| Good automatic TT's I have a 1980 vintage Sony PS-X800, which is linear tracking with biotracer (servo controlled) arm, and it works to perfection, audiowise and functionally. The X800 is rare and expensive used, but similar Sony linear tracking tables without the bi... | |
| Plasma TVs and center channel speakers Just an idea, but a plasma display is a big flat sheet of glass that would reflect sound very well. Someone should make a compact audio driver designed to sit just below the screen and aimed back at the glass, not out at the audience. ("Boseian").... | |
| Vibration Problem Sounds like you need to relocate the player. Even a small change might make a big difference, as you might be located at a point of room resonance. Another thing you might try is to borrow a different player. Yours might not be up to snuff. All th... | |
| Vibration Problem How do you know you have a problem? | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Theaudiotweak...Have you measured, or even calculated, the motion. I am not sure that you are correct about that. But so what? Any rocking motion of a 100 pound object will be at a very low frequency. So the tweeter moves around a bit. Well, so do... | |
| Tweeters facing in or out ? The physical distance between woofer and tweeter causes the sonic axis of the speaker system to be angled. (The ubiquitous MTM driver array avoids this). So, by positioning the speakers at an angle, the (small) effect of having the tweeters inside... | |
| The Klipschorn Ecclectique...and there is nothing like a horn midrange/tweeter to reproduce a trumpet or trombone! | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs Magnepan MG-1 Gmood1...Of course you could biamp the Maggies, but your costs would include another power amp as well as the crossover. I don't know if the particular crossover you referenced is suitable. I would suggest the Audio Control Richter Scale, which gi... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Theaudiotweak...The natural period of swinging object (of any weight) on a chain as short as 40 inches is one second, not an audible frequency. The force exerted due to cone motion (its mass and air resistance) is a few ounces, and won't move a 10... | |
| The Klipschorn It depends on what kind of music you are playing. If it's a symphony orchestra going full bore, a pair of Klipshorns will make your little monitors (that image so perfectly) sound like a toy. | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs Magnepan MG-1 Gmood1...That is an interesting summary of all the Maggies. I note that the crossover of the MG1.6 is given as 600Hz acoustic. From an electrical point of view, the woofer is 3dB down at 180 Hz and the tweeter is 3dB down at 1800 Hz. The crossover... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs Magnepan MG-1 Gmood1...After some study I have settled on the following design.I will retain (at least for now) the original terminals and fuse holder.I will remove all the original crossover components.In the space of the original crossover, I will install the... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Zargon...I understand the problem. My speakers don't hang either, although I did try it for a while, pre-wife. But I have heard speakers set up this way in a very large room with cathedral ceiling, and it was superb. | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs Magnepan MG-1 Gmood1...I have been through the experience of burning up tweeter wires on my old original MG II, so I am happy to have the peace of mind afforded by the fuse.I do use the "tweeter attenuator" which is the same thing as the "padding resistor" that... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Zargon...When isolating, the heavier the better! Ceiling joists are similar to floor joists and can easily handle several hundred pounds. In your case I don't think that the fishing line would hack it, but decorative chain, rope, or wire would be ... |
