Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1

Lolligager, the word "swill" is defined as:

1. liquid or partly liquid food for animals, especially kitchen refuse given to swine; hogwash.
2. kitchen refuse in general; garbage.
3. any liquid mess, waste, or refuse; slop.
4. a deep draught of liquor.
5. contemptibly worthless utterance or writing; drivel.

In the self-deprecating context I used the word, it means that I like sonic slop. :-)

Don't know how to respond to that, other than to say that perhaps one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Now I intellectually understand the use of the word swill as you apply it to sound quality. But I would have to hear that which you call ''swill'' or ''sonic slop'' to really know what you mean. Who knows? Maybe I would like it too!
I wonder how my last post ended up on three times on this thread?

I own a pair and use them with the ARC 250 mono amps. They are NOT bright or harsh. The do tighten the image, improve the "focus" and do nothing negative whatsoever. As for Kal's comments, I have known Kal for 30 years and he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. You must have caught him on a bad day. I am surprised at his answer to you, since you were asking him about an ARC product.

I am very interested in this product. But I have not read anywhere what the ohms/resistance this will add/subtract to/from the speaker load with VB1 being added to speaker terminals in parallel. Does anyone know?

My 2c.

I have lived with the VB1 for a few months on Zu Omen + Zu Libtec + Krell KAV-300.

If you go to spatialcomputer dot com slash page9 slash page9 dot html you will see a graph with expected impedance modification due to VB1. Ok... what does that mean for the sound?

The VB1 does something. That much is clear. In this system (and might be particular to this system due to the unorthodox bandpass filter implementation?) the apparent effect is a reduction in overemphasis in the mid-high frequency (1 to 10kHz?). There is some ringing / sibilance / distortion / shout left behind, which spikes up at higher volume.

Removing VB1 - the overemphasis is back, but ringing / sibilance / shout is less obvious (not staring you in the face). No high volume funny business - what's there is there at low volume as well.

Right now I'm not convinced to prefer a tamer sound with shout to a more evenly distributed frequency layout with less localized apparent distortion.

But for $200 it was worth a shot. Might try them on my next speakers.
