| Amp with best bass control Everything you mentioned including 'lowest' can be attributed to the Acoustat TNT200. Especially in mono. Every time I think I'm experiencing the limitations of these amps, they surprise the hell out of me. They are brutally honest from the bottom... | |
| Popcorn Ceiling vs Smooth If you paint it, you throw the acoustic properties out the window. I can't count how many calls I've gotten to remove one way or another, popcorn ceilings that have been painted. They're horrible. | |
| Popcorn Ceiling vs Smooth There's two ways to install a popcorn ceiling. I've been doing this for over 40 years since it is partly what I do for a living. You can install it purely for cosmetic reasons, and also with acoustics in mind simply by how thick you spray it on/ho... | |
| Unbalanced hearing I also have the same issues. But artificially correcting it in these ways does not work. You can't fool yourself, ie: your brain. Listening to a correct presentation is still the most pleasing. You need to be able to identify the same sonic placem... | |
| Does it bother you? Some of the prior stuff the Beatles did was superior to Abbey Road so I don't get the 'something beautiful' analogy. It's the only Beatles recording that makes me yearn for fidelity every time I play it. No doubt because it's their peak production... | |
| Magnetic Isolation Yikes! | |
| Does it bother you? Too bad, eh. | |
| Does it bother you? You're right, they were.Ricardo, Of course you are correct. But even a cheap violin can drive you to tears when played by a master. A violin is after all, a violin. The basic electronic amplifier circuit is unchanged since it's inception. For all ... | |
| Do you know why I'm pretty sure no new vinyl presses are being built. Heck, there's probably scores just sitting around rotting or collecting dust. Who do you think received an epiphany all of a sudden and decided to go into business, pay the licensing fees, and ... | |
| Magnetic Isolation Did you miss my recent post regarding simple fiber scratch pads? The soft, pristine uninfused type, probably factory surplus. They are 'perfect'. Magnetic flux might as well be a solid. The fiber pads absorb and dissipate. | |
| Can a single terminal speaker be bi-amped? Dividing a passive cross-over is not a difficult procedure for an appropriate technician and well worth the low-cost investment. Especially if you are capable with the mechanics of installing the required additional binding posts. | |
| Does it bother you? Trent, you're the one that doesn't get it. We're on the playback side, you're on the recording side. Regardless of what you've done, we're just doing our best to capture it, whether good or bad. It's our best attempt at recreating a real performan... | |
| How Do You Calculate Watts Per Channel? It's a ploy, Al. We just love hearing your expertise:) | |
| Songs With Best Ending Dylan stands alone against any backdrop. However, I finally shut a woman up one time by responding ' yea, he's great. But he did lots of shitty stuff too'. She happened to walk in when I had Dylan on my portable system on a job I was working on. S... | |
| Music Sung with Passion Trick question? Do you regularly listen to music without passion? You've brought up the key component that identifies what constitutes that 'noise' we listen to that sends our dogs and cats scrambling for cover. |
