| To Sub or not to Sub...? ..laughing... I do Sir, indeed I do. And of course its alo nice to have it "indecent" .Cheers and long live the music with or without subconscious rumblings. (Still, you don't know what you miss, listening to those old Wilkinson Decca LP's, when y... | |
| Sweat spot? Sp. placementt again Please let us know, how things went, after damping the first reflection point on the ceiling. This could well be the culprit, especially that point, where the tweaters start reflecting. | |
| Before They Were Famous Hear,Hear, David! | |
| Sweat spot? Sp. placementt again Hello Greg, do you get this at all listening levels, no matter if the music is loud or soft? I've come across this phenomenon, with the image seemingly rising on the speakers, the louder the music gets. I've learnt this to be phase related. Otherw... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? A splendid analysis, Wehamilton. How come you know me so well?!! | |
| Linear Tracking Turntables - Best?? Right Gerry, changing VTA on the Goldmund was an absolute bitch, which bugged me so much, that I had it modified to be operated by remote control from my listening position. Since then I'm spoilt. Don't mean to show off, just wanted to say that it... | |
| Power cords - a BASIC question Bob hat Recht mit allem was er sagt. To my ears and experience he is right on the money. So do be curious and experiment, it's www.highendmarkt.de of course, not wwww, put one in too many. One word of caution with very expensive power cables at $1... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Redkiwi, fond greetings: There will be RHUBARB as long as humans debate. As for double blind tests, they DO have their merits. Many of us would not be around any more, if they did not exist. As you know, the pharmaceutical industry must rely heavi... | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? Dear Mr. Lindemann, as I said, your theory is correct. However have you ever listened to a good sub in your system? I tend to suppose not, otherwise you would not maintain what you do. I suspect, that you don't know/heard what you are talking/theo... | |
| Linear Tracking Turntables - Best?? Tim, OK, I don't know of any arm, which does not deed a lot of tweaking and readjustment. The better and the more demanding your hearing is, the more you are compelled to tweak. For the rest, my personal experience mirrors that of djnorth's. I've ... | |
| Power cords - a BASIC question Lieber Fritz,Das sind alles gute Ratschlaege oben. I also would say to invest your money first say in good speakers. PCs, as Brulee has rightly pointed out, can make a tremendous difference and if you want to experiment, I suggest you try your pre... | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? Lindemann is right in theory, though he forgot the lowest organ pedal point, which I believe is about 16 hz and comes at you in huge waves, more felt of course than heard and will scare the shit out of you, if it hits you unprepared. Otherwise I f... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? No money, basically you make a good point here, but don't many audiophiles react in the sense of : Since all "good", meaning very expensive, cables neeed to be burnt in and this is always expressively mentioned in the glossy literature, then somet... | |
| Is shielding cables that important? No need really to give my two cents worth, except for my experience with various XLO cables as well as the VDH's, mentioned above. I always preferred the sound of the unshielded cables, whenever I could safely use them in my system. ( More openess... | |
| Cable Arrangement Suggestions As a rule I try to keep all speaker cables away from each other and from all the other cabling.Also, as Liguy says, I try to keep power cables away from the rest. If other cables must come close, I strictly avoid parallel runs but try to make them... |
