| Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl Correction to my last post. It should have read......even if the limit of human temporal resolution is *two hundred* times higher than Kunchur claims, that would still place it at only 1ms, in which case placement differences of approximately a fo... | |
| Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl 04-20-11: DbphdI wondered why someone from a university in South Carolina would publish such an article in other than JASA. Some of the contentions about levels of neural processing of temporal information seem astonishing, so I wonder if peer rev... | |
| Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl Bifwynne - Glad my post was helpful to you. If you can manage it, it would be worth the experiment to move the sub roughly coplanar with the mains and see if it improves the system's transient response. It will be audible as better coherence and P... | |
| Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl 04-18-11: RoscoeiiiCan you point us to a good explanation of how to time align subs and mains?04-18-11: StanwalThere is a good set of set up instructions on the Sumiko site.The Sumiko subwoofer setup instructions can be downloaded here. According ... | |
| Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl IME, two subs typically yield better results, because two subs usually provide smoother in-room frequency response.Having said that, I use a single sub for 2 channel listening, and it sounds great. But part of the reason is that I am able to (1) E... | |
| System versus live There's a recent A'gon thread that addressed a similar topic at great length. You can read it here. In that thread I wrote..."...to my ears, the three principal characteristics that limit how real most systems sounds are: Dynamic range, spatial cu... | |
| A New Believer Antipodes - Thank you for taking the time to further respond to my questions. Some of the ideas you mentioned are things I am familiar with, some of them not. In both cases, your answers strike me as honest, and I appreciate that, especially from ... | |
| A New Believer The main design characteristics we focus on to reduce time-domain errors are the conductor purity, dielectric, resonance control and geometry.Antipodes - Thank you for addressing my question. FWIW, I am not one of the angry ones. I am just curious... | |
| A New Believer 04-12-11: Antipodes_audioIf the time relationships in a sound are unnatural then the brain is quickly fatigued trying to make sense of what it hears, and the music sounds confused. If the time relationships are accurate then the brain can make com... | |
| Anyone went back to using bare wires on speakers? I use bare wire on both the amp and speaker ends. I noticed a small improvement in SQ when I removed the spades.I could be crazy.Bryon | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? 04-12-11: Douglas_schroederIn a similar fashion to the example of arthritis negatively impacting the running, hearing loss has a real world consequences.You make some good observations, Douglas, but I'm not sure I reach the same conclusions you do... | |
| What stand mount monitors works w/ Pass XA 30.5? With your budget and your amp (which I also own), I think you have a lot of great options.Jylee mentioned one I have heard at length: The Focal 1007be. It sounds excellent with the XA30.5 -- transparent, detailed, expressive. The 1007be has a touc... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? i admit that you can measure frequency response of a stereo system, which while an incomplete measurement of accuracy, may be sufficient for most purposes.As you no doubt know, there are many other measurements relevant to accuracy besides frequen... | |
| Best DAC for Sonos The Sonos has a high level of jitter on the S/PDIF output. In light of that, you will probably want to select a dac that handles jitter well, whether through ASRC, reclocking, or whatever. Another option is to lower the Sonos' jitter by getting Cu... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? 1. Hearing merely begins at the ears. It is a brain process. The sustained interest older audiophiles have devoted to the hobby results in knowledge and expertise that ENHANCES the brain process of hearing. This fact more than makes up for older l... |
