| When is your system good enough-and why? When I can't afford anything better. | |
| Spare change on a speaker cabinet Canadian loonies would seem to be the answer. It works even better if they're cryo'd. | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. The worst room I ever heard had one 8' diagonal wall in the rear corner. It had two 300Hz nodes just in front and to the side of the listening position that were painful, even with music. I helped him get some materials for DIY tube and panel trap... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Acoustic treatment can help but don't expect miracles. Good start, BTW.These other frequencies can be harmonics or "half-harmonics" of the main frequencies. What I mean by the latter would be, for example, 100 and 150Hz. Start in the corners behin... | |
| Another room treatment convert Yup, those graphs are pretty much what I would expect. Even though that's only two corners of an entire room, you'll hear the difference easily. | |
| Another room treatment convert Thanks for the link about the superchunks. Somebody mentioned these before and I misunderstood the concept. Looks like a good, practical, broadband design. Might not absorb low enough for room standing waves, which are typically 30-90 Hz and nearl... | |
| Another room treatment convert Probably, most rooms and setups could be better with proper accoustic treatment. Forums like this spread the know. How ya gonna do the DIY bass traps? | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? Please, call an electrician before starting. | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? I'm assuming that you're in US/Canada, in which case there would be two hots at 120V each. These are out of phase and are cumulative to 240V, but they can NOT be combined together without a load. That would be a short.It can be cheated by putting ... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Drubin, it's probably because your source doubles output voltage into balanced. My CDP, for example, puts out 2.1V into RCA and 4.2V into XLR. You might be comparing to non-differential preamps. | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players I had no intention to belittle the effort or sincerity. Without disclosure of the rest of the system (better but impractical, would have been two or three different systems) and the participants in the test and some idea of their own systems to gu... | |
| How big a room for Dunlavy SC-V? I've had speakers as big as those in similar sized rooms and it's not optimal but it's not bad either. Some bass traps that can dig deep, like Realtraps, helps a lot. The problem is the same with most speakers, getting away from the walls and far ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Call me a skeptic, or whatever you wish, but the little hairs on the back of my neck tingle when something reads like an advertisement. | |
| Kappa 9. Parasound HCA-3500 WILL NOT power them http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1146682440&openusid&zzNgjockey&4&5#Ngjockey | |
| Kappa 9. Parasound HCA-3500 WILL NOT power them The midrange might not be blown. The domes clear up after being heated. In fact, if you CAREFULLY use a hair dryer on them, the yellow will disappear. I think I origionally recommended a pair of Carver Pro 1600's and I'll stick to that.You're sing... |
