| Blog: Upgrade Inductors with Care @carlsbad2, Hi, the waxed coil you linked to I have found great on tweeters, also the baked varnish coils are pretty good. Not yet tried the foils on the bass section, mainly because of price. When I made my own I used to dip them in warmed up ep... | |
| Blog: Upgrade Inductors with Care A word of caution about the blog linked to in the first post. I don't know who the author is, Squires claims he wrote it but I see Nigel Tufnel's name at the bottom of page. There is a lot of misinformation here that could lead someone astray, o... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Ok, understood. Perhaps next time you could provide more info about your existing room, you will receive more to the point help. I thought you mentioned including a sub. Just one sub will make a difference when space is limited and it does not n... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Your post above tells me a lot. "But if it's not feasible or economical to change the room, wouldn't that be a great reason for EQ." NO. You have $6000 available, spend some on room treatment which will prove to be your best investment and wi... | |
| Subwoofer @jpwarren58, One sub can be used but definitely needs variable phase if you are limited with placement options. SVS is a great choice because of the adjustments available. It has a simple download which means you can tune it in from the comfort ... | |

| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? Congratulations on the sailboat getaway. Preferably go for a sealed box design which will be much easier to accommodate. It is, on a boat, quite acceptable to lay the speaker over on its side and not concern yourself with imaging or soundstage. E... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? @avidlistener, good sensible post. @hartf36, cheers. My current speakers are rather ugly being large OB with a 15" driver and my wife loves them because of the sound. We spend many happy hours listening to a wide variety of music. Tonight we're ... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? If you can't hide or disguise them then feature them. Present your choice of speaker and challenge her decorative chops to integrate them into the decor. WAF??? WTF! | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. Start with the room. This defines what speakers you can fit and work with. How big is it? How is current damping? Can you treat it, etc... Once that is defined I suggest selecting a speaker as your choice will be a function of the room I'm... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, I added a 20AWG Ag to the 2 x 24AWG Ag and now have over 300 hours use and I feel the performance is now stable and probably will not improve further. The additional wire was twisted to follow the 2 thinner wires and then covered the... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @hilde45, I find Jay's reviews to be accurate based on what he's said about some of the cables in his list that I've heard. He's done similar with interconnects and same thing, accurate according to the few I've tried. The comments at the end of... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @hilde45, How are your DIY skills? I may have some exciting news but requires DIY. This link takes you to an interesting review of a bunch of great PCs : https://audiobacon.net/2019/08/17/27-audiophile-power-cables-reviewed/ Perhaps look for s... | |
| Frequency response measurement Hey OP, my advice is to not avoid but embrace the research, besides there is plenty of info especially with REW and if you visit "gearslutz" there is an REW dedicated forum where you can get all the help you need. The process is not difficult. ... |
