| Free air resonance? While your point is well taken, Dr., with all due respect, I have upgraded tweeters many times, including this spring. Never with less than terrific results.Replacing my Vifa D27 with the Scan Speak Revelators was a tremendous improvement in air, ... | |
| Audioquest upper end copper IC's sound ???? Joe(Gthirteen), where the HELL have you been???It is such a wonderful surprise to see you post again! | |
| Funniest sales pitch Won't fit in my rack so it has to go is definitely a classic. Strangely enough, I have a friend who does buy equipment only if it will fit into his armoire. But, he is always sure before he buys.Jonathan, I also remember the "breast enhancement fo... | |
| Funniest sales pitch I have always loved Joe's(Slipknot1) entry. Guess curiosity killed the old cat, eh? Along with that, the "sealed box" seller also strikes me strange. | |
| Free air resonance? Ditto on the opinions that going to a tweeter with a lower Fs is at least a wash. And, I am of the opinion, like Gregm, that getting the crossover point further away from the resonant frequency is a boon. At the end of the day, unless the speaker ... | |
| Changing to less expensive gear. I have done this successfully with cable, as you can often find a much cheaper alternative which suits you and your system better.It is much more difficult to do this with components or speakers, but it is possible. | |
| Speaker Wires on Carpet I think you and I heard the same things, Nighthawk. | |
| Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert? I am glad you brought that up, Ehoehn. Spinal Tap is often overlooked when it comes to these discussions. I wonder what ever happened to that amp?The point I ALWAYS make to audiophiles is, one venture to see live music will totally make you questi... | |
| Speaker Wires on Carpet I'll also side with Rush here. Although my cables are currently on the carpet, the times I have listened with the cables up, I noticed a definite change in the dynamics. At first, I thought I was crazy, but after reading it a couple of years later... | |
| Svetlana 572-3 tube---Still available? Have you inquired at Cary, Justlisten to confirm that this is the case? I would also check with the tube seller, it may just be a typo. | |
| Crossover mods and speaker efficiancy? Sean, actually you beat me to the punch in saying the same thing! You deserve the credit. I thought I was posting first, but you must have gotten up pretttttty early in the morning. Anyway, it is clear we are on the same page, and now so it Mitch.... | |
| Crossover mods and speaker efficiancy? It's great to hear the mods have made such a positive impact in the sound, Mitch!These mods should definitely make your speakers more efficient. Especially, the inductors and resistors. But, I think the DynamiCaps do this as well, which is why the... | |
| Europeans vs. the U.S.A. Very interesting question, Onhwy61!I think Brian's post is very accurate. Is it American to have the "do one thing and do it right" attitude? I am not sure, but over time, there have evolved speaker companies, electronics companies, turtable compa... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? Gregm, I was going to suggest the same thing. Although, the Hiquphons are smaller than most, and will not drop right in.I would suggest the Vifa Ring Radiator. At $65 it is a steal, our speaker designer at Fried likes it better than the much more ... | |
| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? Exertfluffer, you and I are not in disagreement. What you are talking about would allow the flexibility of tailoring the sound to the listener. Again, that is a major goal of mine.However, as has been pointed out by Phlanoue and Gregm, this is far... |
