| Does gauge of speaker cables matter? David, a simple rule of thumb is that doubling the size of the conductore takes you down three wire gauge sizes. In other words, two 16 gauge wires run in parallel = 13 gauge. In order to go measurably heavier than this, you would need four 16 gau... | |
| Internal Speaker Wiring ?? Hey Bob, not to change the thrust of this thread, but what Klipsch do you have ? I have a rather long list of mods that i've used on dozens of Klipsch speakers that many others have followed with great success. I know that at one point in time it ... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Thanks for the follow-up Redkiwi. I know others that use a similar approach as to what you do and they too are quite satisfied with it. While i have never ventured down that path myself, i might end up trying it soon enough. In terms of using the ... | |
| Floor Standing "Warm" Speaker Chalk up another vote for Vandy's. Since you didn't mention price range but did note the associated equipment, i'll leave you with the following comments. While the 2's basically fit your description ( except as noted in terms of efficiency ), i w... | |
| Internal Speaker Wiring ?? Albert's comments are not unique. Most current model speakers that are not "mass production scrap" are voiced using specific components. That includes the wiring. Altering the internal wiring can / does play with the end result of what you hear. T... | |
| High End and Classical Music I grew up listening to what is now referred to as "classic rock" courtesy of my Father and ended up getting into Punk during the first wave in 77. This turned into hardcore and then metal with all of its variations, etc... Getting back into "hi-en... | |
| Dissapating static electricity If you have a threaded rod rack, you can simply ground one of the rods and then touch it before any of your gear. If not, a simple piece of metal like a door handle or knob, etc.. could be attached to the side of the rack and grounded. It's visibi... | |
| Has anyone heard Dynaco tube CD player My brother has been looking for a Dynaco CD-V Pro for over two years now and we can't find one. I have also seen others post wanted ads for this specific model. As far as tubes in the Analog section of a CD player goes, they can make a WORLD of di... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Red, just to clarify something that i've been wondering, have you ever played with "mass loading" any of the equipment ALONG with the various types of isolation / damping type devices ? By this, i mean applying weight to the top of the component (... | |
| Biamplification in Mid-Fi? I'll be making a rather large purchase from Marchand very soon. I need several crossovers and was already planning on using his products. It's good to see others on this forum came to the same conclusions about his products that a few others that ... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion To add to the above novel, i hope that Redkiwi (or anyone else) does not think that i was attacking him in any way or take anything personal. I have greatly enjoyed many of the posts that he has made on this subject and tend to agree with many of ... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion I'll try to address both Dan and Jay's questions here as briefly and simply as possible while touching upon Redkiwi's comments. In terms of the MGD rack, i had originally added large "fender washers" between the locking nuts on both the top and bo... | |
| Pipedreams... Any thoughts? Yes, those are the "baby" Pipedreams at Holm. I thought they sounded pretty good when i listened to them. One thing that i did note was that the system was FAR superior with the Electrocompaniet CD player as a source instead of the Sony SCD-1. Muc... | |
| What to do? What to do? My suggestion is to look for something that is relatively efficient ( 90+ db's), has an impedance that is nominally 8 ohms and leans towards the "warm" side of neutral. All of your electronics and speaker cables are on the bright / lean side of ne... | |
| Biamplification in Mid-Fi? I agree with all of the above. Most speakers are "voiced" to sound and perform a certain way with their passive components ( i.e. "crossovers" & "wiring") taken into consideration in the initial design. Altering those parts or changing the slo... |
