| BEST HORN LOUDSPEAKER TO PURCHASE Something like these: They are tri-amped so you can pretty much adjust things for any chosen volume level without resorting to eq. Pick your volume level and adjust things from there. Best of all, well within your budget, even with the crossove... | |
| Is Budget Audiophile an oxymoron? In general response to the question, No, if you build your own and have the where with all, time, and patience to perfect it. My speakers cost ~$1,500 to build using quality parts from Craigs List and eBay and with an Oppo-95 and Yamaha RX-Z9 pur... | |
| A new measurement specification for speakers? So if the speaker is shown to be "bass heavy" at 1 watt, and this makes it sound "good to the ear" because it compensates for the F-M curve, and it is consistent to its frequency response across its power band, it will be "bass heavy," overpowerin... | |
| A new measurement specification for speakers? The difference is the way in which the mfg balanced their speaker and for what volume. For example, a speaker that is "bass-heavy" will sound fuller at lower volume (so would "open up" sooner?) because it is compensating for the F-M hearing loss.... | |

| Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house? Has to be written..., and accepted, first. I’ve done several articles for Kalmbach (re: Garden Railroading) and they can take almost a year depending on what they already have in the can. https://youtu.be/jQ6rcU1Vbwo | |
| Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house? Well, as I noted earlier, I asked the editor of Stereophile Magazine if they would like to review my low cost system with Craigs List/eBay parts-sourced speakers and included a YouTube clip. They thought enough of it as to ask me to write an arti... | |
| Cheap crimp connection vs. Solder All of my audio connections past the amplifier use 5% silver solder. Silver solder is harder to work with and prone to cold joints so more care must be exercised in it’s use, especially when soldering to enameled single strand (e.g., a big choke)... | |
| San Diego Audiophile group? I had joined the LA-OC group, but quit when they wouldn’t let me post on their FB page. Seems like only the high paying manufacturers get to post. They also don't make it easy for individual get togethers. I was told to come to the meetings (h... | |
| What’s your favorite SOUND? https://youtu.be/-0kcet4aPpQ | |
| Do You Ever Get Glare/Raspy Sound on High Pitched Female Vocal Lines? The CD arrived today and I am not hearing a raspy texture at the noted point, just a bit of emphasis in the recording. She has a bit of "scratch" in her natural voice and sounds like a "little girl" in that cut. Personally, I prefer Eva. | |
| Steppenwolf Ever really listen to all the layers of feedback in the beginning of Magic Carpet Ride? Gotta love it! Also love the way Goldie "slaps" the keys on the Hammond to get that distinctive sound. Nobody else does it quite like him. | |
| Do You Ever Get Glare/Raspy Sound on High Pitched Female Vocal Lines? In that case, they would have in all probability put it before the filter (cap/coil) so as not to affect the crossover slopes. | |
| Do You Ever Get Glare/Raspy Sound on High Pitched Female Vocal Lines? "Glare" and "Harshness" are forms of distortion if they are not actually intended for the media. For that matter, any change from the media is a "distortion" so it comes down to terms..., and picking your poison. BTW, you’ve demonstrated what I’... |
