I made some interconnect changes a few weeks back... I am so glad I did. it made a big change in tone. I went from BBC Belden LC-1 shielded to Belden Furutech RCA Interconnects using Belden silver plated stranded copper. I love BBC, but this made a world of difference. I had been nearly completely missing from >10k Hz... since restored. I also picked up some LF below 35 Hz as an added bonus. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always interested in opinions on cables to see if they change the sound from the old ones. If there is no difference then that tells us something too.

Mine was measured... the sound was bothering me and I wasn't 100% sure so I measured and it confirmed I was missing the HF spectrum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think of it, maybe start a thread on what you did how the sound changed. @teaman made an interesting post on the Klipsch Owners FB page regarding the use of DIY cables using 999 silver wire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 those guys are brutal... thats asking for trouble. 😛 I made this video mainly to address the 9k Hz dip in the spectrum, but it clearly illustrates that adding these interconnects change the HF above 9k Hz. before the change it was completely rolled off above 10k Hz... the waterfall was completely black above that point. Sure it's not 100% accurate, but the device was exactly the same before and after the change... the pad is only measuring, not playing audio. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which speakers was the sound opened up? That's interesting to me that you could just listen and have a feeling or idea that there was something missing in the sound.

Schu Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I could hear it... or to be more accurate, not hear it. I went back and forth for some time ( a few months) not being completely sure... but after a while I said something was missing, let me measure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the red line is above the yellow. I sure can see the rolloff though. Are you sure the source material is playing content above 10K?

Schu Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 lol... that is the corrected plot. there is PLENTY of signal above 10k... it's easily seen on the waterfall in pink. Before, that area was nearly completely black. the red line is Max signal for this session. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

314carpenter Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 What I made today. Four additional 2' X 4' acoustic insulation panels. I am using Owens Corning 703, plywood rips for framing, and Guilford of Maine FR701 fabric. I flipped one around for you to see how I make the backsides and hardware. I needed additional panels to support the two speakers I installed this week in my dedicated room, which were placed in a Dolby Atmos configuration. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Every radiated bald head needs a cover. I know well by now, for the third time, that the head gets cold in the winter and blistered in the summer. The first two times I used ball caps and toboggans. I don't like ball caps. I don't like toboggans. I was in a western store a few weeks ago and the wife asked if I wanted to try on a cowboy hat. She had asked previous visits and I laughed and we left. This time I tried one on. Bought one. Never thought it would keep my head that warm and dry. I still laugh every time I pick it up. I don't know why. A hat just isn't me I thought. Then I figured if it brings a smile to my face it will put a smile on others faces. Like eating peanuts. Like speakers/audio. You just can't stop. Next I bought a Stetson 4X. Nice. Then a Stetson 6X. Nicer. My laughs previously were not because of the hats rather because I just couldn't see myself in a cowboy had. Then I did. I like them. They work well with my previously thought of as mere footwear Lucchesse's. And I've always had good luck buying from sellers in Texas/Colorado area. Beginning to need a cane. Got to get a western theme cane next. ;>). Edited February 23, 2019 by T2K correct spailling 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I surfed earlier with my coffee Eldon. There is some wild walking canes out there, more art than utility. I'll go with the $19.99 utility one probably. I don't expect I'll need it very long, running marathons in 3 months. Keith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
