| Studio Signal Flow advice 01 I'm using a custom 48 channel John Oram BEQ-PRO(over $30K, can send pics) and wouldn't think of feeding my audio through it. Regardless of how good your mixer might be, the more connections, cables, pieces of equipment(and their passive/active dev... | |
| Speaker out of service If the pop came from inside the speaker cabinet: you may well have blown up a crossover capacitor. I've replaced a lot of popped electrolytics over the years. Have all the drivers stopped working, or just the woofer, mid or tweet? If the speaker h... | |
| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours Punkuk- A little Comet w/Clorox on that Brillo Pad will keep the mold/mildew down as well. | |
| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours Hey Dick- kinda like this?: (http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/E/EnzymeKinetics.html) | |
| Bi-wired vs Single Termination I've read the same article a number of times. In fact: It inspired me to go with WireWorld Atlantis 5's for awhile. I now have the Eclipse 5's on my mains(I'm actively bi-amping with a TacT RCS 2.2XP). As inexpensive as the Home Depot extension co... | |
| question about the "analog sound" If you are satisfied with the sound/dynamics of your digital front end: Try auditioning a few different phono pre-amps and cartridges with higher outputs. That's one of the most critical relationships in an analog system(that and cartridge complia... | |
| 1, 2 , 3 , 4, etc of speaker mod / upgrade I built a pair of LS3/5A's back in 1980, using the KEF drivers(I'm guessing you meant B110), Marshall's orginal crossover design and then a pair of actively bi-amped subs(loaded with the B139's). The reason I mention this: The drivers are excellen... | |
| 1, 2 , 3 , 4, etc of speaker mod / upgrade Good info above. Keep in mind that some of these changes will produce strange effects at first(especially the caps). Many people will dispute the truth of "burn-in" for components and wire. To those that can hear it: No explanation is necessary. F... | |
| Tube change You don't absolutely have to, but- It won't hurt. I always turn my bias pot down 50% before changing power tubes, then bring the bias up to spec slowly as things warm up(I wait 1/2hr at least for the voltages to settle), then keep an eye on my amm... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's Here's a suggestion: Contact B&W yourself, and ask their opinion. You'll find that they recommend the owner passively bi-amp when the means are available. | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's Absolutely- Your speaker's crossovers are designed with bi-amping or bi-wiring in mind. Bi-amping affords a much greater sonic gain. Just use two pair of identical, high quality cables for the best benefit. A site with some more insights: (http://... | |
| Kimber Timbre vs Hero The Kimber Kables that I've used (Hero, Silver Streak, KCAG, and now KS 1130s) have all been transparent, open and accurate. Each step up in the product line just delivered an increase of the same great attributes. They didn't offer the Timbre whe... | |
| Kimber 4TC Bi-Wire Question In agreement with Nick and Jbaxley: IF the system is designed for bi-wiring. | |
| first tube rolling: expert advice needed - take 2 Hello Karelfd- It certainly sounds like "tube rush" the way you describe it. The least little noise put out by a tube in your pre-amp will be magnified exponentially. Contact Kevin here: (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/view_category.asp?cat=44) He ve... | |
