| Room Setup .... REW .... Umik-1 ......Advice Please Probably does not matter which is first. Don't expect huge impacts or corrections from the traps unless they are very large and can address the modes you are certain to uncover. Look at your initial sweeps and they kinda start you down a path. Mos... | |
| Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application! I posted a phot of my DIY cable risers in the cables $2500 thread on or about Sunday. Just to give some ideas. | |
| Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application! Nothing pisses off the lab manager quicker than parts flying off of hardware set-ups or un-godly screeching from unexpected resonances. Fun, fun, fun. | |
| Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application! There is natural resonance of the device versus the resonance of the device environment as it floats on a non-rigid mount. Both of those are on a platform that is vibrating, we presume, at different amplitudes based on the SPL and frequencies. No... | |
| What are you tweaking this weekend? I tore all of my wiring out, moved my rack 4 inches more out from the wall for better access, added some box frames to the back of my shelves to support my cables, moved the Puritan to the back wall and off the shelves, removed all my grounding bo... | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? In use | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? Some cable risers I made many moons ago from bowl blanks. Just modified them to accommodate the Fideliums. Have lead in the bottom for more stability. These really help to keep your routing neat and tidy. I have no need to run power cables through... | |
| Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II vs. Absolute Copper IC's Have only used a few Azen cables so I can't comment on the two versions you mention (OP) side by side. I think I had Matrix about 6 versions of hardware prior. Well built for sure. I do believe the VDH might be very close to the Stealth Indra, as... | |
| Synergistic ECTs Much like the HFT's, perhaps the ECT's are negating resonances at specific frequencies. The cancelation may result in a blacker background. It almost seems more rational at an electronic level than the range of frequencies seen by an HFT across yo... | |
| It's Great Having So Many Choices (?) I've harped on my kids, now in their 20's, to get yourselves to places where you always have choices in life. You may chose wisely or you may chose poorly, but having choices is better than being boxed into have no choice but to go in a direction ... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables I've read some of what MC posted by downloading it. I'm guessing here, and should confirm with Jeff Smith, the approach to have the conductors separated as the Fideliums are may have been to avoid the inductor solution Townshend used and provide a... | |
| Moving the beloved gear When the gear goes on the truck you can’t always know where it is or what that box is coming off the truck. I use fluorescent orange duct tape to mark my audio boxes so I can track their handling and stacking, etc. And when they come off the truck... | |
| Synergistic ECTs What do they do exactly? I had zero luck with the HFT's. Probably because my room is fully treated. And no impact from an FEQ either. I have a Wizard coming to try that. Kinda dig the purple fuse in the preamp (only unit that is fused). I re... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables I've been a fan of flat wire/ribbon cabling for years so this is interesting to read. There's something about the geometry that I cannot explain electrically that makes sound just more better😃 with flat wire. I have used DCCA and Verastarr power ... | |
| Recommended USB Cables. A couple of years ago I was feeling a little randy and bought myself an over the top (price, that is) USB - Shunyata Sigma. Lucky for me, it was like verdant's acquaintance spoke about, it transformed my system performance. I'm not happy about sp... |
