| Background noise. i bet the majority of y'all have perfect hearing and not a trace of tinnitus. not me. that said, i am a big believer in living out in the woods to get away from city/suburban noise. those are the big noisy dogs that, once those are out of the way,... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives that room is both way too small [maggies need much more space due to the requirement of being away from the back wall at least 3 feet] and also that room is almost a perfect cube, unfavorable acoustics as there are standing waves at the same frequ... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? some nova 6 [RS] speakers, mellow and surprisingly non-resonant [compared to their other speakers] first order crossover acoustic suspension design. a 1973 pioneer sx-737 35 wpc receiver which paired very well with the radshack speakers. a used ak... | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances what is so wrong about just designing a stable 8-ohm load for any amp? | |
| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? i've not heard any other 'tables make as dramatic a difference as what i heard listening to the ELP. | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? why hasn't there been more effort to make a sonically neutral stereo speaker system produce a holographic stereo image independent of listener position? | |
| Does dose anyone see these speakers in real? for that amount of money they ought to offer holographic imaging independent of listener position, as well as be able to reproduce a CLEAN 16 cycles at 110+ db. also they should offer a uniform 8 ohm load and produce a full acoustic watt in a lar... | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? i have a CEDAR DCX and CRX [declicker/decrackler] which are digital-only devices, and to get analog sound through them in the process of digitizing old phonograph recordings, i use a Phillips ISP a/d converter to put it through the CEDAR pair, the... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? the FCC/powers-that-be have long protected us namby-pamby 'muuricans from such, courtesy of the 7-second delay as well as the advent of recording tape and the editing block, scissoring such songs as "the pusher" [steppenwolf] and "mississippi g*dd... | |
| Hyperacusis. Looking for recommendations if i were you i’d go for very wide-dispersion as those will tend to have a "softer" presentation at the listening position, also i’d go for surround sound so there are no "hot spots" of more intense sound. i would also stick to SET amps as [finall... | |
| What I really hate about some music another song that brought out my inner curmudgeon, was "don't worry, be happy" - it made me wanna just find the emitter of said rot and hurl it down a vast chasm never to be heard again. | |
| What I really hate about some music i wonder what people here think of the song "ain't no sunshine" where he repeats "i know" something like 26 times? in my copy i edited that down substantially. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... i must comment that one member here misunderstood my meaning, i was not talking about speakers which put out bona-fide distortion, i was talking about less-revealing speakers esp. in the treble range. many poor recordings have obnoxiousness in the... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... nobody here seems to have accentuated one salient issue- the world of audio recordings is not all "audiophile-approved." the majority of surviving recordings are decidedly of sub-par audio quality, and even sub-par musical quality, and if you list... | |
| Klipsch Forte III Test i heard one of those in a record store a while ago, two of 'em mounted high on a wall, didn't notice how much space there was behind 'em. but i was struck in that they didn't have the forward bright sound i'd heard in every other Klipsch product ... |
