| Speakers The single most critical component I think acoustic panels can be considered components, and they add to a room. Two well placed $200 panels will impact a system more than $20,000 of cables. | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? I honestly don't know if Trump is truly racist. Xenophobic highly likely. If you take out the racist in your sentence, the guaranteed accuracy goes way up. He did good things economically, and the tariffs were absolutely the right thing to do. He ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Maybe someone already explained this, but I simply didn’t have the time to look through the whole thread. Due to manufacturing tolerances, a cable isn’t electrically the same from both directions.They did. I don't think the question is about wheth... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? The room acoustical bad controls of most users reinforce the choice of vinyl because vinyl S.Q. format resist more to a non optimal acoustical room settings...Digital to shine ASK for optimal acoustical controls more than vinyl, because of the tec... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? I dont have an opinion about direction but the problem is way more deep than the skeptic would want to admit.... Or you are complicating a ham sandwich. There are two choices. The difference is audible. The difference is not audible. The only way ... | |
| Major Contradiction, Can you replace foam surrounds with Rubber Surrounds on Speakers ??? erik_squires10,924 posts04-23-2021 9:28amI believe, and this is foggy, that the answer is that the majority of the compliance in a driver is the spider on the inside, next to the magnet. The foam or rubber ring we see on the outside is normally th... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? sandpat25 posts04-23-2021 9:30amAs an engineer I can tell you don’t always rely on instrument measurements to decipher human experience.Don't be fooled by a certain crowd who keeps insisting another crowd listens with instruments. That is just com... | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer) dletch2, thank you for your additional comments. You have homemade "custom" cables and appear to not understand how to assess cables in systems. Well isn't that a convenient and absolutely meaningless conclusion there Doug. I don't use your flawed... | |
| Major Contradiction, Can you replace foam surrounds with Rubber Surrounds on Speakers ??? You got some GREAT advise from a professional rebuilder, why are you asking. You got some generic advice from a rebuilder who probably did not consider how the product was used in application, in your specific model of speaker. Great rebuilder. I... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? douglas_schroeder2,988 posts04-23-2021 7:15amAnd nobody who is so chintzy that they won't spend any money on better wires is going to admit they might make a difference. We have some serious problems with attitudes and methodology in this communit... | |
| MQA actually tested p05129205 posts04-23-2021 7:24amWhy is it that the group of naysayers (cable, mqa, they all sound the same on these threads) have unfounded biases that they try to prove by finding somebody in their little world that agrees with them so they can b... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Do you have any woodworking skills? I am not sure I would waste time on cardboard or just whip up a box with 2x4 and plywood, though with the price of wood these days, that may cost more than the amp.https://www.packagingsupplies.com/collections/w... | |
| Connect cable modem/router to different circuit than audio? I assume you the cable router could go almost anywhere? Is there a reason why it is at your audio equipment? All you need is an Ethernet cable run from wherever it is to your audio rack.Ethernet is an electrically isolated connection. It is not p... | |
| Speaker cone shape I don't perceive flat speakers to have any inherent advantage in breakup. If anything a cone has more stiffness in the vector of movement. | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? If there is a shift, a skewing, imbalance tonally, dynamically, etc. then further exploration/discussion is necessary. Yes, you either have some contacts you need to clean, you plugged the directionally shielded interconnect in wrong (unlikely), y... |
