| Old vs. New Agree with Faust3d about some new gear being very analytical, Measurements are the place to start, should never be the place you end. Listening prevails. | |
| Old vs. New I have been building Speakers since 1979. In the early 80's I was with SpeakerCraft/Marcof electronics. Speaker components have certainly improved, the real improvement is consistency. Drivers used to be plus or minus up to 20% in spec, today, the... | |

| Building a Music Server that will play all formats Foobar 2000 or JRiver playing in wasapi mode are normally considered the best sounding players. Also, I've read fairly consitantly that Windows 7 has a better driver base and is typically thought of as the best sounding. Big argument between wav a... | |

Hi Mattybumpkin, I am not a tech, maybe someone else can reply, but I have replaced a half dozen optical assembly's, most recently in an NAD cd player, it was a Sony optical assembly and yes, on 5 out of 6 of the units that I have done had two sol... | |
| Soundstage, Imaging, Detail & Presence?? As much as I agree with Soniqmike and Phasecorrect that the sound is soooo much more important than those terms, I can still appreciate the op wanting to be able to sit in on discussions of the strengths and weaknesses of different equipment where... | |
| DIY. Whose speakers would you use? Thanks for the clarification Jim... To start, decide on the total picture that you want to achieve. Do you want a full size or full range speaker. That typically requires a 3 way or more design. Do you want a smaller or stand mount. How much power... | |
| DIY. Whose speakers would you use? Hi Dan, As I said, no offense intended, I really should have said "If someone could not decern" and not used "you". The comment was not meant to be personal. I have spent a fair amount of time on the diy forums through the years. I made a poor ass... | |
| DIY. Whose speakers would you use? Hi Dan ed, No offense meant, but If you could not decern which comments to take seriously, you probably should not be building yourself. I asked the op several questions that really need to be answered to choose any diy speakers. No answers. To pr... | |
| DIY. Whose speakers would you use? Hi Edgecreek209, I have built many many speakers. To accurately answer your question we all should know the answer to a couple of questions. Are you capable of crossover design or are you looking for a pre designed product? If you have a good desi... | |
| Soundstage, Imaging, Detail & Presence?? We all speak the same language...don't we?Soundstage: The illusion of looking at an actual stage, some are wide or deep, some may me very small, but your system should duplicate the actual stage.Imaging: A systems ability to let you see where sing... | |
| Insignia 6.5" Two Way I've read more threads on this speaker than I care to think about and have looked at 3 different crossover designs as well as doing one myself. The final result with the way that I have described above was as good as any I had tried. You must incl... | |
| Insignia 6.5" Two Way Hi Jedinite24I have modded a few pair of these, when finished they were much better than described here. I've tried different mods including complete crossover rebuilds, but the one I like the best overall is easy and I stole most of it. I opened ... | |
| Ribbon Tweeters??? Beamy meaning very limited dispersion pattern. | |
| Ribbon Tweeters??? Normally speaking, most ribbons are no different from traditional drivers in that the larger the driver the lower the resonance and Larger ribbons can be crossed lower. Many still need to be crossed higher than their dome counterparts. They are ve... |
