My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened?
Is there any sign of life from the sub, such as LEDs illuminating? Or is it totally inert, as if an AC line fuse is blown?When you turn the sub on, you get the same high pitched screech that I heard when it blew. This is true even with just the po...

Hi Chad and Tesseract - Thanks for your condolences. :-)Chad - I agree that it's hard to see how the optical cable could do this damage.I talked with the folks at JL. They agree that the amp is blown. As to the cause, they don't know. They specula...

10-08-12: LearsfoolBryon, when you are talking about your concept of "reactive" listening rooms, you seem to be implying that they are more "live" than the original recording space.I didn't mean to imply that. With the word "reactive," I was simpl...

Sabai - I'll be interested to hear your impressions when you move into your new room. Are you going to treat it acoustically in any way?bc 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
Hi Sabai - Thanks for your comments, which are thoughtful and reasonable. It sounds like we have somewhat different views on the importance of the listening room, not only for creating the illusion that "you are there," but also for creating a sou...

10-05-12: SabaiThe question of what creates sound stage is an interesting one. In an open-air concert the sound does not come from all directions. It comes primarily from the amplification system used by the performers. In enclosed spaces like stu...

Sabai -- Your disagreement with Geoff about Kal's views reminds me of my disagreement with him about Gravitational Lensing on the Magic thread. The point isn't really about the details of Kal's views or the details of Gravitational Lensing. It's a... 
Importance of Soundstage/Imaging
An interesting question, Onhwy61. I asked a similar one in a thread from a couple years ago. My improvised list of attributes was a little different. It included resolution, soundstaging, PRaT, dynamics, tonal balance, harmonic content, accuracy, ...

10-01-12: ChadeffectI have great respect for Mapman, Bryoncunningham and others here, but I do feel Geoff is getting some unfair treatment in this particular thread.Did I miss something or is anger towards Geoff bleeding in from other discussions?...

09-29-12: GeoffkaitWhere have I been evasive? Just show me where I have evaded a direct question.Hmm. Where am I going to find an example of you being evasive? Let me think. Ahh yes, just 6 sentences later, where you say… I'm pretty sure noone her... 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
09-29-12: Geoffkait...the reason the sound is (relatively) distorted and compressed and noisy is because of the influence of the immediate environment on your sense of hearing. Somewhat analogous to radio frequency interference affecting the perfo...

09-27-12: GeoffkaitYou can't hear the sound you worked so hard to get, the sound that's actually there in the room, because your sensory perception is hurt by the objects, patterns, images, and information - books, CDs, DVDs, telephone books, etc....

Need a heavy duty receptacle
Mark - I feel your pain. I've had my own struggles with heavy power cords that don't want to stay plugged in. I've used 4 different fancy outlets. IME...-PS Audio: Death Grip-Shunyata: Loose Grip-Maestro: Moderate Grip-Synergistic Research: Death ...
