| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? Well, this about seals it - the impedance of the affected speaker measures over 25 ohm (with all the drivers installed), the other one about 4 ohms as intended. BTW, I've learned my lesson about digressing too much on a thread I've posted where I ... | |
| Review: Meitner MTR-101 Amplifier AV_specialist: I don't know you from Adam (at least not that I'm aware of), but acknowledge that you can do and say what you like - I'm open-minded and thick-skinned. But it does seem strange that as of right now, you have a grand total of all of ... | |
| Ever perform a preamp bypass comparision test? Before I respond, let me say up front that I truly appreciate AV_specialist's interest in this thread if it is sincere, but either I am missing something or I need more explanation or justification of his seeming position, so here goes:1) Umm...Du... | |
| Review: Meitner MTR-101 Amplifier My philosophy is, if you're going to ask of someones's time by prompting them to click on your thread, then at least do them the courtesy of taking the time yourself to make your thread a worthwhile effort. A'gon has no guidelines suggesting anyon... | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto Received my new TAS today, had to smile when I got to page 147, and even more on 163... | |
| Ever perform a preamp bypass comparision test? First question: I'd want to spend time doing this test in order to learn about my preamps and what they are doing, not only in comparision with each other, but to the unadulterated source.Second: Of course not.Third: Not true. It's passive resisti... | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto I was never very into the groups you mention. Most of them have their appealing aspects to me on their best material though, and I even own a couple of things here and there. The British group which came out in the early 80's that I was most into ... | |
| SPL meter recommendation Richingoth (Are you really? I know that's probably a name and the place you live, but I like the way it sounds as if it's your financial status and style preference!), that sounds like one hell of a handheld instrument. :-) Thanks for the referenc... | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto Centurymantra: Glad you could pop into the thread to share those great stories. I wish I could say I was down with The Lips back when, but they actually came out right about the time I had begun to tire of what was left from the indie movement's b... | |
| SPL meter recommendation I can understand your point inpepinnovations, but wouldn't meter ballistics still enter into the accuracy question? | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto Thanks for the Wilco imput Phil (the rest too :-). I'll have to make an effort to give them a listen (unfortunately for me, my ability to preliminarily audition stuff online is about nil, due to my relatively ancient computer, which just can't dea... | |
| Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating OK, I can see why you didn't suspect the amp...I did own an older Classe once (a Seventy, not the same generation or as high-power as yours) that never sounded properly balanced until I put a Synergistic AC cord on it, but that really transformed ... | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? Um, getting back to my speaker...I removed the silent woofer, and it checks out fine for continuity, registering 4 ohms (I haven't tried applying a music signal to it). The woofer's leads going back to the crossover also sound the buzzer on the me... | |
| Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating Just curious Pvanosta, what is your amplification? I will say in my experience with my 2.2's, speaker cable of a heavier guage does work best for the bass, but only in terms of tonality, quantity, dynamics, and extension - lighter guage cable will... | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto Well Ben (and Phasecorrect), I couldn't disagree with you more about The Lips simply being a flavor of the moment. It seems as if my passing comment about the critical reaction to them has been misinterpreted. I personally don't give a care about ... |
