| What makes an expensive speaker expensive "Speaking of crossover parts, it is easy to take an inexpensive low and mid grade speaker to a much higher level by just replacing the caps, resistors, and inductors to higher quality ones"While I agree 100% with audioman2015, I want to caution a... | |
| Magtech amplifier over heating. I know Coda has made some changes to that Circuit in recent months... Might be worth giving Doug a call. He will talk openly and honest, then you can follow up with Roger. Good Luck | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive I just realized that I did not answer the last question from the op...No, I would not be surprised to find that a $10,000 speaker could outperform a few $100,000 to $150,000 speakers, much less a $30,000 speaker. Its all taste.... the Accuton ce... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Hi All, Tubes 444, while I agree with your assessment, right off the top of my head, I can think of 10 or 12 quality current driver manufactures. Tim | |

| What makes an expensive speaker expensive So what makes an Expensive speaker Expensive? Well, I'll chime in, but I'm sure that I won't solve a thing and will offend someone. Many of you know that I've built a lot of speakers and through the years, I've been inside of a lot of speakers. ... | |
| Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversity speaker: Best stand height for them and brand?? Hi Jim, Sit in your listening chair, have someone measure the distance from the floor to your middle ear.... Normally 38 to 40 inches... whatever that height is, look at your Warfedales, with a crossover point of 2.3khz and listening to them s... | |
| Preamp recommendation please.. Solid State: for about half that money, you can get a Bel Canto Pre3... Nice, neutral preamp, good dynamics too. You might lay your hands on a Coda 05 or 07X at that price. | |
| Can too many components on one outlet affect the sound of an amp? I had always put my amp plugged directly into its own outlet, the difference was subtle, but audible... About 8 months ago, I had a lighten strike and lost my beloved Old Crazily modified Sumo Nine. Everything on the Conditioner is still alive.... | |
| Subwoofer doubts: crossover setting for 60hz speakers Hi fedocable, I don't know anything about stricter books, but I've set a bunch of subs over the years. Bass does become directional between 80 and 100hz. There is no absolute answer to your questions. Room nodes and woofer placement cause or cor... | |
| Thoughts on replacing caps in 30 year old speakers Changing caps to a very different part will be audible, but it will not re create this speaker...

| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Thanks for the correction Roger, I had read your white paper and I guess I misconstrued because of terms that you use like "adding a reference clock" and "error handler" "Amazingly, the solution for correcting the problem is just as tiny but with... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? After reading this, went online to find it, took me awhile so I thought I'd post the link... After reading, a lot makes sense, a ton of digital correcting done to the signal on the front end. http://h-cat.com/I hope this helps, Tim | |
| Please recommend preamp I also agree with Al, some older SS stuff competes extremely well at a great price... I'd the Classe CP50 would be great, a Muse 3 Signature, An Adcom 750, Audio Research LS-9 or LS3B, Coda Windows Continuum 4 or Coda CL and last but not least a... |
