| Bass rant The laws of physics are strictly enforced. I tried every short cut that was offered before I ultimately wound up with 15 woofers in 5 cubic foot ported enclosures. This approach has provided me with a very realistic bass that reaches all the way d... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base I have an SL-1000 MK II. That's an SP-10 MK II in the original Technics obsidian base. What is wrong with it and what improvements would I be seeking by changing to slate or some other material? I have read threads like this often but have never y... | |
| Jeff Rowland Sound He's sweeping up and taking out the trash down at Soundings where Rod Tomson is working on the super master set and forget speaker density and retrieval system Mark V, Revision II. Dave'll be back soon. He's breaking in a new broom. Only 327 more ... | |
| Looking for monoblocks Budget is low by preference more than necessity. I'm not spending more than $1000 and would prefer even less. I'll probably buy used but I'm asking for suggestions as to what I should investigate.I have no idea about current requirements. It's a 1... | |
| Looking for monoblocks I'm sure. The original horn, driver, and passive crossover have been bypassed. The replacement horn, mounted on top of the cabinet extends south to 400 hz. if desired, so the woofer does not see anything above 500 hz. Original XO point was 800 hz.... | |
| Local dealer cuts store in half says audio is dead Thank God for Audiogon. At least here, you can "Let your fingers do the walking". Living where there are NO dealerships and outrageous shipping expenses, this website and its brotherhood is an oasis. THAT'S keeping 2 ch audio alive for me.Vonhakem... | |
| Local dealer cuts store in half says audio is dead Even though the corpse is rotting, many of us insist on prodding it and wondering if it is dead. | |
| Speakons anyone Seems to me nothing can beat just hard-wiring each amp to its assigned driver in a multi-amp system. I can see the argument for fewer wires and the convenience of connecting and disconnecting with a snap in plug, but a home system like mine is a s... | |
| Refrigerator noise Tvad - Your findings concerning Sub Zero warranty are consistent with the terms in my owner's manual.The big difference between a Sub Zero and more conventional products lies in the fact that the Sub will meet it's original specs long after most o... | |
| Refrigerator noise I had a Sub Zero 550, over/under refrigerator/freezer for 3 years in my previous home. It was wonderful but we sold it along with the house. When we bought this house, I purchased a 601R which is a refrigerator only unit. It's 20 cubic feet of ver... | |
| Looking for a Great Sounding Outdoor Speaker Why the potshot at Obama? I'm still in "wait and see" mode on the guy. He's only slightly more than 6 months into his Presidency and has not done anything damaging that I can point to. Most of his activity so far has come in the form of remedial e... | |
| Need Zu Definition Pro Subwoofer Array Amp for $1k I use a Drive Rack PA too. When I had my Def Pros I used a Rane. I think the dbx is far more versatile and easier to use. There is a huge learning curve but it offers near universal control for only about $400 from Amazon. I bought the dbx matchin... | |
| Horns and 2in Drivers B&C (Italian made) DCX 50 is a 50 mm or two inch compression driver. I use these with Bill Woods Acoustic Horn Company AH300 horns. Agree with Jsadurni -- nothing like it. Since I have been using these, conventional box speakers seem like toys. | |
| Need Zu Definition Pro Subwoofer Array Amp for $1k Mark - I am also a Zu Def Pro veteran. The Crown K-2 is what I used for my bottom end ultimately after employing Pass and Bryston. Use a dbx Drive Rack PA instead of the Rane and don't worry about the quality of cables for low frequency. True bala... | |
| Tired of HT If you value music more than sound effects, and it sounds like you do, then dispense with the entire HT hoax and apply your resources to a nice two channel music system. Home theater is car stereo brought indoors.Congratulations to you for recogni... |
