[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]For your rear chambers, as they will be adjustable, it would be smart to go with a max volume that is larger than the max you estimate to be necessary. [/quote] The size of rear chamber is something that dials in the compo...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] You might try the Foam Factory; they are easy to deal with, inexpensive, have online ordering, quick turn around and can ship anywhere.They are NOT a typical audiophile-oriented acoustic room treatment supplier. Never...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] The AK150 and 152 are not new creations dreamed up by Mike; they were made back in the day by Vitavox but nobody ever talks about them and I have never seen either. See the Unofficial Vitavox web site; AK150 = Catalog...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I don't have a problem with what Lamm has done in offering the ML3 (ignoring the price)... If I have a problem it is more related to how the product is being represented. Representations aside, depending on how it sounds,...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Could you clarify: Would you like to vent the rear chamber or increase its volume (or both)? This weekend I will try listening with the rear covers on the Lower-Mids slightly open... [/quote]

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] In the case of a normal ranch style home (one level, no basement) out in the burbs, the attic is wasted anyway; you could put it to use, and if necessary, modify the roof, letting the drivers live up under decorative ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] There should be no danger in running the S3s down to 500Hz; I am currently running a pair of S2s (same diaphragm as S3) down to 450Hz, 1st order, no problem.
The system is in a room that measures around 80m² with a 3m-h...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]What would be really interesting would be to compare the hard drive to the CDP, while feeding the signal of both into the USB DAC. Obviously, getting a USB signal out of the CDP would be the challenge.[/quote]I agree that ...

Is it possible that there are better and worse sounding versions of iTunes?Since 2004 I've been using iTunes together with a Mac computer and the very addictive Wavelength Cosecant DAC as the main source "component" in a system consisting of horns dr...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] When things are good (mind clear, etc), actively listening to music, giving my attention to music and nothing else, will result in a mental voyage through space and time that is every bit as engaging as the best film….[/q...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I am certain that the depth of such an experience .. is very dependant on the system+room; whether something in the system can bring about a more crystalline state of mind… I will be very curious to see how this 7th chann...

Mouth size is the one dimension I've struggled with most.As of the present time, I've deduced to use a mouth size that may prevent me from achieving the target frequency of 40Hz, and instead produce a frequency of about 55Hz or even 60Hz. I can...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Romy, you may be right in suggesting that I am "going a little crazy in there" (I consider this a compliment btw)... so for now I decided to try some locally sourced precision metal film resistors (Vishays are not that eas...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Color or opacity of the material in itself means nothing; it could very well be white, pink or have leopard spots (I'm betting you'd like that!), all independent of its physical characteristics. [/quote] Of cause the colo...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Yes, in a way you are correct; the wire is white but over time became sort of brown toward the socket; this is either from the metal contacts of the socket having oxidized in close proximity to the insulation, or simply fr...
