SAM Sound Systems help !!!
« on: January 22, 2013, 10:54:00 AM »
First up , I know very little about speakers and how they work in regards to a pinball . ( In fact I know nothing about speakers full stop . )
I have read that the SAM system , whilest It has recorded sounds better , It doesn't reproduce It through Its speakers in stereo. They are sort of Mono . Am I off the money ?
And does a speaker upgrade introduce the magic of stereo ? If not  , how can I achieve stereo within the machine  itself without going external ?
Penny for your thoughts .

You can't make stereo from mono. The very word - 'stereo' - means two.

The same as you can't make cream from cow shit!

Forget it - appreciate the sound you have and devote your thoughts to polishing the playfield, swapping out worn rubbers etc

Couldv'e used that one a few months ago when a mate of mine had this bizarre idea of putting a crossover and tweeter into his Zac Time machine pin to "make the speech sound better or clearer"  @.@ @.@ took me ages to convince him it wouldn't help. told him it'd be the same result as putting an old 8 track cartridge player thru hi fi speakers and expecting it to sound good  ::)

You also can't polish a turd, but you can sprinkle glitter on it.
