| Bass at your ears? (Bass imaging) perhaps the first time you have heard a room pressurized? | |
| What would you say is THE MOST important factor to good imaging? "Balance control knob" Don't laugh. It's not funny - not when employed properly. Stay tuned for my latest review at Dagogo.com, in which I discuss a fascinating speaker system that allows, among other things, for very precise manipulation of the ... | |
| My SPL meter shows ambient/background noise of about 41.x dB. Is that average, hi or low? I was rather serious about noise control, both emanating from and entering the custom room I designed and built in my basement. Quietness was paramount. My measurements from three different phone apps:Decibel Meter 30-32dB (I presume this is we... | |
| electeomition except banana plugs Oh, they do not? That's what you said. ;)Correction; "accept". | |
| New setup In my younger days as an audiophile I much enjoyed Yamaha separates. No one can tell you the outcome of comparison of these if they have not used them in comparison. Preferences determine nothing in terms of results. I'm afraid you will simply hav... | |
| Anyone else grateful that they got hooked on this crazy addiction It's a good thing. | |
| 3 foot speaker cables, Red Dragon 500 WPC Class D amps to Revel Sub-15s Yes, likely very nice. :) | |
| 3 foot speaker cables, Red Dragon 500 WPC Class D amps to Revel Sub-15s In comparisons between short 1m and longer 3m speaker cables of the same brand the shorter cables were superior. I tested this out with several amps/speakers over the years and the results were unequivocal; shorter speaker cables are better. Howev... | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone I prefer paper, polymer, mylar, wood, ceramic, woven fiber of various sorts, and metal. Oh, yeah, and diamond. | |
| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? Differing tech for omni, array, full range and all in between. Imo, all capture aspects of desired sound characteristics while missing some that alternatives give. Like being I parking lot with a dozen fun, higher performance vehicles to drive. I... | |
| IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A mikepaul, I have not done comparison between the Bluesound and my current source, the reviewed Small Green Computer SonicTransporter and the SONORE Signature Rendu SE with systemOptique. I am very pleased with the performance, both as server and s... | |
| IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A Go big or go home. Actually, go big at home. Kingsound King III electrostatic with twin Legacy Audio XTREME XD Subs in 13×23 room. GLORIOUS!Don’t rook yourself by under-purchasing on performance. Both reviewed by me for Dagogo.com (Old thread; may... | |
| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? -6dB and -10dB are throw away specs imo. The only one that is really telling is the -3dB. If the -3dB spec is accurate, then the speaker does not do deep bass. You will need to add a subwoofer if you want to capture the spatial information that re... | |
| How to set up a system? Congrats! I suggest you begin a Virtual System here and post pics of your gear. If the gear has Owner's Manuals, then they should guide you. If not, then perhaps some folks with vintage Levinson gear can help. I'm having trouble pulling up images ... | |
| I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go? Your best bet is still an audio show. I used to travel to neighboring states to hear systems at dealers. I even looked for audio shops when on trips around the world. There is as much variety in audio salons as there are in shows. You will hear so... |
