| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build A 2 way can be done reasonably well, but there is no way around it, you'll be dealing with that huge peak. I have complete measuring equipment. Where are you located? | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Back in my old days at Marcof, Ed Built a few Turntables that were very good, however, He modified several arms, but I have never seen him attempt to build an arm. | |
| A Question About Time Alignment @paul6001 Sorry that I derailed your thread with Kenjit, but overall and I can tell you that a handful of people that gave you answers had a very good understanding and gave accurate answers. It looks to me that regardless of the many answers... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment @kenjit Nope | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Hello Everyone, Since Kenjit mentioned me, I thought that I'd clarify his comments: I often get a pm from others asking for help and EVERYTIME until Kenji I have helped others. Kenji contacted me asking for help with his speaker design. While ... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment I have read through this thread over the past few days and have purposely stayed out. There are some reasonable explanations in this thread and others that don't show a real understanding of time & phase..... I will try to provide an accurate... | |
| What might a good to great 20uF film/foil capacitor for a woofer. from my experience, bang for the buck, I would go for Clarity CSA. If those are too high, I personally would stick with Solen PPE. I've listened to a bunch of budget friendly caps, they are more neutral than most and don't do any nasties that o... | |
| Concentric drivers For most speakers today, doppler is not a real problem. It does exist and can be measured. It would most accurately be described as FREQUENCY Intermodulation distortion. When drivers are used and ran over a very large frequency the drivers mov... | |
| Ampzilla 2000 v2 and Mcintosh MC402 I do understand your Mac passion, but the SST Ambrosia is an outstanding preamplifier. It was just a suggestion, no harm, no foul. | |
| What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you? Erin Bode Singing "These Days" Cello is in the right rear, behind the right speaker. Erin is up front, in front of the speakers a bit off center, classical guitar comes in from someone sitting on a stool, just to the right and behind Erin, Uprig... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Mindy Smith: One Moment More..... Surprisingly good recording and good music to boot Eva Cassidy: Live at Blues Alley..... Clean recording, can get a bit hot on a few spots, but overall, very good. Erin Bode: Don't Take Your Time, Over and Ov... | |
| Speaker Crossover Capacitor Values @jim94025 I just wanted to reiterate again what I posted. Its hard to know who to listen to or not. I've been building..... building speakers for 45 years and also remember, I said "except in correction circuits" The benefits of replacing ele... | |
| Speaker Crossover Capacitor Values Anywhere you put a decent polypropylene cap, it will be better than a good electrolytic, period. In old speakers the argument of esr is normally not as valid except maybe in some correction circuits. The old drivers and crossover parts have all dr... | |
| why rms is good indication for best driver? Resonance and moving mass as you quote definitely affect mechanical Q as you have quoted. Not sure what you are trying to find out or infer? If there is enough interest, i may do a thread on DIY speaker building. | |
| What does Q mean in speaker specifications? QTC is a function of the woofer completed in the box and really designed for a sealed box. A driver in itself has a QMS/QES = QTS and yes, you would be able to measure these on a horn driver. |
