    Replacement woofers for Bose 201 Series II

    The woofers were shot, but the tweeters are still good. What pair of woofers would be best replacements? Looking to not spend a whole huge amount of money, as I got these for free.

    Tube Headphone Amp, Bravo Audio V1

    That unit looks fantastic, the only issue is that it's just a little over my price range.

    Tube Headphone Amp, Bravo Audio V1

    According to my Realtek software, my audio card is this: Realtek Is this ok or would I be better off getting a USB DAC? Also, I was thinking of going with the Grado SR80i's, they seem to have favorable reviews.

    Tube Headphone Amp, Bravo Audio V1

    I was looking at this amp: Bravo Audio V1 Mini Valve Deluxe Class A Tube Headphone Ampl 310-354 I have a few questions, first off I would be using a laptop for the sound source. Would this be a major drawback (e.g. destroy the point of using a high-quality headphone amp)? Secondly, my price...

    Problems with a Marantz 6200

    Yes, that USB preamp looks like a much better deal, especially for archiving and playback with headphones. I'm sure that a hardware equalizer would be much better than a software equalizer anyways, even if I did find one.

    Problems with a Marantz 6200

    Thanks for the help! I'll definately get the preamp I mentioned earlier. Also, are there any good software RIAA equalizers? I plan on using this record player for archiving, and if I can just equalize in software, I'd rather do that (saves me money, for now at least).

    Problems with a Marantz 6200

    (Please ignore my wide thumbs, it's genetic :p) I can't seem to find online if it's a moving magnet or not.

    Problems with a Marantz 6200

    I'm almost absolutely sure it's a less expensive cartridge, here's the best picture I could get of it: http://i50.tinypic.com/2h57cc0.jpg

    Complete "The Swing Era" Collection of LPs.

    I recently inherited a large collection of Time/Life LPs, "The Swing Era" More info here: Time-Life Album Discography, Part 4 I plan to rip them to .flac format, which is going to be quite a large task (33 records in total :eek:). What software/plugins does Audioholics reccomend for...

    Problems with a Marantz 6200

    Thank you! That completely makes sense. I was looking at the "Esoteric Sounds Rek-O-Kut Professional Phono Preamp MKII" but how do I tell if my cartridge is the moving magnet type? I know that the needle was replaced about 3 years ago, so it's not stock.

    7.2 to 9.2, almost done

    Ah, that makes sense.

    Problems with a Marantz 6200

    The issue is, there seems to be little to no sound going to the subwoofer. The sound is very "treble-y". I'm not very experienced working with turntables, so I'm not sure where to start. Any suggestions?

    7.2 to 9.2, almost done

    That looks like a killer setup, but doesn't a subwoofer in a corner = bad news? That's what it looks like you have set up in the first pic.

    Quick question about crossovers

    Alright then.

    Quick question about crossovers

    Well, it's for a guitar amp, so I'm pretty sure I don't need much below 200hz. The second picture is of the woofer and the tweeter, the woofer by itself sharply drops off at about 1.2khz.

    Quick question about crossovers

    Borrowed a higher quality microphone from my dad and took some measurements. I'm running these without any crossovers. Just the tweeter: The tweeters and the woofers:

    Quick question about crossovers

    Completely true, and I don't have a very accurate microphone (a rockband mic and my laptop mic). Someday I want to get a real measurement mic and mess around with drivers and cabinet + crossover design.

    Quick question about crossovers

    I don't have the specs or acoustic response of the driver I'm pairing it with (it's a small center channel), I picked it up at a garage sale, it was brand-new and still in the package. It looks almost exactly like those really cheap center channels you find of Ebay, I just wanted to make...

    Quick question about crossovers

    Is this accurate information? Piezo Tweeter Crossovers | J Risch I suppose it makes sense that normal crossovers aren't applicable for piezo tweeters, because of their extremely high ohm ratings. I just was hoping there was something I could to to increase the sound quality, even by a little...
