| What is a Low Pass Filter Otherwise, your subwoofer would also be receiving midrange signals full force, which would make it much easier to hear its location. Your ears would know that it is not blending as well as could be with your main speakers, as it should 'disappear'... | |
| Shakti Stones - How to arrange them? For more added amusement of sceptics here, I have found rotating the Stones makes a difference, particularly on transformers. In other words, place it, listen, then rotate the Stone 90 degrees, etc. IF it makes an audible difference on that compon... | |
| Anything Like a Joule Electra? Actually, they would still be OTLs, because the Zeros are not output transformers but auto transformers, seen as part of the speaker, instead of the amp.Someone more technical than I can explain it better: http://www.zeroimpedance.com/faq.html#12 ... | |
| Powercords and Speakers I don't know your exact situation, but when I replaced the stock cords on my Quad 63s, it made a very nice difference. The AC is used to power the stators; I would guess it should make a larger difference on the built-in amps on your speakers.How ... | |
| Best Kept Secret in Audio?? David99,I used to fall asleep listening to Clyde Clifford on Bleeker Street from KAAY in Little Rock transmitting all the way up to Iowa. (I hope I remembered all that correctly, it's been 35-36 years ago.) Forgot about that until you said somethi... | |
| Srangest ,most out there sounding music Charles Carpenter in his "Frog a La Peche" CD used an unusual tuning (Bohlen-Pierce scale) and made the music sound both in and out-of-tune at the same time. Made me a little queasy at first hearing and drove a friend's dog to the closet every tim... | |
| Can you help with music selection? Also Sarah McLachlan (The Freedom Sessions & Surfacing), Jane Siberry (When I Was A Boy) and Lisa Gerrard (Duality & Immortal Memory). The common thread in these singers is their purity and the ability to seemingly just open their mouths a... | |
| Digital Front End: Critical Listening Are you using a good digital cable from transport to DAC? That would be the other all new component in your system besides the DAC, going from a one-box player. Just a thought. A new cable getting some press is the Stereovox HDVX.Don't ask me, tho... | |
| Anyone still do insightful or intelligent lyrics? I take an active dislike to groups who think that one line repeated 4 times is a chorus. Some popular, some critically acclaimed. To me, just lazy.How about Sarah McLachlan, Joe Pernice (of the Pernice Bros.), Jane Siberry, Tom Russell, Loreena Mc... | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? I want to take back my Fulton response. My first cable "gasp" was when I replaced the 'take it, it's free' cable from the dealer with some 14 ga lamp cord. "Huh? It makes a difference?" I thought at the time - 1973/4 and just outta high school. Bo... | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? Fulton Brown and Gold speaker cable. Boy, my age isn't showing now, is it? From then it's been ever upward (and a few sideways moves.) | |
| Upgrade or Mod? This is not what you are expecting to hear:While I have not heard any of your components, I have used both Kimbers and would suspect them as passing that type of sound. Depending on the equipment, they can be revealing/very clean or sort-of-"wiry"... | |
| Solar Flares keep coming I'm playing a loop of "It's The End of the World As We Know It" tonight! ;) | |
| Anthony Gallo Acoustics Due vs Totem DreamCatcher Almighty1,You are correct about the size of the drivers in the Due's. When I read in the literature that they had 4" speakers, I was thinking drivers. Sorry for trying to mislead you. And, according to my old math formulas, 2 - 3" drivers only hav... | |
| Anthony Gallo Acoustics Due vs Totem DreamCatcher Could you perhaps drive to one of your dealers and actually listen to them? It sounds as if your mind is made up, especially with the built-in jingoism of Canadian brands vs US brands. I would think 57 Hz with a 4" driver is really pushing it; how... |
