| Putting weights on speakers? I'd be interested to know what speakers this works on. I've always assumed this had to do with the woofer rocking the cabinet back and forth, but didn't think a 150 lb speaker would have this effect. OP: What speakers are you using?? | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match WIth all Focals, minimize toe-in. Having the speakers cross 3-6 feet behind your head is a good start. | |
| Duelund CAST-PIO-Ag I ended up trying a pair of them in a speaker crossover, and they were not worth it. The 0.1 Audyn TC however were really great. $20 each. | |
| Speaker placement and dB differences Was too tired when I answered this. If you are using OmniMic, use the swept signal with gating/blended results. This will help you see if the problem is consistently across all frequencies (which would imply an equipment issue) or if it's in the b... | |
| Bryston 4B3 or 14B3 ? If you are using a Mytek for your DAC, strongly suggest you use a preamp. I've had several instances of static causing the volume control to hit max. | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? I’m just surprised you are going into analog @luismaWhat is a hobby if you can’t experiment and play with things? Besides, it's not as if I have been anti-analog, but digital is just sooooooooo convenient! Of course, I could forget all of this a... | |
| Speaker placement and dB differences 2.5" is too small to account for a 1 dB difference. Swap the speaker cables and see if the effect remains. If the effect changes, it's your equipment. If it remains, measure your speakers at 3' | |
| The meaning of “Remastered” Before CD’s or DSD’s or LPs are cut a final master is made. This final master may go back to a previous 2 track master or to multi-track originals. Re-mastering means that a new final master was made and that the new mastering engineer has re-thou... | |
| What is the maximum amperage on the 15 volt side for the Pro-ject Power Box ds2 Sources The way to tell is to power your turntable and measure the voltage under load. If it stays at 15V, you are good. | |
| Watt War I owned and still own several Class D amps made from B&O amp modules. They sounded identical to the Parasound A21s I had. Sold the Parasound. Eventually switched to Luxman which sounded better than both. The idea that half-decent Class D amps... | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? I would strongly suggest you listen for yourself here. We can talk tech but your ears are the only arbiter. I would be personally disinclined to get a fancy DAC and then do DSP after though, seems like a a waste, but some do just that. | |
| Confused. Need VERY sensitive headphones. The choice you need to take is the one you don't want. Get a Fiio headphone amp. | |
| Tweeter type and brightness Don't always blame the tweeter. That harshness is in most cases, just excessive volume, at least in good quality speakers, and not distortion/breakup. Well, you just described compression, and this to me is a sign of a mediocre tweeter. Room a... | |

| Thiel Owners Getting good, deep bass in a room is always complicated. A smaller (higher -3 dB) speaker can often sound much better in many rooms. 20-40 Hz are possible from even 6.5" drivers, but of course, not at concert levels. Room treatments should always... |
