| Upgrading interconnects? I am not speaking of 0/180 degrees,as a subwwoofer filter/crossover.I have heard MIT and the filtering/Band Pass filters do effect the frequency spectrum/sound.Changing out to a piece of wire which does not try to do such sophisticated spectrum/fr... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy:Funny you should mention birch,as this is the material I made my rack shelves out of. You might look at the Jantzen crosscoil inductors.They use a ribbon.I really liked them in a crossover re-build that I under took. | |
| Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar When the "next generation " Verito Z arrives in users hands (arms),will someone be willing to comment??? I understand the "original" was happiest in high-mass arms (IE:the Walker at 30+ grams).Much like the Myabi. Is the Shilabe,the current produc... | |
| Upgrading interconnects? Capacitors and inductors effect phase,as any electrical course will teach the student.Thus many of the equations have to do with phase angles/relationships. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy:It also has to with dialectric.As dialectric is much like a capacitor.It can change the hi-frequencies and absorb/re-release and not in phase with the incoming signal.I find the cables to be fairly "honest".Whether this flatters the syst... | |
| Upgrading interconnects? You might be amazed at what getting rid of passive components in the signal path can do.Akin to preamps and amplifiers.These components all contribute something.Correcting phase relationships after-the-fact doesn't make sense to me.If the speaker ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy:Yes,I have heard 35 ga (Walkers' Bio-wire) and 54 ga wire in an older OM design.There seems to be a greater coherency to phase.The ribbons go one further,until they get too thin and fragile.A law of diminishing returns. I was surprised w... | |
| Upgrading from TMC speaker cables- to what??? You might contact Albert Porter/Porterhouse Audio.He is a dealer for PAD and knows the cable line. | |
| Kharma ceramic blow up Maybe the Kharma sub would eliminate the problem by removing the suspect low-frequency/s. | |
| Audio Rack Construction I would fill the "tubing" with a material to dampen it.Mine touch the shelving (brass).Be sure to leave enough threaded rod to attach footers. | |
| Reed 12" vs Ikeda 407 tonearm Be careful,as disclaimers are few and far between. | |
| shopping and need advice Keep an eye open for the Radio Shack/Lineaum PRO LX-10s,on auctions/E-Bay.They sell for about $150/pr.The two 7" drivers are junk,replace with the Aurum Cantus 7" DVCs.Junk the crossover and replace with a 4.0mfd cap and .11mH inductor.The tweeter... | |
| Upgrading interconnects? Have heard a similar system with MIT,You might look at Silent Source Copper Reference or Purist. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy:Really like the Mapleshade/Omega Mikro cabling.Had access to many cable lines,when working at a dealership many years ago.I had bought my IC/SC then ,before hearing the OMs (about $1K each). I couldn't believe what these cables did.There... | |
| Maple Shade Recordings? Mapleshade Music Festival.Have to agree with Lindisfarne.The recording is great,but by the time a few tracks have past>>on to something different.Festival is a good ,cheap exposure,or a compilation. |
