MicroMara Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 1 minute ago, CCG said: BTW. I'm getting more than RF noise in my system. I been using fans on tube amp for a very long time and this is the first time I heard it that's why my recording has a hiss sound in the background. My amp still has power backs up current after when you shut it off for a minute due to the big capacitors. When I switched the fan off lastly, I heard a clock sound on both fans.. 👿 😂 do they get such hot that you need two fans to cool them down ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dire Straits was very nice to listen to over m headphones . You have several Eq´s in your gear , are they used for room correction ? or is the recorded sound image completely linear mode ? In this demo I'm using it. I will make another one this weekend without it. I'm trying to scoop the midrange down a bit. When I hit the bypass, it sounds pretty close to the same with a controlled midrange. But my EQ seup doesnt work well on re-masterd copies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Another thing that you may consider to think about ..Your KG 3,5 standing direktly with the cabinet rear side on the backwalls in your listenig space , did you ever changed that , did you toe in your speaker in direction to your listening position as well ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a force of habit and started using fans back 1986 when I was still using a dynaco amp. Since then, every tube amp I own, I put one in it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in the back wall. and also I havent position the speaker yet too. Looking from the picture, the left side with thew back wall has more bass than the right side which you're 100% right. A week ago, I switched the speakers from left to right and same effect.. I'll move the whole system to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the first time I've seen one. Very nice and I'll take your word for it that it sound excellent. Does your preamp has "2" tape in / tape out?

Having 2 tape monitor settings is really important in my system setup because I use several recorders. Especially now the new released albums in the US is not as great sounding as it was back in the 60's to the late 80's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need your experience and advise in our little project. This is going to be the very last change and in future. My final change is replacing the 8 inch woofer to a paper cone speaker. I just like the sound of the paper that's all. This speaker below is just an example and I was curious about this and you can read all the specs. Do you think I should try that? PS: The input sensitivity of this speaker is 91db vs our cabinet is 94db Bu I have an Lpad circuit and I can balance it. Thanks you.

CCG Full-Range 8" Speaker Pioneer Type B20FU20-51FW You can´t use this chassis. It is a full-range chassis with an FQ from 39 Hz > 16 KHz. A full-range loudspeaker driver is defined as one that reproduces as much of the audible frequency range as possible, within the limits imposed by the physical constraints of a particular design. The frequency range of these drivers is maximized by, among other things, the use of a whizzer cone. Depending on the manufacturer, these drivers have a frequency response from about 40 Hz to 20 KHz. But you can use an 8 Ohm Dayton Audio RS225P-8A 8" Reference Paper Woofer , but they have 6 screw holes & the originals only have 4 , you may screw new 2 holes into the cabinet . They cost approx. $ 70 each . Here´s the link https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/1420/rs225p-8a-8-reference-paper-woofer-8-ohm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on my quest I should be looking for a "woofer speaker" not "mid-bass speakers" if I'm correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crossover frequency of the KG 3.5 is 1,800 Hz, the Dayton has a frequency response of 7 KHz to 30 Hz and fits perfectly into the cabinet volume of about 70 liters of the KG 3.5 It is a mid-woofer like the origin K 1002 K also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 If you gonna do that , it might be neccessary to change the coil in the low pass from 1.5 mH to approx 1.1 mH , but I´m not sure right now ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 My enthusiasm for the small KG 3.5 grows with every hour I can enjoy them, just wonderful speakers for their size, especially after re-capping , they sound just fantastically good 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCG Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 @MicroMara Great to hear. The Can believe this speaker sound so warm and clear combining with the horn gives you that right amount of classy sound even on small to big room. Cant wait to play it tomorrow for I'm off. Its great to listen to these home hifi stereo. The down side is, I cant stand listening to my car stereo anymore unless they bring back the original 1980's Alpine, Grundig, Blaupunkt, Fujitsu... The good news is the American made Rockford Fosgate amp is still in its old school formula and the price is in reach. Enjoy. I wanna give you an update on the new reel to reel that I got just waiting for the oil. I'll pot it in the proper threading later on. Take care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
