| Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow Only if you prefer reflections from the cabinet, rather than from the wall behind. I use ths windows, blinds, and curtains behind my speakers for tone controls. Open windows are the best, except for my neighbors. | |
| Diminishing Returns I was gone for years, but have found that I need some mental masturbation since my dog died. | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think I have two sets of speakers with 2 pairs of six inch drivers. They are great, but in my current listening room, my 25 x 30 living room with high ceilings, subs are a must on much music. One pair is duplicated in my 12 x 12 bedroom with no subs n... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly I t was mentioned that M/C cartridges might mask tics and pops. Could this be from a heavier traking force. I am going to play with thjis idea by adjusting mine. | |
| Frustrated with Vinly I also always hated a dirty stylist. They get too much grease in your hair. | |
| Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging. Imaging is usually executed by multi-miking. Old jazz standards from the 1960's and early 1970's are the best for my tastes. A mic on stage left, a mike on stage right, and often, a mike on the soloist. Unfortunately, the bass suffers on many o... | |
| Can anyone explain in laymans terms why your gear sound better after warm up From switching things around ion the sources, I have determined that the warm up is not for your equipment, but for your auditory system. We learn to mask the bad parts and concentrate on the good. Once acceptable, we simply enjoy the music, rat... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Oh yeah! Beginning around $3000, you can get some really good, newer B&W's, but don't go below a Nautilus or S series 803, or you will need subs. (Exception: The 804 with the dual woofs is really good.) I have the second generation 803's bu... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Skip the phono. It costs too much for the rewards. Don't buy a crappy system and waste your money tweaking the hell out of it. For your budget, it would be hard to beat old B&W 802's, either Series II or III, preferably the latter. The Bry... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A few CD's. I just looked. | |
| Advice on whether speaker upgrade is in order I have Matrix 803 Series II. My upgrade was subs. It made a huge difference in the flexibility off controlling bass integration, and of course volume when needed. I did time align the B&W speakers with the sub drivers, and use a separate am... | |
| Another marketing gimmick? ... with back lighted, orange Led's or that tube glow. | |
| Why are brick and mortar HiFi dealers so bad? If NY has more audio stores per capital, which I doubt, of if not, there must be good ones. | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? If a digital cable is used, the only thing that matters is whether the bits are transmitted. Being degraded before hitting the cable is irrelevant, because whatever bits are transmitted is all the question deals with. Read The Skeptic Audiopho... | |
| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts I certainly do not claim to be an expert, but I can add this; Take a sub driver and main woofer out and measure the distance from the mounting surface to the center of the magnet, and not at an angle from one to the other. Make certain the sub c... |
