| Room correction room system vs ears…. I also agree to try room treatments first. Experiment with them in different places. To me, room correction is taking away your true sound and replacing it with something manufactured, I.e. fake. | |
| Dedicated circuits I, too, waited too long to upgrade the electrical path. Skeptical of SQ improvement. Well worth it. Hearing is believing. Especially if your system is true to the source. | |
| Upgrading power system I would have to guess that there is heavier gauge metal in the signal path of the outlet itself. The fuse in the breaker box is 20 amp rated and that is the only fuse in the power line. I need to feed a 250 wpc amp and a 1000 watt sub, and source... | |
| Upgrading power system Yes, 12/2 is the best I could get from my electrician. | |
| Upgrading power system It is on a 20 amp breaker. Does anyone know of an audiophile breaker switch? | |
| Upgrading power system @vonhelmholtz I do understand the concept. I really bought the Venom so I could plug in all my stuff into the dedicated line. It did not increase performance or hinder it either. The improvement in SQ came with the new 20 amp outlet. Speakin... | |
| Upgrading power system Thanks, people. I was thinking that the dedicated 20 amp line was getting pinched by the 15 am outlet. My power is pretty clean out in suburbia and an A/B test told me the Shunyata conditioner has very little if any effect [for me]. | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Supposing that you use a sub, try it moved forward and then backward during a listening session. Beside having the effect of the wall, you should be able to tell that time alignment does have an effect on the sound. [Adjustments on a Wilson will ... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them How about some Aerosmith ballads like "What it takes" or "Cryin'"? | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 I have a Hegel/ Magnepan combination that is totally revealing to the source. It is a Plain Jane to look at and I have drooled over the Luxmans many times since, but the Maggies are power hungry. Always look at what will make your speakers soun... | |
| Background noise. @baylinor I too suffer from tinnitus, don't really like the volume too high or it shortens my session. Don't bother calling the tinnitus hotline. They never pick up. It just keeps ringing. | |
| Parity Streaming is great, I use it most of the time, but keep the wall of records and CD's. It makes terrific ambience for your listening room. I have some occasional gatherings and it seems a lot of my friends [mostly 60-ish] will pick out a record t... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. I wouldn't ever mention The Band in the same sentence as the Beatles. Oops. | |
| Speakers This sounds like something I might have done. My suggestion is to play them awhile to see if it does affect the sound. If it does, try the magnet approach first. | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? No matter what cheap stuff you buy, over time, the cheepnis [ha ha] will come to your attention. And you will know you got what you pay for. |
