| speakers to replace infinity Qe Replace your emit if you can. These things blow all the time so Infinity may be out, I haven't checked in a long time. The Triangle line has a nice tweeter but they have changed it from the time I got mine but I,m sure it's just a little less brig... | |
| Hi-Fi Lingo and What we should be listening for It's hard to describe in words what we are hearing. I've changed my taste over time. For me musical means pleasing to my ear but not maybe exactly the exact true tone that was recorded. Small colorations if you insist. This is what I like but I kn... | |
| The importance and effect to and above 20kHz... It's not important to me at all in my right ear, I can't hear the crickets in that ear anyway but if a system goes to 20khz and past it's a good indicator that the audible high frequency performance will be good. Systems that only claim 15 khz usu... | |
| Monster pwr conditioners----your thoughts? Who said it couldn't be repaired? The Monster customer service rep. and he was right, they sent me a new one. (I got the feeling this was a common problem) That's fine while it's under warranty, but a year from now, I'd be stuck with an un-repaira... | |
| Monster pwr conditioners----your thoughts? My unit fried and was replaced for free. I didn't like the fact that it couldn't be repaired. It was not put back in my system.Thanx,Russ | |

| Velodyne SMS-1 is outstanding Minus 3db,I listen in the near field and my chair is fixed in one position so I can't answer your question as far as it applies to the SMS-1 in my room, I just don't move around the room during critical listening. My guess is that it will sound ab... | |
| Velodyne SMS-1 is outstanding Kal,I'm no expert but a true null is a phase cancellation of the signal. That's where one wavelength in phase cancels another wavelength 180 degrees out of phase. Changing the volume will not eliminate this null. So the way you get rid of it is to... | |
| Velodyne SMS-1 is outstanding Kal,That's exactly right. If you have a null, no amount of boost is going to correct that but by changing the phase of one band you can shift the null point away from the measured position.Thanx,Russ | |
| Best Tweaks..... Velodyne SMS-1, no question about it.Thanx,Russ | |
| infinity reniassance 90 tweeks? HemiDakota,I found that a low line AudioQuest (the red one)cable was helpfull in smoothing out the EMIMs. Try it on your CD player first. After that a switch to tubes helps.Thanx,RussP.S. Do you really have a Hemi Dakota? I have an R/T. | |
| Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi? My systems are always mid-fi. My dream systems are real hi-fi. The last time I dreamed up a really good hi-fi system I was near $100,000 but what the heck you have to aspire to something. When I wake up I still like the system I have, it's very sa... | |
