| Best Midbass woofer for solid 30hz - 2khz @mozartfan...... sorry, I can't do this anymore, you are a waste of time. You have no interest in learning. | |
| Best Midbass woofer for solid 30hz - 2khz There are certainly a few that can get you close... So does size matter? 6 to 8 inch? Do you need something that rolls off smooth at 2k or is something that needs crossover work ok? Also, there are things that get you into the 30's but flat down... | |
| ClarityCap ESA vs RelCap (ex multicap) This won't help you a bit, but I thought it could help to get others to chime in. I have used both, but in very different situations. I have used RelCap in Power Supply bypass in amplifiers. I have used ESA in speakers. I can say that both did... | |
| CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB I have built many speakers, I have to say, a few could handle this, but without fail, when I had decent to high sensitivity 15 inch, these recordings sounded their best. Also, there has been some talk above about drivers bottoming out on the ca... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer Its ridiculous listening to a tiny 1.3 inch dome tweeter trying to gather up a full range orchestra in full power." You are right it is, that's why we use another driver below it and a crossover. tweeters reproduce harmonics mostly and ar... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer @mozartfan I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but you are clueless. You can certainly find An example of each of the above, but making blanket statements is naive. | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? I'm not as in depth about amp building and repairs as others around here, but now that I see this, I don't see why you couldn't do what you wanted to in the first place and use a decent metalized polypropylene there, say 33uf/400v. I don't see a... | |
| Burning in newly rebuilt crossover capacitors Volume matters some, but not like breaking in a driver. You are increasing voltage through the caps. It is more important to just get a signal through them, but cranking does speed things up a bit. I'm sorry that I can't give you anything more ... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer @larryi Oh Larry, you are absolutely 100% correct. I was trying to at least give him guidance on where to look for a basic understanding. He would never design anything from that brief description, but it is a start. Recently, I've been playing... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer @mozartfan I suggest that you study a bit about speaker design. There is a lot more than spec's, but they do tell a basic story. Look at the spec's on drivers that you are comparing. First Mass MMS... The amount of cone & suspension weight... | |
| Refurb GAS Grandson amp or put money towards another amp? @johnnyotto I know this is more than a month past, but a couple of weeks ago I finished a Grandson complete rebuild. It was one of the easier amps that I have done and really sounds terrific. I mean really performs at a high level. Just wanted t... | |
| DIY Speakers Well, I do agree that Parts Express does not carry many of the better brands, none the less. For $1200 or less with a promo, I find this one of the best kit values out there.... Period. Of course, it stays sold out. They only sell about a dozen at... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? My gosh, I’m rebuilding 2 amps right now that are 35 and 38 years old, every cap in both amps were in better shape than those. I didn't catch in the thread which amp that you have. I don't think that you'll find most of those caps in what I recomm... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? On the electrolytic on the boards, I would recommend Panasonic FM, Nichicon KZ or FG or Elna Silmic II. These caps all perform at a very high level. | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? If you are ordering caps, you might as well order and replace all the electrolytic while you are at it. Also there is never a problem with getting higher voltage or higher temperature caps, in fact it is recommended. Just check the size. You’ll be... |
