| Advice to Newbies @hilde45 I was assuming that a newbie has made the initial plunge and purchased a set of speakers. Then, after some time, starts longing for better sound. This is where the REW comes in. Before falling down the rabbit hole, make sure your current... | |
| Are all dBs created equal? @mceljo I am using a Hegel H390. I did have sibilance issues with the Focals. I had a few songs that were annoying and now when I play those songs it’s not there. I am happy about that! | |
| Are all dBs created equal? I am talking about dB measured at the listening position using the same method to measure with both sets of speakers. I believe @djones51 is correct in his smiley face theory. | |
| Are all dBs created equal? @russ69 A scale | |
| Are all dBs created equal? @djones51 My old speakers were Focal Aria 936. The new ones are Tyler Acoustics Highland H3.5. @mceljo the new speakers do present more bass. But, it is good bass. Not tubby. I did go from the focal tweeter, which I believe is aluminum, to a scan... | |

| Power Conditioning on the Cheap I have a PST-8 and a Green Wave dirty electricity filter. They work very well together. There is a video that demonstrates this on Youttube. They combo has made a dramatic difference in my system. The video also demonstrates that the PST-8D is not... | |
| Objective Opinion? I think I've found it! @hilde45 She has been here two years and has never reacted during the day until the day after installing the PST-8 and filter. | |
| Objective Opinion? I think I've found it! @tomcy6 Yes, the amp is plugged into the conditioner. It makes a clear difference. | |
| Objective Opinion? I think I've found it! @dekay It's a good thing their memories are short! | |
| Do you trust your system? I learned that I could trust my system when I listened to many ‘70s and ‘80s recordings and every time I put on Dire Straits or Steely Dan or even Midnight Oil I was astounded by the sound. Goose bumps for sure. It doesn’t stop me from listening t... | |
