| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped I have personally been in the same situation, frigid amp, and went one more step and put it a garbage bag and sealed it and YES waited four days which is when it felt like room temp. barts hates moisture and electronics agree...

| $100K system build - % breakdown of spend Agree with @carlsbad in that I would be disappointed if I couldn't put together a satisfying system sans subs for 100k. Having said that bump the speaker number as an exercise and see what you find, doesn't mean you have to spend it. Speakers are... | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? 1960. The neighbor across the street (an EE) had a Mac mono amp and one Klipsch corner horn. That thing played all day every day with a Mac tuner. I was interested and amazed at 7 years old. One day I asked him how loud it could play, they used... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? I didn't realize that $50k speakers were "ultra expensive"...silly me. Regards, barts | |
| GIK Vicoustic and others @8th-note I agree with your sentiment...but this is not a one-size-fits-all arrangement. This (essentially) is what we signed up for! If the listening room doesn't require aggressive SOUND-PROOFING then your good. If external noise invasion is... | |
| GIK Vicoustic and others @ei001h "why double dry wall if you’re already using rock wool ? Where did you instal spray foam ? Why is glue important?" I live in a quiet neighborhood, but there are still neighbors with leave blowers, chain saws etc and the ever present AC... | |
| GIK Vicoustic and others @ei001h Double drywall does work (Quiet rock is the bomb, Home Depot) I did that and used green glue between the layers. I also had spray foam installed and then rock wool on top of that on all walls and ceiling before drywall. Prior to drywall ... | |
| XLR question for bass @wtb Is the front of your working desk a solid flat surface? Obviously the chair to the left of your desk has a solid back. It seems to me that you're sitting behind a wall, OK a half wall. I'm thinking that the bass is bouncing off those fla... | |
| Question about sound stage Although this sounds too simple...chose a recording that you know well that is a particular offender. Turn the balance knob completely to the left (or disconnect the right speaker) give it a good listen. Then do the opposite. Results? Regards, ba... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” I do not agree that all concerts are mono. Several examples. Pink Floyd - DSOTM Tour Grateful Dead - any concert played through "The Wall of Sound" Steely Dan - Just saw them in Boston Nov 20th, definitely in stereo but I... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” +1 @fuzztone This really cracked me up... "If he can’t get blasted without raising a stink he’s in the wrong century." Regards, barts | |
| preamplifier after preamplifier? OP, In both of your diagrams above you are still putting all of the bass freqs into your main speakers. Unless you have dual binding posts on your speakers and even then you would be taking out the woofers in the mains entirely. The passive vol... | |

| FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare? FEDEX next day air would cost a small fortune and in the end would get the same trucks used for delivery, but the driver would very likely be way more experienced. If Cary insists in using FEDEX, then you insist on using FEDEX Freight, which as p... |
