SCorpion Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 http://www.ambiophonics.org/Ambiofiles.htm this is a great little text to start with. it goes into a little bit of detail, but i like it because it introduces u to a bunch of concepts that can be researched in much greater depth.

Grumpy Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Scorpion, I have had a brief look through the link, but I'm a complete tech dummy and have no idea what I was reading. I would have commented sooner but I didn't want to sound negative or stupid. I'm sure I'll find something in that lot that I can make sense of, so I'll keep going back for a read.

Audis Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) I've made a couple of posts elsewhere that link to some useful sites, but I reckon this is the thread for them. They're written by people that really know what they're talking about (not like me, lol), are invariably great resources if you have the patience and above all, they're well written and presented. Apologies if you know about these sites, otherwise, fill ya boots; Speakers. 5 pages of really meaty speaker design material from Siegfried Linkwitz (yup the one that the Linkwitz-Riley filter is named after); http://www.linkwitzlab.com/frontiers.htm. A modest man (check out his cv), his entire site is chock-full of useful audio stuff for diy audiofools. A Power amplifier design and diy advice from Professor W. Marshall Leach, Jr. Includes plans & resources for building a high-current, low TIM amp (I made one myself ages ago and, aside from frying a couple of output transistors when I was fooling with a woofer once, it's been rugged and dependable as well as sounding mighty fine). The design originated in the long lost "Audio" magazine from the US of A and has evidently undergone updates to make it more rugged and to incorporate modern devices; http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~mleach/lowtim/ All sorts of useful stuff from Keith Howard MSc, contributing editor to Stereophile magazine. I got on to EAC, (CD ripping software) via Keith's site and it works a treat (btw, read about the McLaren F1 and Ferrari F50 just for fun). http://www.audiosignal.co.uk/resindex.html diy Loudspeaker plans from John "Zaph" Krutke at http://www.zaphaudio.com/. Chock full of driver tests, etc. some of which are available here in oz. I especially like the look of these for those of us who share the a/v with the lounge room (wife's domain); http://www.zaphaudio.com/audio-speaker18.html. Drivers available locally from; http://darcheraudio.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=26. I'm going to get a bunch of these for my next speaker design. If they're as good as Zaph says.... Edited April 26, 2009 by Audis new links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawlu Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Hi All, I'm new to all this, but would appreciate any help or advice. I have a NAD 3240 PE with a pair of Advent Prodigy's hooked up to it. The NAD has allowance for 2 pairs of speakers. Is there any way I can hook up a subwoofer to this setup, or is what I'm asking ridiculous? Over to you.

dr_strange_hifi Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 From the man with the magic and an analog wizard, http://rupertneve.com/company/notes/ Sadly it is hard to find any of the Sound Studio note by Dr. John Watkinson out there. They were really good technical works. I have some photocopies if anyone is really really interested. Oh and I almost forgot again. http://www.audiodesignline.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungbean66 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 https://linearaudio.nl/cyril-batemans-capacitor-sound-articles Really good articles on capacitors. Explains why some caps sound significantly different to the next. Or why caps from the same batch can sound different. Goes through measurements and lots of technical stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
