| Total bass suck out at 40hz The only frequency response chart I could find for the NS-1000M inexplicably stopped at 200 Hz, but according to that chart the NS-1000M starts to roll off at approximately 630 Hz with 200 Hz being approximately 6db lower. According to Hifi News t... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Al was one of my beacons of light on this forum. I will miss him greatly.Thank you for your insightful and knowledgeable posts. | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world why doesn't Vandersteen or JL or REL and so on design their own swarm?You can build a Swarm/dba with those brands or any other brand for that matter. All you have to do is buy three of more and place them asymmetrically around your room. You can e... | |
| Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl I had a woofer pumping issue when playing vinyl a couple of years ago. The first thing I did was make sure the TT was as level as I could get it which helped a little bit. The other thing I did was place the TT on some anti-vibration pads like the... | |
| Rel vs the world I currently own and I am using a REL, Rythmik and SVS subs in my system. What would you like to know? | |
| Is Sub Gain Set&Forget Across Music Genres a Fallacy? Nothing wrong with your system. There is a huge amount of variation in how recordings are mixed and mastered. Multiple subs and room treatment will only help if you have low end booming issues. I have multiple subs in my system and constantly ha... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Delay and phase in reference to a subwoofer are the same thing. Delay in this instance is the more accurate description of what the control is performing.You have an unconventional listening space which may require an unconventional solution. Try ... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? Listen to Duke, he knows what he is talking about.Also, don't overlook room acoustics as others have said, they make a far larger impact on your sound than you might think.Here is a company that I believe Duke has recommended in the past that may ... | |
| Emotional rollercoaster I don't believe high end audio is a sham but it is very complex. The first question is, what is better sound? I'm guessing it means something different to each and everyone of us. If you can imagine your perfect audio system in your mind, what wou... | |
| Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance? Robert,I believe you are on the right track. You probably don't need a sub unless you are listening to EDM or at concert level volume. Focal recommends an amp up to 500 watts, so depending on how much bass you are looking for I would get an amp as... | |
| Speaker size and bass You could try tone control.I've heard great things about the Schiit Loki.It's fairly inexpensive and would cost you maybe $25 bucks to try it if you didn't like it.https://www.schiit.com/products/loki | |
| Blown driver Have blown several speakers in my day. IME reconing is far cheaper than a new speaker as long as there is a recone kit that fits your basket.If your other speakers sound OK then they are OK and no need to replace them.I suspect some type of electr... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner @restock if you are still around, I would love to hear your comparison of the Degritter to Clearaudio double matrix.Thanks | |
| Do we ask too much of our audio systems? I think that you can achieve a live sound experience with a home system and I don't believe you have to spend a fortune to do it.As with anything you do need the proper tools and don't forget how much your room affects your sound. | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Has anyone directly compared Rel offerings to JTR, PSA or RhythmikI have a REL S5/SHO and a Rythmik F12SE in my system. They both cycle low enough and are loud enough for my needs which is 2 ch. audio. The main difference between them is the notes... |
