| Resistor to tone down tweeter? Stupid question for you electronics boffins. on a guitar if you want to roll off the highs you use your tone knob which uses a capacitor fromt he tone pot to ground (I think). Why would this not work in this case. Suspect I'm missing something but... | |
| cable burning does beg the question of what that resistor is doing for you in the first place if you can smoke it and things sound fine. | |
| How do you send an internet stream into a hi fi? I use my PS3. works fine for the stuff you can stream. | |
| How many albums do you need ? The answer to the question of how many albums do you need is oddly the same as how many guitars do I need. Answer? Just one more! | |
| Useful Idiots I'd submit that there are way too many folks out there that couldn't find real life with a telescope. When Snooki has more clout in the world than you and everyone you know combined, the definition of real life gets pretty fuzzy! | |
| It Might Get Load - documentary I think the three were well chosen. Page representing the early "big rock", THe Edge as part of the middle and White as representing the latest rebirth. Notice how there is a rebirth every few years? At the end of the day you gotta make music no m... | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD curious. is poster saying that digital recordings were played and recorded on vinyl (ie. transfered to analog) or that the vinyl is pressed with the information in digital format? What am I missing? | |
| What makes a speaker too big for a given room? Seems to me that the point of the exercise is to maximize the enjoyment for your budget. If the system is too big physically that it pisses you off then clearly its too big. if the speakers are too big (performance wise) and still sound better the... | |
| PSB surround and center speakers. in this case If I were you (and I'm not so take this with a grain of salt) I would go for the less expensive surrounds (dont go crappy but no reason to go expensive) and have the center use the same drivers as the fronts. Usually that means the ma... | |
| PSB surround and center speakers. personally I'd next go for a sub and then surrounds. for those I'd go cheapest of your above mentioned choices. then I'd get a center If I thought I still needed it and for that I'd get one with a matching tweeter or better yet all drivers, to the... | |
| Budget Cables for Budget setup - pls advise blue jeans +1 but include their locking bananas. avoid the monster or rocketfish bananas from best buy or whatever. the BJ units are much more robust. I went 10 gauge as well and had no bend radius issues. I assumed that within reason bigger wire ... | |
| cd's/SACDS to test highs? if you can, try bluray options as well. lots of movies with very detailed sections. the first sherlock holmes leaps to mind with several sections of high jingley things and detailed sounds. | |
| Is a DAC still needed? I would suggest that its only a matter of time before the dac becomes the audio source and the cd player is a historical oddity like 8 tracks. not sure I see much logic in spending lots of money on a CD player. Course thats just me but I bet that ... | |
| Tweaking within the system if i understand correctly you also raised your sub by putting extra stuff under the feet that were not there before. wonder if the extra space for the passive radiator made a difference. | |
| Speakers to compliment McIntosh MC452 and MC 205 I heard some KEF reference units (the 201/2 as I recall) that sounded very good. seemed a good paring. |
