| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Albert,Funny you ask because this song sounds especially good with the tree in place, as do the old blues standards "Shake Yo' Limbs for Me" and "Ain't No Money Tree, Baby." Go figure. | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? I've found that pine -- yes, pine -- makes a huge difference in the spatial presentation of my system. In fact, I recently took out the wall (non load -bearing) adjacent to my listening seat so that I could erect a pine tree I cut down. Occasional... | |
| Spendor 2/3 or 1/2 in small room? There isn't that much difference between the output of the 1/2 and 2/3. (I use 2/3s in a similarly sized room to good effect.) You would be fine w/the 2/3s. BTW, they are wonderful speakers that never fail to sound great. | |
| Best Neil Young Album? Ditto for live Rust . . . mesmerizing and sheer genius. | |
| what is the difference between good and bad music The same was asked of Berlioz and Stravinsky. | |
| what is the difference between good and bad music It's a little something called "soul." | |
| EL-34: JJ Tesla or Electro-Harmonix? I recently went thru your exact situation and found the following:Tesla's: an unoffensive tube, evenly balanced, but just a hair lean in the midbassEH: Very lean, a sibilant bite in the mid treble, didn't make me want to listenSvet Winged C: Yes. ... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I'm sure both of these are fine speakers, but how do know that you will really like either one w/o having auditioned them? This could end up being a risky move IMO, as many have gone down this same path only to get burned. | |
| DIY Internal bracing for NHT 2.9 Don't do it. Narrod is right, as you'll simply be shifting the resonance to a higher frequency. If the resonance is too offensive, sell them. | |
| Energy damping or energy transfer? Cdc -- Clever. I've noticed, however, that doors tend to reflect light, thus making the system more bright. That's one reason I took the door off my system. | |
| Clear upgrade from 10T's? You might be hard-pressed to find a speaker that performs at its best that close to the wall. You might consider looking for a transmission line design from Spendor, Fried, or Carolina Audio. I think these are supposed to behave better near walls ... | |
| Stupid Bellari Q If the tube is not working, the unit should not be working. And some tubes give off more light than others. It's according to the size and placement of the filaments. | |
| Energy damping or energy transfer? What is dynamic coherence, and how do vibrations affect it? Thanks -- anyone. | |
| What Irish music will you be playing on St Pat's? Led Zepplin: I figured England isn't THAT far away. | |
| Elevating line conditioners.... Many people elevate them because it looks really cool. My personal take on the issue is a bit different, however. I pose that doing things like this can also act as a psychological counter to a personal deficit or to something one cannot control. ... |
