| Can someone guide me as to what Single driver ?? Darkmoebius: I would not doubt that the Hammer Dynamics system works reasonably well, as i've used the same basic 12" Eminence driver in several different yet similar PA installations. I've made mention of this Eminence driver a few times when tal... | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound I stumbled across a very curious phenomena pertaining to cable dielectric at work the other day. Nobody that i have discussed the matter with can explain what is happening, yet they have seen the very easily measured and duplicated results that i'... | |
| The WORST Components for Rock and Pop Music Xiekitchen: Most electrostatic speakers lack the dynamic output to sustain high spl's, let alone the bass that is needed to "drive" the music. On top of that, the way that most people build systems that are E-stat based may have something to do wi... | |
| Best way to connect 2 preamps to 1 power amp Davidcpl: I'm not aware of any "high quality" RCA / XLR based switchboxes on the market. As for your Lexicon meeting the above criteria, your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer and ask them if they see a problem with what you want to do... | |
| New room, very small .Speaker Placement??? Fiberglass will work best in the corners. Check over at AA pertaining to "quick & dirty" bass traps. Sean> | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? Spacing the cables further apart introduces a shift in both the nominal impedance of the cables and the tonal balance of the system. Obviously, most systems are not as "neutral" as we would like to think and / or some end users have very specific ... | |
| Best way to connect 2 preamps to 1 power amp You can NOT connect two preamps to a common power amp using "Y" cables or splitters. The preamp that you are using at the time will not only see the amp as the load, but also the other preamp that isn't being used. You will definitely hear the dif... | |
| The WORST Components for Rock and Pop Music Any component that sounds "lean" won't work too well for rock music. Sucks the "drive" and "energy" out of the rhythm section and kills the "growl" and "chunky" sound of the guitar. Having said that, the first brand of gear that came to my mind wa... | |
| recommendation for turntable vibration damping We had similar problems in my Father's house. I ended up using some cinder blocks on top of the soil as footers, four floor joist supports and the longest 4' x 4" that i could fit into the crawlspace. The 4 x 4 was used as a brace between the top ... | |
| Best Amp for my Pipedreams and ML 32 The biggest problems that i've seen with trying to run a tubed preamp with an SS power amp had to do with impedance mismatches. Due to the way that most gear is ( poorly ) designed, you have to factor in a HUGE impedance mismatch when going this r... | |
| a/b interconnect cable comparison single ended Altering the source and load impedances can vary the response that a cable would demonstrate under these test conditions. This is the same thing that happens when you change components i.e. the load and / or the source impedance is altered. As suc... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? That's a good question Unsound. Glad you thought of it : ) The Sig II's and the Classic's have different bass alignments. As such, they will not only sound different, but also load the amp differently. Both designs ( in stock form ) have a pronoun... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? D_Edwards: I have several pieces of audio gear that are 20+ years old that still measure within spec and sound quite good. Age has little to do with actual performance so long as the unit has been used on a regular basis and hasn't been thoroughly... | |
| a/b interconnect cable comparison single ended I discussed hooking cabling up to a distortion analyzer quite a while back. Some cables are far higher in distortion than others. John Curl has also discussed this over at AA. With that in mind, this type of test still doesn't simulate the way tha... | |
| a/b interconnect cable comparison single ended That's what i thought you meant Jim, but thanks for clarifying it. That would put the cables in series, but as we've discussed, it would be far faster and more convenient to do this than to have to manually connect / disconnect as needed when tryi... |
