| I have spica angelus speakers, how do I know when the cross over needs rebuilding? John used an Audax HD12.9D25HR on that speaker. I don't recall this tweeter using Ferro fluid. Audax still stocks the replacement coils. You can try Madisound, they don't list it, but they may have it, Falcon Acoustics in the UK list that the... | |
| I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do @shweinhold No, I am in Arkansas, I would measure the driver for QES, QMS, QTS, FS, VAS, etc.... we would then search all drivers in its size and compare published spec's... you would then simply buy a pair of the closest thing available and r... | |
| mundorf m-resist supreme vs jantzen mox and others @audio4pass Not sure, I've been building speakers for a long time... I have definitely tried a couple different Mundorf resistors. I know one was a metal oxide type, because I was comparing it to Lynk, a similar type. There is no doubt the quali... | |
| mundorf m-resist supreme vs jantzen mox and others Mills is my go to resistor also... I've tried several, there are clear differences in resistors, but to my old ears, not as much as in good capacitor difference...."Hot" means a peak, normally a slight peak, in the upper midrange to lower t... | |
| Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp A Sumo Athena can be had for $200 to $300. It is better than any Adcom other than the GFP-750... You could find an Old B&K for that price or as mentioned above, a decent passive could be found in that price range. I suspect, this sounds pre... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Sean, I see that you are going to purchase a meter... The one that I posted is more of a general speaker builders tool. It doesn't offer esr ratings, but it will measure capacitors, resistors and Inductors all 3. If you aren't worried about s... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- @erik_squires Sean, to make this easy, without driving you crazy, I believe Eriks last advice is the most sound, replace the caps except the 2 2200 mic caps, I suspect that you'll be fine... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- @imhififan ... well, again, ESR should've had the opposite effect. The old caps matter, plus his Tara Labs are solid core. Typically solid core are not as extended on top, plus those Tara labs have some sort of circuit in them... But overall,... | |
| Tube preamp with or without phono stage? Not to steal the thread, but to add to what John wrote... Just recently, I mildly slapped a retailer for starting a thread that peddled his goods. Ralph consistently offers true advice to all type of issues and helps resolve issues for all. I h... | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. Hi Todd, I bought these from an Abletec distributor in the UK. I paid more than this. I believe someone bought up the last of the inventory. I have built with these and oddly enough, just reinserted them back into my system a couple of days ago... | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. Todd, I believe those Ghent amps are fairly expensive these days. If you find that it is truly shot, I might recommend these... Very nice sounding modules, I believe that they'll fit in the Ghent cases... 150 to 8 and 300 to 4. Good luck, T... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Ok, I have avoided trying to come off as a know it all. I don't want to be that way, nor known to be that way, but I'm going into teaching mode....We are combining some difficult theories with some very elementary basics. I'm going to speak onl... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Ok, thanks Sean...again, my argument isn't that ESR doesn't matter, My argument is that it isn't enough to do this. So, you are saying that you replaced your midrange electrolytics and your tweeters returned? To be clear in my own pea brain. | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Sean, also as I mentioned in email, the 2200 mic caps are big enough to make a difference and they are polarized, so to reiterate my email... could it be that you had polarization backwards on 1 or both caps? Again, these 2 caps have enough r... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- well that is partially what I said... I said that the electrolytics that you replaced are all in the midrange and that your tweeters should be functioning correctly. Either the issue is in the midrange or you have a bad tweeter diaphragm from over... |
