| Sub placement Keillor: the Velodyne ULD 25 is floor firing. I can’t “aim” it in any direction in the way you suggest. | |
| Sub placement Mijostyn, Your comment is consistent with the rational behind the coaxial mains: the tweeter and woofer signal comes from the same point source. No “corners” to put the sub in at the moment. | |
| Sub placement Andrs65: I am not familiar with the technology that you are using. I’m just glad a light bulb finally went off in my head about putting it behind the “sweet chair”.I thought: the sub sounds the best in its old spot between and slightly behind the ... | |
| Sub placement Ddrave44:The only control on the 15” Velodyne ULD II is a volume control. That’s it. It is set 50% lower now. I have a BBE282ii to adjust the phasing, one for each channel, but those are between the preamp and the sub’s servo/amp. The sub’s servo ... | |
| Sub placement Oldhbymec,Thx, I suspect that the feet that I’m waiting for will help. I had wooden floors in the loft but the mechanical transmission wasn’t as much of a problem as the reflections were. Speakers in the front: I guess I’m old old old school. Not ... | |
| Sub placement Musicaddict:I don’t hear the sub’s location. When listening to Bill Evan’s “Waltz for Debby” the bass is in fact coming from the front of the stage off to the right for example. But the piano is now very nearly in my lap! The Velodyne crosses over... | |
| Sub placement Thx jtcf. I have a second Velodyne ULD 15, but these things are big enough (don’t forget the huge cabinets that the Altecs are in), and this one already can be easily felt on the ground floor (ground, 2nd, 3rd, attic), yet I wasn’t getting the sou... | |
| Trying to Help My Nephew With His First Venture Into High End Audio I built a Dyna70 and a Dyna PAS from kits when I was 14 so I don’t see why tubes would be inappropriate esp if he is geeky-oriented. Get him a kit to build: then he will really learn. | |
| Noise floors I have one of those floor boards, actually. | |
| Noise floors Well, what’s your goal? 15 db? 10? 5? 0?There is a point of “silence” at which the mind is not designed to adapt. The mind needs some noise simply so that it can keep us balanced while standing up. The mind needs some noise because it is programme... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Best-groove”it's fun to philosophize about the theory of nothing. LoL”yes. All those philosophers used to drive taxis in NYC before the Pakistanis took over. | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Chakster, if by VdH, you mean Van den Hul: I have been sending my cartridges to him for 25 years minimum. I’m a “normal” person (if I put aside the fact that I’m an audiophile) and I speak to people there, get emails back and forth, and he is less... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 I’m finding this discussion to be rather useless, and therefore, exhausting. Do we have any measurable data or blind studies that show that any of this matters?Buy a cartridge that is good enough (any Koetsu, my personal preference, will do), that... | |
| Noise floors SNS, thank you for that link. Very interesting, perhaps a bit more detail than I need but very cool to read. I was being a little coy in my comment above. In my view, the room isn’t half of the audio system, it’s a third. The other third is our br... | |
| The best tube poweramp. . What do you think about ? I have NY Audiolab Futterman OTLs. Rarer than hen’s teeth. Easier to find than the ones built by Julius, which are rarer than rocking horse s^#*. Jon Specter, cousin of Al Kooper and former NY Audiolab technician, converted them from pentode to tr... |
