Not as important, but still important. Also in my above example I'm talking independent from gain structure and headroom that is needed to allow clean manipulation of the audio. In this case i am talking about audio captured at optimal gain and with sufficient headroom, being played back with...

For the flac/MP3 comparison, that is exactly the type of music where you will not hear much difference at all, because that is all digitally synthesized music. Then, the bit where they say sample rate doesn't matter... and also that bit depth doesn't matter...     As part of my Studio Sound...

(SIGH) I decided to take this out today and try the above mentioned fix, which has brought the amp back to life. Kind of. The protection relay did not activate... the ac out of the transformer is 26.7v-0v-26.7v. by my knowledge, this should yield DC rail voltages of approx 33v-0v-(-33v) Some...

I too have had some excellent results with Rustoleum, for example restoring my headlights with the clear coat, painting some sealed and primed MDF Speakers. I've also had bad results with sprayon, (Because it was cheaper) which i used to do the DSTV dish after a full sand and spray primer, then...

Noise levels are pretty insignificant, you will hear it in the room that it shares a wall with, but not much else. Ours was about R17k installed in 2014.  :thumbs:

Thanks guys! has not been too easy, lots of cleaning and trial and error, but worth every second every time i turn the thing on!  :rubhands: A note on the bass drivers. They make tables roofs and doors rattle. This is while being driven at 3Wrms each. The whole speaker as a system is VERY...

CAD, We've been using a heat pump for just over a year, has cut the average electricity usage over a year in half (as measured 24/7 with an effergy engage power monitor) and it works great, we run from 5AM till 10AM, and again from 6PM till 11PM each day. the only extras are a geyser blanket...

@onyx, Thanks, they are seriously nice, my new favourites of the ones I own. I finally get the hype around ribbon tweeters. :groovy:

Pics: Stack as it stands: Speakers with their new surrounds:

UPDATE: Drivers are back!!!  :rubhands: I am actually very impressed with the overall sound that the system develops. It is full and powerful, and the bass extends right down without running out of power at all. Also, because the amp is set up as dual mono, the stereo separation and sound...

Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason. First pressing mint copy. Goose bumps every time :groovy: :2thumbs:

UPDATE: Speaker drivers have been dropped off at sonic speaker repairs in Randburg. Pricey, but i have seen the man's work and it is pretty impressive. Original EQ has been located, still need to collect sometime, perhaps when i fetch the drivers.  :rubhands: Tuner is working again, Next...
