glazing your quadraspire
Posted by: gerni g. on 14 July 2003
hi,
had this strange idea some days ago. what would happen if you take three chromium steel balls about 1,2cm in diameter, 3 stainless steel lock nuts m10 and 2 glassplates each 10mm thick?
had all by hand.
and how would this change the sound of my quadraspire?
first i must say, my quadraspire was standard and is upgraded to a reference but without changing the rods. there is the drilled out veneer, the spacers, the al-spikes and the bog seats. i know that somethings missing to the real reference but it will quite come close. so far.
what i did was inspecting my friends fraim, messuring the distance where the balls are located. then marked the first glass plate and put the locknuts and balls into position.
some time ago i double glazed my soundframe which supports my poweramps. so here for my cd the same again.
now my cd has some killerbass. really enjoyable.
taking away the glass the sound gets more natural or how my friend describes it: "more timbre".
i highly recommend this to everyone missing the killerbass. try this first under your poweramps.
this will definitly leave more naturalness as going source first.
for me one rack can´t give true satisfaction.
going always for a combo.
first started with a quadraspire and reckognizing that there´s something missing.
the best was to put some mana under my poweramps. this was very good, leaving the frontend untouched.
but always had thoughts about giving a little more killerbass. the glass works fine and does exactly what i want.
if you don´t want to experiment this way try the following: for sources take a fraim, for preamps take a qs reference and for poweramps go for mana.
if you want to experiement further switch between all three for the sources.
happy listening,
