| Cats and audiophiles Mlq79...Since we are in the quotation business..."The trouble with a kitten is that, Eventually it becomes a cat".Ogden Nash. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Skrivis...If, as you say "a 1st-order x-over sums to a piece of wire" it must follow that a second order crossover, which amounts to two first order filters in series, is the sum of two pieces of wire.But I agree that digital crossovers can do won... | |
| Cats and audiophiles Why are audiophiles so involved with cats? In the real world dogs rule. | |
| Permanently sealing a vented subwoofer?? If you restrict airflow through the vent, but don't block it completely you will have a configuration that is sometimes good. The well regarded old Dynaco speakers were designed this way.If you want to experiment, try filling the vent with soda st... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Lrsky...OK, that makes sense. Previous comments suggested that cutting the metal for each speaker took 3 months, which, to anyone familiar with CNC, was obviously wrong. Thanks for clearing it up. | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Lrsky...Seriously, if it really takes three months to machine your chunk of aluminum you are not doing it right. Although you may not see a need to lower the price of your product, think of what it would do for your profit margin if you could cran... | |
| Using Y-adapter to duplicate preamplifier outputs Kr4...No Kal. The low impedance SS amp will draw more current from the preamp, but the voltage will be the same at both amp inputs. If you doubt this, make some measurements. The loading of the preamp will be the same regardleass of whether the po... | |
| I thought you might get a good chuckle over this Jea48...All "Hi Fi" pickups were magnetic. Far and away the most widely used was the GE pickup, which had both a 33 (microgroove") and a 78 stylus which could be rotated into use by a knob on the top. I think that frequency response was OK, 20 to ... | |
| I thought you might get a good chuckle over this The "Rolloff at 10K" does not mean that there is no HF on playback. The record equalization scheme (when the record is cut), attenuates LF and boosts HF. When the record is played, LF needs to be boosted, and HF needs to be attenuated. At one time... | |
| Traps vs Equalizer Dirtyragamuffin...Ideally the room dimensions and shape and decorations can be designed as an ideal listening room. Rives audio provides info on how to do this.Unfortunately most of us live in houses that serve other purposes than audio, and are a... | |
| Traps vs Equalizer Dirtyragamuffin...The problem is that unless you use earphones, or listen with the same speakers and room as the engineer did you don't hear what he did. | |
| Traps vs Equalizer Lawdog_949...There are no pots in a Behringer DEQ2496. | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Marakanetz...Actually, marble isn't good...it rings. It looks nice. A layered construction, for example using styrofoam and sheetrock, is pretty good. There is also a material, the name of which escapes me, which is like styrofoam but with the pla... | |
| Traps vs Equalizer Rives audio, who are experts at this business, say that room treatments are effective for high frequency problems (350 Hz and up), but low frequency problems need active equalization, and they sell a highly regarded equalizer to do the job. Not ch... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow We can debate the veracity of some claims made for DK stuff, but one claim, that it takes three months to machine one enclosure, is absurd. An automated machining facility such as the reviewer cites, ought to be able to knock off several per day, ... |
