| Fixing your cable problems forever. I started from scratch after having sold all my stereo gear 20 years ago. It took a good two years to really learn speaker design, and I’m still just scratching the surface. But, for me, the process was as enjoyable as the end product. And hones... | |
| Fixing your cable problems forever. Two of the best things you can do to diy your speakers is download WinIsd and Passive Crossover Designer. They’re both free and an absolute necessity if you’re going to design something that will sound good. WinIsd models the frequency response ... | |
| Fixing your cable problems forever. I diy’d my speakers from scratch and I’m very satisfied with how they turned out, so diy’ing my speaker cables was a natural step. There’s a “White Lightning” design on the web that got a lot of attention some years ago- asymmetrical design (2 co... | |
| The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers I designed my speakers from the ground up. Took about 18 months from preliminary designs for the cabinet, identifying drivers, multiple crossover designs, etc. It can be a steep learning curve if you don’t go the kit route, but the forums listed... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Maybe I’m overthinking this- if one amp’s R and L channel play thru one speaker, and the other amp does the same thing thru the other speaker, do you get the same stereo separation as if you were using one amp? | |
| Nuforce STA200 Thanks MrD. With vertical bi-amping, what happens (if anything) to stereo imaging if both R and L channels are powering the drivers in one speaker? | |
| Nuforce STA200 Sort of a newbie question: I’m thinking of buying a second STA-200 in case I decide to add a second system to my house. In the meantime, is there a way to use both amps as monoblocks? I could rebuild the x-overs on my diy speakers to biwire and ... | |
| Nuforce STA200 The TA Premium PC came yesterday, quite an improvement over the less expensive TA PC that preceded it. I’m running AQ dbs Jaguar IC’s from my pre to the amp- I think that’s the next upgrade... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Haven’t had any issues with mine playing 4-6 hrs at a time, actually gets only mildly warm, but I’m running 8 Ohm speakers. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Has anyone switched out the PC on the STA200? I have a Transparent Audio Premium PC coming tomorrow- curious to see what other folks are using. | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? My NuForce sta-200 power amp that I got for $499. Stupid good for the money. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Streaming Tidal— Karrin Allyson, “Nature Boy” and “ Moanin” are standouts. She is just superb. Set up is NuForce STA-200, Luminous Audio Passive PreAmp and CEntrance DacMini. DIY WAW speakers and cables. | |
| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? The W3 series, both ferrite and neodymium play out to 20 kHz. The neo has a flatter frequency response, but they’re both very good drivers. Going back to the OP, I think one of the challenges ( at least for commercial production) with crossing s... | |
| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? Timlub- funny, I’m using the 3” TB W3-2141 for full range duties. The 535 Hz crossover gave the flattest response without breaking the bank in caps and coils. I can’t discern the crossover point when listening, and the speakers pretty much disap... | |
| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? Eric_squires—true, the diy community has been doing FAST (Full range Assisted Subwoofer Technology) or WAW ( Wide band Assisted Woofer) for some time now. My diy 2-way has a woofer that crosses over at 535 Hz to a Tang Band Full range driver loade... |
