| My battle with sibilance. I have a song that does this to me. Don’t Come Around Here No More. When Stevie Nicks says don’t it’s a very clicky sounding D. I can hear it on other systems, but mine seems to accentuate it. It’s hard to ignore. | |
| Fear of volume control I have found that listening at 80-85 dB is where I get everything from most recordings. I have a slip of paper in each of my albums that indicates what level on my amp makes the recording sound the best. Some are at 48 on my Hegel H390 and some ar... | |
| When Everything Comes Together @nonoise The pursuit of those Zen experiences is fun, actually having them is exhilarating! | |
| When Everything Comes Together @ shtinkydog I've had sessions like this happen at 1:00 in the morning or 2:00 in the afternoon. When it all comes together it is special. I have also had sessions that I have ended after a few songs because it just wasn't happening. | |
| When Everything Comes Together @douglas_schroederIt's interesting that you mentioned barometric pressure. Yesterday afternoon a cold front came through and I was on the cold side of the front when listening. Cool air and low humidity after a sultry afternoon. Maybe that affec... | |
| Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System? I do sit down to listen occasionally and the mojo just isn’t there. I listen to a song or two and I can tell that I’m just not feeling it. Sometimes it’s because it’s summer and there are so many other activities that I feel I should be doing and ... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon I’ve tried some of MCs tweaks, maybe not to the letter but in theory (Gaia instead of Townsend), and Schuman generators are examples of this. They have improved the performance of my system and I’m grateful for the advice. | |
| SLOT LOADING CD MECHANISMS - DO THE DAMAGE CD'S? I have had the 6000 CDT for about 6 months now and I love it. I have not noticed any scratches on the CDs. | |
| Any good high end shops in Indianapolis? Audio Solutions in Broad Ripple is awesome. Great people to work with. You can grab a beer at Conner’s across the street when you seal a deal….or go before if you need some lube to extricate the Benjamins from your wallet. | |
| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? Most of the music will be above the noise floor, so yes, in that regard you are right. You will not hear the fridge, air conditioner, etc….BUT, there will be passages that fall below the noise of those item and it will be masked. I want to hear al... | |
| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? Thank you everyone for your replies to this post. I was up at 1:30 this morning and sat down in my living room to see what I would get. The average was 32 dB. I thing all of the air conditioner units running in town are adding to the noise floor. ... | |
| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? @millercarbon That is good to hear. I may be pouring the walls to my addition to save me from buying lumber! | |
| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? @hilde45 Wow, 18! I haven't measured mine when there was snow on the ground or while it was snowing. I'm sure it makes a difference. I hear so much more detail and my sound stage is wider when my room is at 28 at 1:00 a.m.. I am guessing there ar... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? No, Steely Dan is not bright. I have a Hegel H390 powering Focal Aria 936s that some say are bright and Aja is very easy to listen to on them. | |
| My Schumann Generator has Arrived @roxy54 I use a plate of shungite with copper flat tape wrapped around it in four stripes around the plate, and I put one crystal on top. After you make the assembly described above, where do you locate it? How big is the above assembly? |
