| Source for schematics Maybe here or here. It doesn't seem very likely, but one can only try. Cheers! | |
| Any Warp correction LP services available ? There's also another product from Clearaudio -- probably selling at Clearaudio prices. | |
| tessitura? ASAIK tessitura is the range of sound (the pitch in a general way) of an instrument -- usually referred to in vocal -- as in, "the tessitura of the soprano...".For tubes, I dunno. What's the tessitura of a tube? A mezzosporano tube? A baritone tub... | |
| The Schroeder has arrived Is there a case for coming up with a TT's "compliance" figure and taking that into account? That would be acceptable for a suspended TT -- but rather nebulous in other cases I guess...:( OTOH, mass of the TT's moving parts probably play a role too... | |
| tweeters- metal or soft dome? As a general rule, metals will be more extended, subjectively offer more "detail" and will be "harsher". Soft domes are thought to be less agressive, the best not losing out on "detail". BUT, there's a number of variables that ultimately determine... | |
| The most placement forgiving planar speaker? One thing you can look at is the horizontal dispersion pattern. If it's smooth, you'll probably be able to place the spkrs reasonably easily. Speaking of which, I remember a test showing the Soundlabs had good dispersion characteristics... | |
| The ultimate integrated amp. What's the rest of the system (the part that's staying -- or "right-sized" as it were:))? | |
| Best caps for speaker crossover? Mundorf supreme /silver line. BUT, they are expensive and one MUST finalise the value required before purchasing. It's too expensive and not worth experimenting with. Also, the differences between say Mundorf and dynamicaps and some of the (v. goo... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Driver aligment isn;t easy to do well (wavelengths are so short up there). A Supravox 215 fron mounted on the baffle and a tweet back mounted with a makeshift waveguide, blended quite well at ~8-9kHz. All open baffle.bastanissells an open baffle k... | |
| Tchaikovsky symphony 5 favorite recording Klemperer/Philarmonia or Matacic/Czech Philarmonic. I prefer Klemperer.If you want a russian feel: Yevgeni Mravinski/Leningrad Symphony ORch. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Cdc: forget the perfect piston. It'd be nice to have -- but let's just dream for now:) An 8" driver has the advantage of being able to cope with mid & low-mid frequencies w/out extreme excursion. A smaller driver would be straining. OTOH, it W... | |
| Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue? I would take Onhwy61's advice seriously. Other than an overwhelming mid-upper register (say, ~2-6kHz) that is tiring, the physical malaise you experience shouldn't be there. UNLESS of course, you listen really loud (and 10-12 on the volume can be ... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? Thank you, Raul. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Cdc-- I only dimly remember the Jordan circuit, but it looked like a contour rather than BSC (it was across the driver -- but don't hold me on this!).Skrivis:Re: first order+ drivers. Why not use a wide-range drivers -- i.e. a 8" + supertweet, the... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? RAUL -- did you use the daisy-lazer kit for yr cdp? |
