| The Fine Art of Doing Nothing By Roger Skoff Thanks for the comments Bombaywalla. Although I'm not prepared to sell my speakers quite yet, I am trying to set up a home audition of the DEQX device. Coincidentally, the DEQX national sales rep and a retail dealer are located within 20+ mins fro... | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump @Moryoga ...check my posts above re my Classic TT upgrades which includes, in part, changing out the on/off bypass cap. Ok ... so the dumb stock bypass cap may not work 100% of the time for everyone. BFD.The fix requires a screwdriver to open up t... | |
| Where can I find a Benz lps cartridge for sale? Just a suggestion ... Lyra makes a very special cartridge. I own the Kleos. Very, very nice. Listing to Sarah Vaughn. What a voice. | |
| Sloped baffle @Roy: Gotcha. As you say, the Paradigm Sig 8 (v3) 20 ohm peak may be high because Paradigm uses a 3rd order x-over at the mid/tweeter driver x-over point. What's that? About 24 db/octave??? Practically a brick wall filter. Incidentally, it occurre... | |
| Sloped baffle Roy,I looked up Zobel circuits on Wiki, but the theory got beyond me. Can you please explain what a Zobel circuit does in the context of speakers.For example, my speakers have an impedance peak of 20 ohms at the mid/tweeter x-over point. Would a Z... | |
| The Fine Art of Doing Nothing By Roger Skoff Roxy54 ... of course I agree with you too. But Mr. Skoff also scoffs in general at using various artifacts that purport to only do good, but at no cost or adverse effect. this goes way beyond cables. If I was in start-over mode, I would like to se... | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump @Stan (Stringreen) -- does your Classic 3 motor get very warm to the touch? Been playing my TT. It occurs to me that the new 300 rpm motor gets pretty warm to the touch, actually quite warm. The old 600 rpm motor, while warm, did not get as warm a... | |
| Sloped baffle Roy, do you think my "un-tweak" re tipping my speakers back could have attenuated my speakers' time incoherency as I described above? Or is it just wishful hearing? | |
| Sloped baffle Here's a simple un-tweak that may have helped just a little tweak (pun)... dunno.For the longest time, I lifted the back of my speakers so they tilted forward. Here the old thought process: My listening position is below the level of the tweeters.... | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump Post Script to Stan (Stringreen): Stan, what are your thoughts if I paint my plinth with a shiny garnet black lacquer? It still won't be a Classic 3, but it may look like one. LOL BIF | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump VPI Tweak News: Just installed a 300 rpm motor and new larger on/off bypass cap. To be clear, the 300 rpm motor comes with a slightly larger sized cap than the 600 rpm motor. But I had to ask VPI to send me the larger on/off bypass cap. Absolutely... | |
| Sloped baffle Bombaywalla, not trying to be a troll here. I restated my DEQX point because I already have speakers. However, as Lewinskih01 kinda alluded to above, the device may not be perfect ... for all the reasons Roy mentioned, but it may get me to a much ... | |
| Sloped baffle Thanks Roy. I think I have the instinct, but not the brains for the math and physics. B'li neder (not a vow), I will teach myself the math and physics when I retire as Caeser's tax collector.So ... I'm all set up. Nice electronics, good music ... ... | |
| Sloped baffle Unsound, not sure I understand your question. You ask why the DEQX "system approach includes analog conversion rather than keeping the whole stream in the digital domain?" Perhaps ... it is because the device is inserted in between the source comp... | |
| Sloped baffle Unsound, are all of the companies listed in your last post still making time coherent speakers. Of course, Vandersteen, Thiel and GMA are obvious. Not sure about the others.Btw, been in contact with DEQX. Will try and arrange a home demo. If I can... |
