| moding and the inexperienced I completely agree with all the above 95%... Any Adcom other than the GFP750 will never be made significantly better to the point of being worth the money for future resale... On the other hand. If you have some nice parts laying around and in gen... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? Thanks Tom, As you might expect, I've got quite a stash of Marcof innerconnects, I also use our speaker cable.

| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? 08-15-11: Theaudiotweak"You can hear where the bass originates even below 40 hz".Well maybe if crossed at 40HZ @ 6 db per octave, maybe, but crossed @ 12, 18 or 24 db per octave. I wish that I could quote some test somewhere, but I have had hundre... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? Mitch4t, Sorry, I just realized that I did not completely answer your question... Also yes, you can put a sub behind you. Back at Marcof Electronics seems like 300 years ago, we had our own sub design. We buit an 8, 10, 12 & 15 inch model.. At... | |

| Cat damaged speaker, Help Hi Rodmann 99999, Glue and fabric won't add a half gram of mass and it is not on the cone. Final qts won't change by .01. This mass will not be noticeable. I agree with your last post, but Bob doesn't need an "o"ring. 25 or 30 years ago, I did rec... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help Bob, I started to send you a private email but decided to go ahead and post this here for everyone. The best repair is one that will be permanent without adding mass to your cone. Much mass will change your qms. Although I doubt this minimal mass ... | |
