| Reference level playback Hi Viridian, I like your analogy to a car. If you keep the throttle (volume control) steady you will actually go faster downhill (increase volume) and slower uphill (decreased volume-aka dynamics). Unless of course if you are using cruise contol t... | |
| Reference level playback Hi Newbee, It is not anything to do with distortion or feedback or limitations of my system, wow, did I say that?. We are trying to "reproduce a recording". At a certain level you have dynamics and a natural level on an recording, whether the engi... | |
| One's trash is someone else's treasure Hi, By best trash to treasure story for audio is....My local dump AKA recycling station has a "Take it or Leave it". A place to put unwanted goods if you dont want to put them on Ebay, want to have a tag sale or feel its just to good to be put in ... | |
| amplifier DB meters Hi Atmasphere, I will be there if the V6 shows up, though I will be there no matter what. I am also going this year, dont know what I will bring this year (perhaps my Bimota SB2) but I will definatly have the SFC there next year. Here is a link to... | |
| amplifier DB meters Hi Atmasphere, I heard it through the motorcycle/audio grapevine that you are a Laverda-phile. I have a '72 SF, '74 SFC and a RGS Corsa. I have owned the SFC since the early 80s. Great bikes any chance you make it to Mid Ohio for the vintage races... | |
| amplifier DB meters HI Shadorne, I believe each bank is wired in just that- parallel groups in series. I have the wiring diagram and paramaters somewhere but I did this 8 years ago so I kind of forgot the details. I needed to keep it 4 ohms where my friends are wired... | |
| amplifier DB meters Hello, Atmasphere and Shadorne, thanks for your responses. Meters are good and useful I believe, just perhaps we should have better ones on our amps. My woofer system is wired - parallel groups in series. There are 32 drivers in total. 8 forward f... | |
| Equilizer to reduce surface noise on bad records? Hello, Try a SAE or Burwen impulse noise reduction unit. They are frequently found on Ebay for less that $200 last time I checked. They both work well but are not miracle workers. Bob | |
| amplifier DB meters Helio, When my system is playing and I only ever see 4 watts on the meter with the loudest peak, I can figure that the amp is using more watts, than the meter is reading, but how much more? Assuming that the meter is correct - a big assumption I g... | |
| Polystyrene diffusers Hello, Look into the Real Traps for better results. Real Traps have better absorption at lower freq which is very important. Bob | |
| amplifier DB meters Hi, So most of the meters are inaccurate? Though they give a reasonable indication of power, is that correct? As I originally stated I use mine for tuning my system, I can see more or less power being used when setting crossover, EQ or listening l... | |
| Obsessed with room acoustics Hello, take a look at my room, I am obsessed also. You should be! This was the biggest improvement I have done to my system. If you are really serious about good sound and hearing your components this it the final frontier. I would say though that... | |
| dissapointing audiophile recording Hello, Well, I guess, what the in the world do I know? Johnnyb52 (in the thread "Spelunking for old vinyl in thrift shops") just picked up the Readers Digest of Light classical and loves it! There's hope for Kenny G afterall. No offence JB52. I ha... | |
| dissapointing audiophile recording Hi Schipo, Allright lets agree on Montovani and change the Readers Digest "festival of light classical music" to Longines Symphonette Society wonderful recording to the "Family library of beautiful listening". I hate to offend anyone so Kenny G is... | |
| dissapointing audiophile recording Hello, yes, that is correct Elizabeth. I grade my LPs on four different factors;1) studio/production, includes engineer and musicians,room, recording technique etc2) pressing, includes vinyl and the pressing3 condition, ie groove wear and physical... |
