| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? Yes, capacitor break in means.... "more juice"Actually, a capacitor consists of two or more conductive plates which are not connected or touching each other, they electrically separated either by air or by some form of a good insulating material s... | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? To have a guy that is clueless and argues almost every point under gods creation is one thing, but to have a guy chime in that calls himself a manufacture that apparently has never taken the time to measure drivers at several points of break in i... | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? @geoffkait I would argue that many, if not most of those things mentioned also change during break in. Of course, that may or may not be the intent of your post. | |
| Replacing capacitors in Dalquist DQ-10 Speakers @andyhifimanI’ve rebuilt a few dq 10’s. I don’t have schematics in front of me, but I recall 8 caps..... C1 in woofer or mid woofer circuit, C2, C3 are in the midrange, C4, C5 & C6 are in the tweeter and C7 & C8 are in the Piezo. I am goin... | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? "break in cant be measured its not real"This statement is a load of crap. I've been breaking in 4 - 15 inch woofers for about a week. During that week, FS has dropped around 3hz, QTS has dropped about .5 which is sizable. Not sure why someone ... | |
| Audio Connection/Johnny Rutan Several months back, Johnny took my call and gave me very practical advice on purchasing a Previously Enjoyed piece of gear that was not his. If buying from a dealer, I would definitely call Johnny. | |
| does MacBook Pro need a DAC? Take a look at a Schiit Modi 3, excellent performance and inexpensive. You will hear a difference immediately. | |
| Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer I have looked at a bunch of Tekton spec's. Eric does fudge sensitivity, but his other spec's look like they are fairly close and in the end, I can usually see how he gets his sensitivity ratings. Lets look at his sub. He rates it at 100db @ 2.... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? I have very specific design parameters that I'd like to achieve. | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? Hi @phusis Not sure what we’re doing here, but I’ll bite. I assume that you are simply saying that it can be achieved with horns. The Lamar driver is very good for sure. Its top end extension lacks, but its nice sounding, fairly linear (plus or mi... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? @phusisMy original post towards this subject was dealing with what it takes to design a true high sensitivity design that is capable of audiophile use. That is why I posted a few driver spec's in that post to make sure knowledgeable people knew th... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? @phusis So you say "Percieved" and that these mid and bass drivers with good extension and little cone break up are readily available.... recently I've shopped a few hundred drivers looking for such. Please list the model numbers. | |
| Technics Speakers Phase Linear SB 5000A I had a pair of SB7070. The best of this series of Technics speakers. Rebuilt the crossovers entirely. These were very nice sounding speakers. | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? What it comes down to is... really good mids with any type of top end extension without cone break up is hard to find in true high sensitivity speakers. It has already been mentioned about bass.... The bigger the magnet/motor structure of a woofe... | |
| Which SS integrated amp to choose? The Newer versions of the Coda CSIB fit the bill quite nicely |
