One channel quiet and muffled

I think johnsonad mentionned something like a "LPad" for a similar problem. Can I get info on this mythical beast ? (sorry for spamming)
 
People here are probably tired of me recommending them, but I've had good success with these in other applications. Don't go with less than 12 dB.

Best regards,

what resistor values are adapted to the bee ? I'll build them around a cable! or would it be more convenient to solder them directly before the RCA output inside the bee ??

i was thinking of a 10k/3.3k for 12db att
 
10K/3.3K is a great place to start.  These are best soldered into your amplifier, or at the amplifier end of your interconnects.  (Remember - we want the BeePre driving the cable/amp, not the L-pad)

 
This reminds me of an idea that I had quite some time ago. Since a soldered connection is usually the best, I thought of taking one end of an interconnect apart, and then soldering it to the output of the pre-amp. Of course, you will always be stuck with the chosen length of that interconnect.
 
I do that all the time. I used to worry 'what if the cable isn't long enough' but Duh, make it the right length or unsolder it and put in a new one...John

Hmmm, maybe the next step is power cords permanently mounted the equipment. Pretty big step, but I bet we can sell it....again.
 
the davis speaker is the one used in the MV One. A specialized shop in paris sources it, and gives away for free the full MV One schematic that Davis has chosen to give them with ok to distribute. I just built them over the last two weeks, my very first homebuilt speakers (and 2nd Hifi DIY experience after the Bee....). Cost me 2000 euros of drivers, and 200 bucks of assorted wood, glue, laquer.... the MV One retails for 8000, so I guess its a good deal.

sound is gorgeous, and its the first time Ive gotten away from panels in the last 10 years (maggies for 9 years, and last year with 3 different ML i didn't warm to). the speaker is direct connect to the amp, no filter, no nothing. fluild music, warm and musical mid range, almost as good as maggies, no sibilence in the highs that go waaaay up wthout being metallic. Lows, cant say as I have no good amp, cf rest of my post. By the way, the LPad did not do it. i had to go up to -20db to get the noise out, but at that level, no dynamics left. with the Quad, noise withstanding, I'd say very good lows down to 100, a bit less under. Very listenable, like my first 1.6's.

at the audioporn dealer that made me choose that model, thunderous lows i'll be trying to get.

I'd really love to hear what you guys use for amps.
 
specs on the 20DE8 (in french, but the curves are universal)

by the way, gave back my son's parasound and my dad's quad, and got myself a nice CODA S12...

more will follow (i started, talking about it in the Davis thread Doc created), but I integrated it with a BW sub and a DSpeaker DSP for room acoustic correction in the very bottom. BLISSSSSSS

(sorry for yelling my enthousiasm).

and i'll roll a few 300Bs for good measure (not thrilled with the EH that shipped with the pre, a bit too microphonic for my taste). I got some shuagang 300b-98Bs and a PSVANE Ti2 pairs on loan.
