Elliott Sound Products

These articles will help to identify the how and why of many of your questions.


Current Projects:

1) Tuning Room
-DIY wall treatments
-DIY bass traps
-Using setup discs to optmize speaker/room interation
Refer to my reply in thread

2) DIY speaker cables (UBYTE-2)

3) DIY Interconnects (X-Cable)

4) Will be purchasing a balanced power unit for entire system. Tried PS Audio PP300; definite improvement BUT noisy fan cooling unit that negated any benefits the unit provided.

5) Continue Triathlon training for current race season.

6) And the most important, spend as much time with my 10 week old son as possible.


If anyone is interested in hearing updates or other links that I have found usefull, post a reply to this thread.

Enjoy.

regarding your other post:

I have a Stereophile Test CD with signals specifically designed to test speakers and rooms.

which disc is it that has these test tones on it? 1, 2 or 3?

Go here:

Scroll to the bottom where the test CDs are. Click on them, and you'll get further info. There are also links to all the pages in the CD booklet along the right margin, describing each track (there's about 30 tracks on each CD).

I have Test CDs 1 & 3. The 1st CD has test tones from 200 Hz down to 20 Hz—the region most affected by speaker placement and room dimensions.
The 3rd CD has test tones from 20 Hz - 20 KHz.

The test tones on these CDs are "warble tones", instead of straight sine-waves. They seem to be more useful in identifying room resonances than straight tones.
