| What Makes a Good RIAA or Line Stage? Hello all, Is my assumption correct that a small deviation in the frequency response at the phono stage is magnified by the time it reaches the speakers? In otherwords if you have a 1db variation at the phono section it is much more detrimental th... | |
| Synergy - how to get there Hi Doug, Well said. My main reference to synergy is fine tuning all of the components, as they are single components within a system, but if you get it correct the whole is more than the sum of its parts. You can obtain this by tweaking each compo... | |
| Crank it up just once Hi Jsd52756, The first thing you need to do is buy the radio shack or some other SPL meter. I prefer the analogue meter.Do this first and then let us know the level when you have it at 1:00 etc. Also all systems sound different when playing at dif... | |
| Synergy - how to get there Hello, I think what I was trying to get at was that a system of components can get to a level that is optimized perhaps as best that it can be, within its limitations that are inherent in any design. Secondly that a good listener can bring out cer... | |
| Synergy - how to get there Hi, I think that synergy has more to do with making your systems components work together the best that they can. You cannot make your system sound like something it is not capable of or make it sound like someone elses system even if you have the... | |
| Synergy - how to get there P.S. This is mainly my "theory" though I have seen some references to it elsewhere on the net, though never here. I developed it though my constant listening sessions over the last couple of years and it does indeeed work very well for me. That be... | |
| Synergy - how to get there Hi Gammajo, Yes, for myself, since I only listen all out, it is important that the volume be set correctly. My suggestion is that when you do indeed sit down to listen that the system is set at a reference volume. This is something that takes awhi... | |
| What Makes a Good RIAA or Line Stage? Hi Doug, Thanks for the response. I am looking forward to seeing pictures. It is important to understand ones sonic priorities as perhaps no ones are the same? Even though there are certain "threads" that hold them all together. By the way one doe... | |
| What Makes a Good RIAA or Line Stage? Hi Doug, Do you have any pictures of your system? I think it would help myself and others when we read your responses as to a reference to what you are listening to. Also what are you sound reproduction goals?Bob | |
| Synergy - how to get there Hello all, Gammmajo says: "It really takes time to hear the effects of change throughout your entire music collection and personal moods. Be attentive to room effects throughout the process. Big smiles of satisfaction even weeks after making a cha... | |
| What speakers play the loudest cleanly ? Hi Stehno, I find those levels to be loud enough (maybe it is not loud) but it is a personal thing. I agree that 94-105db is room filling etc. At that point it is loud though quite listenable. It does matter though on your system and room acoustic... | |
| What speakers play the loudest cleanly ? Hello all, I think that when someone says what speakers play loud or I listen loud we need a reference. The poster of this post says "that play very loudly" what do you think is loud? Have any of the responders measured their system when it is pla... | |
| How high do subs go Hi Kal yeah sorry that 80 hz was a typo. I do in fact crossover my woofer system at 185hz. Now the question is what makes someone call a subwoofer a subwoofer? Should I call my sytem a subwoofer, since it goes to 20hz or as I presently call it a w... | |
| How high do subs go Hello, Not only do cheap ones go to 80hz but good ones too. That is where my woofer system is crossed over at. You may see them in "my system". They are not "your average bear". Good subs require a bit of surface area, especially if they are going... | |
| Subsonic filter wish and a solution Hi 240Z, Sorry, I know you were not looking for advice in this thread, so perhaps I should have kept my mouth shut. Around here everyone, my self included, wants to spend everyone elses money, its too easy to do.Bob |
