Re: Allison Four in da house

Little update Modified the crossover again, lowered the resistor to get a better match between the low n high frequencies - have put some ‘fill’ into the winglets space behind the tweeters to mimic a cube interior - these are really starting to shine- the sound stage for mid n bass is some of the be...

Re: Allison Four in da house

Cool. Any good? Initially dissappointing against what they were substituting I’ve taken them off the stands and found they don’t like spikes when sat atop my storage cubes- good old rubber washing machine feet. KISS- removed the filters, single cap and resistor for the tweeters and run the woofer- ...

Re: Allison Four in da house

Cool. Any good? Initially dissappointing compared to what they replaced- I’ve swapped the woofer for a doc mod and removed most of the filters Nva style They have livened up and now I’m beginning to enjoy them- positioning will be key- didn’t like stands or balanced on spikes so I’ve got them on th...

Speaker cables

As a diy fan (meddler) I often try to make IC, usb or speaker cables for a non Nva system I occasionally use. I have a couple of questions to ponder 1- why do you have to have the negative run the same cable as the positive run 2- what relays bass better- a thick copper cable or a thin silver alloy ...

Re: Antonio's 'back home' system

One speaker hum is unusual
I have had one speaker with a louder hum than the other related to poor plug in socket contacts- if I have a hum I always go to the power block then my turntable.
If it’s the speaker hope u have a warranty otherwise someone local to u (me) can open it if u are not confident

Re: Another DIY SS Amplifier with NVA Boards

Not quite the same but a different approach to you Mono blocks in mk1 chassis-remote 300va 30-0-30v to each board via separate rectifies and caps for input/output stages- caps are 2x63v 10000uf & 2x 6800uf each board. https://i.ibb.co/jRGWzBV/IMG-7236.jpg https://i.ibb.co/wS0kv4n/IMG-7191.jpg

Re: New recordings/CD's (or whatever) you are looking forward to hearing.

I am more worried about the dubious pressing quality of current vinyl editions. Agreed- I tend to be very selective about what I buy now- it’s a mine field- I have found if the original release was dubious the re-release is an improvement if the original artist is involved in the process I find I h...
