Francois, ... connection : do you really use only ONE pair of cat5e per enclosure, that is ONE of these very thin copper wires for each terminal ? I thought...

Ok Bob, Thank You for these advices... I'll try with the thin wire as well ... From: rbrines@... To: brines_acoustics@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday,...
Jim, No I haven't. ALL new stuff gets a lot of hype, which sort of reflects on the "look what I just did" approach of the DIY world. However, let me say that...

Hi Bob et al, Today one of my stereo channels went dead. I'm suspecting the F200A driver on the left side was blown somehow. Before ordering a new pair of...
Paul and all, Paul had sent me a private email that duplicates his post here. I answered that email privately before I saw this one -- I get the daily synopsis...

Thanks Bob for giving me step by step instructions how to make sure it's the driver that died. After I found out, I called Madisound and was told I could send...
As you may know, for my personal use, I use a computer front end to a DAC then then to the amp. I have removed the passive filters from my speakers and do the...

Bob, Thanks a lot for sharing a way to digitally EQ the drivers in place of the passive filters. Like you I also rip my CDs onto HDs in WAV and FLAC formats....
Paul, I don't know! I took a cursory look at the Squeezbox user guide and didn't see anything. Digital EQ is so important that I would think the either...

Hi Bob, I am eventually through with the enclsure. It took me quite some time as I chose to paint them with ship acrylic-two component paint, sprayed with a...

Francois, ... as I chose to paint them with ship acrylic-two component paint, sprayed with a compressor and gun. This is a very difficult and long job if you ...
Hi Bob, Are 4" not 102mm instead of 76.8 (which must be +/- 3") ?! As far as paint finish is concerned, I am far from an auto body finish... This would need...
Hi Bob, I tried today to tune the LT-2000, after having put the filters, and I was very much surprised to be unable to find the right length... I can't hear...
Hi Bob, LT-2000 + fostex 207 seems to be very, very happy with a small class T-amp (Trends). It sounds even better than with my Harman Kardon 970, the...

Francois, If you are listening to single sine wave tones, it is unlikely that you will hear a difference. Also, the voltage across the cables will be a ...
Francois, I love T-amps. The sound is clean and honest. The 5 or so watts you get from these small T-amps is more than enough to driver the FE207E's into ...
Hi Bob, Yes the filter is in (2mH + 7ohm), as well as the zobel (3µF + 15 ohm). I'm listening at the LT-2000's right now. A real pleasure with de class-D....
Hi Bob, Thanks a lot for helping me customize the new drivers so that they will fit in the FTA-2000 enclosures. Drilled a 0.25" bit through the holes and it...
Hi Bob, As I do not have at hand a resistor for the filter at this time, so I tried stuffing more fiberglass in the driver compartment. Slight improvement as...
Like many other small features of my speakers, the driver mounting method has evolved. Originally, all of the Fostex drivers were mounted with the screws...
Paul, No problem. I looks like Madisound sent you a new driver, or at least a rebuild with a different frame. Perhaps someone in the future is going to get a...
Hey I just completed a pair of your floor standing speakers with the Fostex drivers. They look great. They have not had much break in so the're a little thin....

Robert, If you don't have BSC filters installed, your speakers will sound thin. I keep playing with component values. Different setups sound different. At a...
Francois, ... Over stuffing the pipe will definitely affect the high end. You want to put only enough stuffing behind the driver to prevent reflections back ...
Hi Bob, I eventuelly did settle for a 4" + epsilon long port pipe, no proof that it's the best, but it works nice as far as low freqs are concerned. Beside...
Bob, Since their arrival on October 2nd I played music on the new speaker drivers a few hours every day. For the first 2-3 days, they sounded pathetic, not...
Bob, I did some interesting trials today, playing music in FLAC format through Foobar2000, its internal Eq and an external DAC. This trial shows at least that...
Francois, I got a message behind here, so I combined the two and will answer the questions top to bottom. ... through Foobar2000, its internal Eq and an...
Thank you Bob, for this extensive answer ! All the trials with foobar have been done with the zobel and a shunt over the BSC. I still have to try without the...
