| Subwoofers:HT and music:DIY Thought I would follow-up my own thread.I had allocated about $650 for two subs,to use as the .1/LFE units in my HT.I decided to go "used",to hopefully improve upon this aspect and free-up my DIYs that were in service.My decision:I bought the NHT ... | |
| crossover newb with passive subwoofer questions I've used the Parts-Express plate-amps and they are a reasonably priced fix.They are mono units.Since you are using two subs-two are required. Onkyo for subs:You will need a crossover.Maybe a Dahlquist LP-1 or the NHT X-1.The LP-1 is passive (capa... | |
| crossover newb with passive subwoofer questions This can be done with a capacitor feeding the monitors and an inductor on the subwoofer feed.Any idea of what frequency you would use for this crossover? Do the "passive" subs have a level-control? And do you know the impedance of the sub and moni... | |
| Recommendations for my less than ideal setup Gallo 3.Xs,Sonus Faber (WAF),Reference 3A/Veena (used). | |
| Opposite effect with cardas/Ayre CD Had the sam,e experience with a De-mag disc.Hoped for the best,found the worst.Took about a month before I emjoyed listening again.Never do that again; | |
| B&O Beomaster 2000 on the fritz You might run these problems by The Soundsmith.I understand that B&O has licensed him to work on their cartridges. | |
| Where to next? From LP12 to what 3-4000 TT? Bluenote Bellavista (canadianguy/Audio Eden)$1200 and an OL arm.Great combo and should meet your $3K mark. | |
| titanic 15 Have you experimented with the "parametric EQ" function? | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around Every time I have had the Bybee products in a piece of gear,I have removed them.It does some subtractive tricks,but diminishes from the over-all sound. If you should decide to "try" these,make sure they can be removed. I believe that HP/TAS remark... | |
| Recommendations - REGA interconnects Used Grover Huffman,MAS/Parts -Connection SC silver/teflon,Mapleshade/Omega Mikro (the latter has a sale going at 60% off). | |
| impedance vs sensitivity 50W SS or tube? SS might work,tubes would be pushed too hard to develop power into that load. My Air Tight ATM 3s drove the top-end of the VSAs,but were not enough to sufficeintly drive/control the woofers (same with Audio Physics Virgos).You coul... | |
| which tube amp to try??? VTL/Manley,Quicksilver and PrimaLuna 6/7 (70W). | |
| impedance vs sensitivity I know the VSA VR-6s that I owned were 96 db with impedance dipping down to 2-3 ohms (on the woofers). | |
| Can a single LFE output be split to L/R sub inputs Many subs offer an input and output (pass thru).If they offer only the LFE,then a "Y" jack is in order.I use two subs for my LFE and "daisy chain" them.This gives more uniform bass distribution. | |
| need new ic's Grover Huffman (used),Parts-Connection/MAS silver IC,Mapleshade/Omega Mikro clearance sale (-60%). |
