| zobal networks ? Zobel networks can be used in several different ways. I assume that you are talking about installing them in the speakers themselves in each section ( woofer, mid, tweeter, etc...) of the crossover network ?I have heard through the grapevine that ... | |
| Speaker placement Duke, do you know how to fix all of the problems associated with a port ? It's really quite simple and cost effective. Stuff a large, wadded up wool sock or old t-shirt into it and then sell it. Buy some speakers that are stuffed and sealed with a... | |
| Sonical differences I would think that you would tend to run into different types of resonances when changing orientation. Vertical orientation would tend to become more susceptible to air-born vibrations whereas horizontal would be more susceptible to the increased ... | |
| Power Conditioners From my limited experience with various PLC's, i think you notice the biggest difference when you take them OUT of the system. Many of the improvements are subtle and take some time to notice / get used to. When you remove them from the system, yo... | |
| Audio Cost Allocations Sheesh Glen, do we have to spell everything out for you ??? Cornfed's system is obviously 126% better than even a 100% system. Do the math : ) Sean> | |
| Players, transports, DACs ?? I agree with all of the statements above. Unfortunately, economics comes into play. Most "one boxes" are built to a price point that is typically a little lower than a seperate DAC and Transport of the same appr retail. The "player" will typically... | |
| best interconnects sub 100 Pick up some Belden 89248 & 89259 along with the RCA's of your choice. Then follow the directions on Jon Risch's website as to what to do. If you do your homework and shop around, you can build a KILLER 1 meter stereo interconnect for about $3... | |
| What would you do differently? Bob, In order to ease some of the clutter around your place, i'll come by and pick your "extra" stuff up. Glad to be of help and service to you... : ) Sean>PS Multiple systems can give you multiple headaches at times : ) | |
| More Power??? Yes, it is possible to wire multiple identical amps up together in parallel to achieve greater power output while driving the same load. This is done quite commonly in the RF field and requires impedance matching splitters and combiners.Yes, it is... | |
| Power Conditioner without grounding,does it work? The grunge has got to go SOMEWHERE. Rather than just shunting it to ground, it can be "absorbed" via a resistive trap. This requires the use of "good sized" resistors that may require heatsinking, depending on how much "grunge" is being absorbed /... | |
| B&K M200 Sonata Monoblocks vs. Monarchy SE-100 Delux If i remember correctly, the M-200's were capable of appr 75 amp peak output. This should make it a measurably beefier amp than the Monarchy, which probably sounds mellower and smoother overall. Depending on how tough the speakers are to drive and... | |
| Good inexpensive cartridge Sailor, what are you using for a phono stage ? I'm assuming that it is built into your preamp or receiver. If so, you will probably need some type of "higher output" cartridge like a moving magnet type. "For the record", most Shure's and lower pri... | |
| Speaker placement There is NO set formula that works for all speakers in every room. Due to differences in reflection points, reinforcement and cancellation nodes, radiation patterns, slight irregularities of room dimensions, etc... It is all a matter of trial and ... | |
| Monarchy SM-70 to Model 33 interconnect question If your happy with the Monarchy gear as a combo, why not trust the man that built / designed them to know what will work with them ??? I'm sure that CC has played with enough cables on his gear to know how they respond and what works best. Like an... | |
| what speakers do the best "disappearing act"?? I agree with a LOT of the above comments but would also add this to the conversation:Electronics / cabling have more to do with "spaciousness" and the "disappearing act" than you might think.I have a set of large 4 way / 5 driver towers that have ... |
