| Why not the piano as a reference for bass Actually, no..., Ray played a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass with his left hand. He never played pedals. In several of their tracks, he is overdubbed by a bass guitar. https://youtu.be/Fiq9VDkGVnI | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! Tell it to the BBC. | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass I think that the "attack" has a lot to do with it. Whereas a bass is "plucked" by hand or played with a pick, a piano is struck with a felt-covered hammer and this presents a completely different "leading edge." | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! LS3/5a's. They are the "reference standard." | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? What would be ideal is if one were to listen at the same level that the engineer was listening at when he downmixed the track. Then one would be subject to the same F-M curve and perceive the bass and treble in a similar context. For some music,... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? On an Lpad, there are two floating wipers, but only one is shown in the schematics. We are using the other and it goes from ~11 to ~36 ohms before it opens completely. The circuit works best above ~18 ohms, hence R2, with ~20 ohms being near opt... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? How good are my crossovers? There are probably no others in the world that function as these do using these components and the parts selection has taken years of tweaking. Caps were mixed for there "particular sound" and multiple values were ... | |
| What is nearfield listening? If your computer has a monitor system, chances are that you are already engaged in nearfield listening whenever you hear something on it. | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? It is fair, I think, to say that our wallets dictate the composition of our systems. | |
| Quality answer to dangers of Tube amps running under no load Solid state amps can also do this. My Sunfire Signature sub is now not working because it powered up without a speaker connected. The amp had been separated from the speaker cabinet. My "Universal Switcher" unit (for use of comparing any two... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Actually, this is a very cool bass track that "stacks" an acoustic bass on an electric bass. https://youtu.be/oG6fayQBm9w | |
| Mixing Crossover Caps..., What Would You Do??? As noted, this is the conjugate cap and is used with a 5.8 mH choke to produce a 245 Hz crossover frequency for the JBL 2241H 18" woofer. | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? If one wanted to compare factory bi-amped speakers to the same speakers with passive crossovers, one need look no further than Altec. Just one example: | |
| What happened to Yamaha electronics? I have and use an RX-Z9 RECEIVER bought new for $4,050 in 2003, the first year they had a 10% off sale. This unit now has over 35,000 hours on it and still functions as new! I’ve actually worn out the first remote. The unit operates in Class A/... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? BTW, JBL does note the dynamic compression for a 2226H at 1.5 dB between 1 watt and 100 watts. The 2226H uses the vented gap technology, same as my 2241H, and JBL notes that this measure was instituted to reduce the power compression. "JBL intro... |
