| An audio component you just can't let go "Stasis" not "Status". Darned spell correct! | |
| An audio component you just can't let go ADS 200s: Historically, these little "studio monitors" represent the first legitimate mobile audio (car stereo) system ever assembled. They broke the "sound barrier" and took us from Clarion coaxials (yuk!) to true high fidelity in a car/truck/va... | |
| Burn Twetter Speaker @mswale " If the same tweeter keeps blowing there might be something wrong with the XO. " Agreed! Thus, my statement: "Just curious if it’s the same channel that’s failing?" Could be a number of technical issues, including the XO, amp, etc. | |
| Burn Twetter Speaker Hi, gio992. Just curious if it’s the same channel that’s failing? Not sure how relevant this is, but could open further (possibly relevant?) conversation. Speakers have voice coils that warm up when power is sent through them. Sort of like an el... | |
| 30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers? Short answer: If they’re being used as surrounds, I’d leave them alone and play them until the woofers fall out. Long(er) answer: I’ve been doing speaker mods for decades (including owning a speaker patent). Here’s some thoughts on the subject... | |
| Physical degradation of CD's On a related subject ... We service vintage audio gear and frequently have CD players presented with "can't read" error message of some sort. Typically, this is a combination of weak laser and slop in the sled assembly. Sometimes it's difficult ... | |
| The Great DAC Mystery R-2R DACS? I thought open reel tape decks were analog!!?? I don't get it. Guess I'll just jump back on that quilting forum. It's safer there. | |
| Is it possible to have too much/too many filters/tweaks? So many tweaks. So little time. I experimented with various hairstyles over the years, and their effect on sound quality. Shaggy hippy. Marine bootcamp. Full blown college professor (hair pulled back into a tight ponytail). I settled into the "as... | |
| Interaural Crosstalk And Loudspeaker Setup Interaural Crosstalk Any conversation involving someone between the ages of 13-19 years old? | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue A couple of thoughts here on "psychoacoustics": We are overlooking the aspect of NEGATIVE BIAS, whereas a proposed concept "pegs the needle on our BS meter" yet produced clearly audible benefits. I'm sure I'm not alone when mentally evaluating t... | |
| What is your top sexy song? "I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree" | |
| In the sand box I'd avoid quicksand at any cost. A few years ago my DAC was swallowed whole, never to be seen again. Tragically, this incident occurred in clear view of my grandkids. Counseling can get very expensive. | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone Depends on your music choices? Rock: Stone Acoustical Instruments: Wood | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? "where everything aspect of the sound is right apart from the treble: it is simply too high" There are a number of factors at play (literally) here: You’ve probably considered this already, but experiencing changes when speakers are moved about ... | |
| new member, some questions, need help please "Got into med school, married, children, mortgage, fast cars, fine wines" My hearing has been in a steady decline for quite some time. The stereo doesn’t quite provide the intimacy and emotional connection to the music of years past. But, my cars... |
