| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... @rick_n I’ve got a nice one. Maybe too nice? Sometimes I wake up to silence after the spinning has long stopped...lol. | |
| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... @smaarch1 I had that problem until early this year. She wanted all my equipment out of the living room and luckily we have a couple of extra bedrooms. I sold the furniture in one and moved everything up. Ceiling panels were a big improvement. | |
| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... @smaarch1 I followed what they recommended but I could only afford to do it in stages. I ordered the final stage today. What I have received and installed so far sounds very good. I would highly recommend them! I have an updated picture in the vir... | |
| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... @hilde45 I have not tried other DAC’s other than the DAC’s in a couple of CD players I have owned. I have been told and I have read that the DAC in the Hegel H390 is very good and competes with some expensive models. For that reason, I haven’t bee... | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? @moonwatcher luckily I still have my hearing. I was recently tested and I am still hearing everything I should, we’ll I do as long as I keep my left ear clear of wax. I am about the same as you as far as gear cost, but then I have another 5K in r... | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? I envy those of you who have retired. I’ve got four years to go before I can listen guilt free. I work from home so the temptation to listen to an album is sometimes to much to ignore…lol. | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? I was supposed to receive a shipment of GIK Acoustics panels on Good Friday and I had trouble sleeping the night before. Then I only received half of what I was supposed to receive. That cast a pall over the weekend. Then I received an email from ... | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers I have a 55” in the middle of my speakers. I used to throw a blanket over it and then stack pillows in front of it. I found that that was too much. There was too much absorption. I took away the pillows and left the blanket. I’m in the Goldilocks ... | |
| What Is Most Important? That element for me is listening to songs that I’ve heard hundreds of times and hearing them for the first time. It doesn’t happen in every song, but there are some that make me take notice. Whoa wait a minute moments. I knew there were back up si... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @johnlnyc I choose to believe my ears for now. I may work on placement of speakers and room treatments sometime, to see what I get. What I hear will always take precedence over the graph. But, having said that, I have a tool to record how changes ... | |
| Turn down the Volume! @sns My favorite time to listen is at 1-2am with snow falling and at least 5" on the ground. Ambient noise is very low and everything sounds fantastic! | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @erik_squires I will be holding off trying to EQ to improve. I am going to try a few things with room treatment as soon as I can find some time. But, for now, I’m just going to enjoy the music! Thank you everyone for your input! | |
| Why do so many people have problems with bass? I read an article once that described why it is so hard to replicate sounds with speakers. They used the striker hitting a large bell as an example. Listen to the strike in person. Hear the sound resonating in the bell. The bell has a note, but th... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @theaudioamp the room has an area rug covering the entire floor. I have a tv and stand between the speakers and I cover them with dense foam to keep reflections from them to a minimum. I am going to run a test with no treatments and then add one t... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @larry5729 the system is a Hegel H390 integrated amp and an Audiolabs 6000 CDT Transport using the Hegel's internal DAC. The speakers are Tyler Acoustics Highland H3.5s rear ported three way speakers. The room is treated with 4" diffuser panels on... |
