| Hearing loss , speakers or headphones ? You could try a DSP unit like the miniDSP offerings or DSpeaker anti-mode units. These have PEQ and shelf eq abilities. You could add a rising high frequency shelf eq setting sorta like adding a treble control... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? I'll admit I enjoyed experimenting with cables especially the DIY cables I made. The problem I see is manufacturers trying to BS people or take advantage of an audiophile's pursuit of improvements. The never ending more expensive "upgrades" these ... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? If you can justify the expense of trying exotic cables and enjoy it there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s your time and money. I have some "budget" VH AUDIO cables and DIY stuff and did try some more expensive stuff and decided my budget stuff is go... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Mogami, cheap and "sound" as good as any overpriced audiophile cable. | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Also moving them a little at a time doesn't seem to change the sonic character that much to me. I have ceiling and sidewall absorption panels so I don't think reflections are causing much issues. They just sound a bit too forward for me at higher ... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I did tinker with the positioning some. I have the Tektons 42" from the front wall 24" from side walls measured from the back and outside of the cabinets, and about 8 feet apart measured from the center tweeters. The center tweeter is about in li... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I'll add that the Tektons have really nice smooth highs and dig out all the details of the music and I can hear the details at modest volume levels, the EP 4.7s sound best at higher volumes and have different presentation being open baffle. The mu... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Hi guys, I only tried my Odyssey Extreme SE monoblocks. These are warm to neutral I think campared to other amps I've owned. I have an Emerald Physics EP 100.2 SE that I use for the mids and tweeter of the 4.7, those have more sparkle in the top e... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I've had Impact monitors for a couple weeks now. I think they offer very good clarity, resolution and are very efficient, but comparing to my Emerald Physics EP 4.7 the bass is a little unnatural sounding to me. Also I think the EP 4.7 portray the... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I agree jcarcopo, I really am glad I bought my Impact monitors and this thread helped me decide. The talk of ridiculously priced cables, crossover parts etc takes away credibility of the posters who praised the speakers. And yes I tried some expen... | |
| Anyone else having trouble getting cartridges back they sent for repair? A while back, a year or so I think, Axel said he tried repairing the suspension of the 205C a couple times but wasn't satisfied with the results. I thanked him for his efforts and said you can just send them back if you want and I'll try and find ... | |
| Anyone else having trouble getting cartridges back they sent for repair? Well beat is not the same as being ripped off or scammed. So not beat ripped off is better definition of what happened. | |
| What with or about irreparable cartridge? Well mine had suspension failures, but was hoping he could repair. It's not an easy thing to accomplish sometimes with certain types of cartridges like the Technics models. | |
| What with or about irreparable cartridge? He has two of my cartridges for over a year. Technics 100C and P205CMKIII. He says hard to repair so I guess he gave up, but at least you'd think he'd send me back my cartridges! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Is Axel still around? Has Two of my cartridges for almost a year, didn't reply to my last week. |
