| Ever wanted to know, what your phono cartridge sounds like dead flat?? Interesting! He says it can get the frequency response very flat, at least relative to the test record. But then he says it can't help with the channel separation being no better than 30db. I wonder! The channel separation issue, if I understand ... | |
| Playing with two sets of speakers simultaneoulsy About 12 ft. Speakers about 10 ft apart from center to center roughly. Why do you ask? Sorry, I can’t remember now what I was thinking when I asked that. In any case I agree with raysmtb1 - more drivers more fun. The Maggies have some advantages i... | |
| Will Sasha II work in a 11.5 x 26 ft room A room like that might work better with the speakers centered on the long wall. While he was marketing Cello speakers, Mark Levinson discovered that he could get excellent sound at shows where he was stuck with a long skinny room by playing the ro... | |
| Playing with two sets of speakers simultaneoulsy How far away are the Magnepans and the Proacs from your listening position? | |
| Bass is clearer and more impactful when I stand vs. when I sit If you are using as subwoofer? Like millercarbon and mlsstl said, experimenting with the position of both your listening spot and the speakers is the key. If you are using a subwoofer you can also experiment with positioning it's height by putting... | |
| Converting two-car garage to listening room. What would you do? Non parallel sidewalls and a sloping ceiling helps to reduce what we at ASC call "head end ringing." With parallel sidewalls and floor and ceiling sound emitted sideways from the speakers gets trapped at the front of the room and relatively slowly... | |
| Bruce Edgar Sad to hear of his passing. I found his writings very enjoyable and helpful. He shared his knowledge freely and I am grateful. | |
| Companies that build listening rooms in your home I work at Acoustic Sciences Corp. and we do that sort of thing. | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? The sound is in the name. It’s like saying Linncoln log house. The 'n’s are smeared. If Linn just changed it’s name the smeared house sound would go away. | |
| How old are you? I'm 52, which is 22 years longer than I needed to have a fulfilled life according to my 30 year old mind. I guess that makes me 22 bonus years old! | |
| I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking? Gold dust can be used if you have some extra gold lying around. Make sure it's well sealed so it doesn't attract gold bugs. | |
| I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking? I've used kitty litter on some stands with very good results. The stands I had used thin aluminum tubes with glass plates on top and bottom. They had a distinctive ring to them when you tapped them and this came through when the speakers were play... | |
| Speakers sound brighter at evening / night? Here's the thing. Why are you unable to make the same allowance? Why are you incapable of imagining anyone else being able to do something, simply because you cannot? millercarbon, I know people can do things I can't do, and can hear things I c... | |
| Speakers sound brighter at evening / night? "What is it with this urge to explain away the things we hear? Not explain- explain away. The implication is you didn't really hear what you know perfectly darn well you did. It didn't really happen. You only think that it did. Poppycock! "millerc... | |
| Speakers sound brighter at evening / night? It just occurred to me how we could perhaps test this idea. I see a lot of youtube videos of people's high end systems playing. You get to hear their system, sort of. It's obviously a flawed method, but it can tell you some important things like ... |
