| Speaker positioning games. Where can I go from here? It may help to use headphones as a reference for imaging spread. :) Best,E | |
| Speaker positioning games. Where can I go from here? OP: So long as you are happy. But music should not just sound centered. It should sound as if it effortlessly encompasses the entire range from L to R and sometimes beyond. If you only hear it as coming from the center, you aren’t there yet. Anoth... | |
| Speaker positioning games. Where can I go from here? Um, cover your TV, and toe out more. If your imaging / positioning laterally is poor, it means you need more room treatment to the sides. | |
| How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks Hey @evelyn1 Let us know what you think! Best,E | |
| How to identify tube amp By weight. Different manufacturers used different transformers, so you could weigh it. (I'm joking). Take pictures and share them. | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio I used the Wyred4Sound Remedy before I got my Mytek.It did a really good job with older DAC's' and jitter prone devices. I no longer need it. :) Best,E | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? I'm thinking a little about a Babylon 5 episode, where Garibaldi rebuilds a motorcycle despite gasoline being illegal for centuries, just for the thrill of it. | |
| Watt do I do? Go over to DIYaudio, you'll find people who can help you. | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? Hi Everyone! It wasn't really clear when I posted, but I'm less interested in what will happen in 2,000 years than to try to glean what it is we are after in this hobby. Does it still exist if the gear is gone, or all costs $30?Best,E | |
| Quick question on 12v power supply Perfect. | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? Efficient Class D amps do not utilize power transformers and in recent years it also appears the RF noise issues associated with the switching circuits have been resolved. I agree, even though I am considering going from Class D monoblocks to a l... | |
| GIK acoustic panels GIK makes great stuff. I use their soffit traps as corner traps. They leave more usable floor space. Remind us of your speakers?Best,E | |
| Does the quality of an older interconnect degrade the sound over time? I don't really think so. How are your room acoustics?? :) That's a place to invest in. Otherwise if your DAC is older than 8-10 years, then that is definitely a place to invest. Best,E | |
| Power Conditioners - and where they are placed Furman is a really great choice. The main advantage of the unit you are thinking about vs. smaller is multiple banks of filtering, and power factor correction. But, it is a physcially large unit. If you want something almost as good, but a lot les... | |
| Quick question on 12v power supply The 250ma refers to 250 milliamps which equals 0.25 amps. It refers to the current capability of the power supply. Anything below this value won't be able to maintain 12V. Usually overrating the power supply is safe, so if you find anything in the... |
