| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Sean, I've been reading trying to find why your Tara Labs might be sounding so differently... Still not sure that I ran across it, but I would rather send you down that path before going through a speaker tear down. Your cables are solid core, ... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- The device that I posted is called an LCR Meter... It reads L or Inductance.... Coils. It measures C or Capacitance.. Capacitors, it measures R or resistance.... resistors or even line resisitance. A very different device than what imahififa... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? I also like George's analysis. You may need to change the tubes on the Freya, but I hear its quite nice.... as George mentioned about gain. On the Freya, be prepared that each stage, Passive, SS and Tubed will all have a different amount of ga... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- By the way, I completely agree with georgehifi's recommendation of pulling these out from the wall also to start. Hopefully leave them out, but if your high end doesn't return as strongly as you like, as you move them back towards a way, the h... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Hi Sean, Well since its your thread and you asked, I'll go a bit off subject and answer your question. There are some general rules about cables, that overall hold true... overall, but not entirely... Heavy gauge solid core transfers bass bette... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Sean, if you want to keep up with the speaker building hobby, I would suggest something like this:https://www.amazon.com/Hiyadeal-Inductance-Capacitance-Resistance-Meter/dp/B008QKJOCQ/ref=sr_1_23?ie...This is really cheap, but I suspect it will ... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- C1 is in the woofer circuitC3 & C4 are in the midrangeR3 is in the midrangeR4 is comp on the tweeterI'd put a signal on these and let them burn in for 100 hours or so, then listen again. If these are anything, but a nice improvement in smoot... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Thanks for posting the schematic Sean.... I can see a lot more now.... OK, so this is a series crossover, parts burn in takes about twice as long to burn in rather than a paralleled layout.... Yes, I had a similar effect on my speakers and no, ... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Just looked at your photo... This can be reversed engineered. | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Hi Idahifi, The last time that I used the Jantzen Z caps as replacements, I had the exact same issue. It took about 40 hours before they came to life. If it is truly a problem of ESR differences in caps, that can be measured and compensated f... | |
| 901 series 2 speakers had an old friend that had these speakers.... 901 series 2, driving them was a Technics Sp10 w/Technics arm, Going into an Audio Research SP10, driving with Kenwood L07M mono amps. I've never heard ANY Bose sound better. | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? I just came across an old PS Audio 200C, I immediately thought of this thread, wondered why I didn't think of it sooner, then the PS Delta series came to mind, the Delta 100, Delta 200 and 250 Delta mono blocks. | |

| I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do Maybe I read wrong, I thought you had Paradigm ADP590..... the side woofer pulls out, for the front woofer, you have to remove the front plate and the woofer is attached to the rear of that plate. If the front woofer is not removable, then I wo... | |
| I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do No pictures necessary, I would have taken full measurements of a driver. With that, we could source a suitable replacement. guessing on a driver like this just isn't the way to go. ok, I understand wanting to keep the original, good luck, Tim |
