| Longer speaker cables or interconnects Raindance, The tubes in both the Dyna and the Futterman would pick up ham radio from the passing taxis like crazy until Jon figured out a way to shield them. | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects cd318:The Velvets and the Fugs both came out of an underground East Village / Brooklyn scene that was closely tied to the beat poetry of Jack Kerouac and to the lesser known but maybe more important poet Allan Ginsburg. Ginsberg hung out at Max’s ... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects Kalili,My speakers are 16 ohm and 101dB efficiency. My Dyna MK III have 4, 8, and 16 taps but the Futtermans do not. When I had the 604Cs rebuilt by Gabriel Sound, I had the option of keeping them at 16 or switching them to 8. Jon Specter, my engi... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects Cd318,I did try removing it once to experiment but I still got the feedback. Putting it completely down did the trick. Maybe with the new space this will be a non-issue. BUT...sometimes I think in at least some of those recordings, the engineer is... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects Tyray,Actually, the dust cover is usually up. But with about 10% to 15% of my records, beyond a certain volume, say 85 decibels or so, the cartridge picks up feedback hum from the speakers. When the dust cover is down, the problem disappears compl... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects cd318,Yes. Between his 1st and 2nd LP. He was a scrawny, skinny kid then. And Parsons, that was between his two LPs of course, he was dead a mere 5 months or so later. I sat in the front row at that and most of the other shows, which as you would ... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects Well, speaking of Bruce Springsteen, I saw him Upstairs at Max’s Kansas City, right after his first lp was released. I was sitting in the front row. Clarence was dripping sweat all over me. I saw Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris there, van Morrison... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects Almarg,stock 604B, C, and D were 16 ohms. They can be modified to 8. When I had them re-coned, I kept them at 16. Jon said the Futterman much prefer the 16. E and up are at 8. I will ask Jon about the output impedance of both taps. I’m sure he mus... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects I went to The Cooper Union, I’m always making that mistake. Oops. As for for the rest of your questions, they will have to wait until everything comes back out of their boxes. That said, I have been running the Beard with the Futterman from either... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects dill,no moisture. Sorry. Old? The speaker’s serial # puts them at 1954, the year I was born. Now that’s old! | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects Geoffkait, was it you that I was referring to? 😳speaking of the speed of light, geoffkait just broke the 10,000 barrier. Well done, mate. | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects cd318,No one has been on the other side of a black hole, unless maybe you are metaphorically referring to some members of this community: who knows how fast whatever can travel there, including and especially bs. That aside, yes, Einstein, among o... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects jperry, if the wood stand is on a wood floor, even if on feet, I don’t know if that is simply delaying the inevitable. Maybe the amps get bolted to the brick wall also. My old home was on a busy manhattan intersection. I could feel vibration throu... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects The speaker cable was close to the best that Monster - a new company at the time - had to offer in 1985. I’m not sure of the gauge, actually, but it is quite thick. The system is still in boxes. | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects jperry, thanks for the link but I’m not going to spend $2800 for amp platforms for the same reason I’m not gonna spend a lot of money for cables. My whole system cost cost me no more than $17,000. I prefer to find a way to get 90% of performance o... |
