| Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is? I have shown with the Paradisea at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and again at T.H.E Show in Las Vegas. I have no connection to MDHT Labs other than being a satisfied e-bay customer. But I'm also dealer, so my showing with something that I don't se... | |
| Soundwave properties, looking for answers. Stopping bass transmission is not easy. I presume you share a wall with your neighbor. Mechanical transmission through the wall is one route. If you share a heating or cooling system with your neighbor, acoustic transmission through the heating or... | |
| Wilson watt puppy 6 vs. Sophia? My personal preference is the Sophia, but I've owned neither.Duke | |
| Advantages of multiplying drivers? It's counter-intuitive, but two horizontally stacked drivers (playing the same signal) will have a narrower radiation pattern in the vertical plane than just one would. The designer can measure or fairly reliably calculate what the pattern will lo... | |
| Do dealers believe in their products? "Vocation kills avocation. It always happens. If the endless flow of product doesn't wear you down, the customers surely will. After a while it's all just business."That may be true in many or even most cases, but I think that "always" and "surely... | |
| Using two subs The advantage to using two subs is this: A single subwoofer will give you a unique pattern of reflection-related peaks and dips depending on where you place the sub and where the listening position is. These peaks and dips will be large enough and... | |
| One or two subwoofers? Hello Lavoy,If sound quality over a large listening area is your top priority, consider using two (or more) small subwoofers. This will not give you the loudest deepest possible bass for your dollar, but there are acoustic issues that can be addre... | |
| Do dealers believe in their products? I wouldn't be a dealer unless I could sell stuff I genuinely believe in. It's too darn much work and drudgery otherwise, and there are other industries where that much drudgery pays much better wages.Would you invest thousands of dollars of your o... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Well... it might depend on whether Duchess delivered it as a request, or an ultimatum. I don't take kindly to ultimatums, but then she's long since figured that out.Since I'm a home-based dealer, the message would also be "git up off yo' wuthless ... | |
| jm labs focal vs definitive technology These two speaker lines are quite different in philosophy and execution. Part of the journey of audio is coming to know yourself, and this is one of those times where "what do you like" looms larger than "which one is best". Let me ask you this: I... | |
| Can room treatment improve bass accuracy? I do not think the 5-sided box will work.The bass wavelengths are simply too long to "see" the box and be contained by it. For instance, at 40 Hz the wavelenghs are 28 feet long. Those wavelengths simply will not be significantly affected by featu... | |
| Upgrade entire system, speakers first Artch, thanks for the additional information. Okay this is going to sound completely nuts, but...I suggest you completely re-think your projected dollar allocation, and hold out for a pair of used Wilson Sophias. That's an excellent speaker, and W... | |
| Upgrade entire system, speakers first Artch, where are you located? What larger - presumably unaffordable - speakers have you heard that you do like?Have you considered just moving up the PSB line, or are you looking for something significantly different?Duke | |
| Upgrade entire system, speakers first Artch,You are now at a critical phase of your upgrade journey. This is where you will make the most sweeping decisions as to which direction to go in, and it is also where your experience is the least (not to say that you're inexperienced, but as ... | |
| Warner Imaging ER 300 MSE I used to be a Warner Imaging dealer, and used them with a Thor preamp also. That's a superb amplifier - one of the best-sounding solid state amps I ever had. I'll tell you a story about the amp.The designer Emil Rotar talked to me over the phone ... |
