| Ever hear the "Maggie Scream"? It's the amps, not the speakers. Sean> | |
| Super long speaker cables Boy, i had to open my big mouth on this one, didn't i??? After typing out several different responses, i find it very hard to cover all of the bases in a "somewhat" easy to follow along with manner. I kept having to go back and alter / add bits of... | |
| dbx Expnders - 3bx, 5bx "Pumping" or "breathing" is a sign of over-expansion i.e. the threshold for the peak unlimiter is set too low. As such, the expander is trying to expand peaks that aren't there, resulting in the audible noise and distortion. This is why Opalchip r... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 This is a very specialized amp that boasts an 80 ohm output impedance. In effect, the amp is designed to be "loaded down" by the loudspeakers, which results in a shifted tonal balance. This shift in tonal balance helps to compensate for the lack o... | |
| how did you find "the gon" When i first started logging onto the internet, i used to search for "audio components" via Alta Vista on a very regular basis. One day back in the summer of 1996, Audiogon showed up in the search results. At the time, the biggest audio forum and ... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Hassel: i've heard both brands of speakers, but never with anything remotely resembling similar electronics or in the same room. As such, i'm no help there. Sean> | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Talk about a coincidence. The speakers in my bedroom system i.e. the time aligned mini-monitors, are very similar to the little Sequerra Pyramids. As mentioned, these are supplemented by two down-firing subs. That system is actively crossed and mu... | |
| Speaker repair-need help Line: I can rattle off all kinds of reasons as to why the F's are ( theoretically ) technically superior to anything that Ohm makes today. I've covered some of that in previous posts pertaining to Ohm's and their Walsh series of products. The fact... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Opalchip: your comment of "the sound that I enjoy, which is very precise imaging with very minimal coloration" pretty much sums things up. That is, omni's / bipolar's / dipolar's, etc... are all going to produce an image that is more vague than a ... | |
| Roy from Green Mountain Audio on the Europas. According to what my Wholesale account sales rep told me at Parts Express, i was the first one to receive their 15" Titanic sub kit when it came out. It was not bad for the money, but can definitely benefit from some TLC during assembly. I posted ... | |
| Hand shaped single CD holder.Please,help to find. Kind of funny that you just posted this and Lngbruno's response. It's all in the timing i guess.I half-jokingly discussed something similar with my girlfriend the other night after coming back from a local record / cd shop. I told her that i wante... | |
| Can you use Philips SACD 1000 as a transport? OOPS!!! Thanks for the correction Alex. It's been over a year since i used my SACD 1000, hence my mistake above. I did have an optical cable hooked up to my 1000 and must have confused the fact that i was using this strictly for DD / DTS when watc... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Opalchip: A microphone picks up whatever is fed into it, both direct and reflected energy. It can't discern if the primary or reflected signal should should dominate as it can't differentiate between arrival times and their individual intensities.... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? The "Walsh Series" of Ohm loudspeakers are not omni-directional in any aspect of operation. This is specifically covered on their website. They simply present a diffuse presentation, which may confuse some folks into thinking that they are omni's ... | |
| Speaker design question-DIY/techies please help Glad i could help and hope this cleared things up a bit for you. If i can be of further assistance, throw up another post or drop me an email. Sean> |
