| Better "Noise Cancelling" Headphones for Air Travel? Any Shure IEM with the foam tips, properly applied, are the best,You have to go through the ritual though. Squeeze the tips with your fingers, hold them in while pulling up on your ear. This ensures the best noise blocking and bass response. They ... | |
| Duelund cast Pio Hybrid Copper/Silver or Rs series with Silver Bypass PIO @pumpweelYou should try the Mundorf EVO SIO. I find they exaggerate this effect, so I don't like them, but I think you would. :) Best,E | |
| Is the grass greener on the other side? OP: Go visit their web site. Their help is pretty comprehensive and experienced. I believe they even have a free 3D room designer/simulator now. Your alternative is of course to hire a professional acoustician and if you can afford it, I highly r... | |
| Is the grass greener on the other side? OP: Absolutely. Room correction always works better with room treatment. Especially when it comes to bass nodes. With room treatment that is effective below 120 Hz, you can de-energize peaks and valleys enough to really improve both. Having said ... | |
| Is the grass greener on the other side? Room acoustics. Talk to GIK. That makes everything better, and your room more speaker friendly. My experience is that if you get good room treatment you may change everything else, but the room acoustics will stay. I have 5 panels plus two bass tr... | |
| Personal vs. Market Values I don't take it that personally, but I also don't understand why so many assume liberties with the spelling of a name that only has 4 letters. | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? When I read certain descriptions about speaker imaging, I’m reminded of Akira Kurosawa’s biopic. Shooting on a live volcano, he had to add a lot more smoke. Think about that for a sec. He's on a real, actual live volcano in Japan but he had to add... | |
| Personal vs. Market Values To answer eric_squires concerns, I guess I'll wait for a reply that was meant for me to come through, because I don't know who this "eric" is. Erik | |
| Personal vs. Market Values Kind of accidentally, I'm reading the book "iconoclast" and in the middle of discussions about how the stock market works and how iconoclasts make money by going against group / market values. Anyone who wants a deep dive into this should take a l... | |
| Speakers positionning Going off-axis often reduces any top octave or higher ringing. An especially good idea for a lot of (but not all) metal tweeters, including some Be's. Crossing in front of your head you reduce side wall reflections, so it makes sense to me, overal... | |
| Personal vs. Market Values So, I'll try a little truffle oil on my interconnects and speaker cables. Perhaps they will sound or taste better :) Some one can make money on that idea, might as well be you. :)E | |
| Personal vs. Market Values @john123There are a lot of pronouns in your first paragraph. Could you be a little more specific, and what exactly does this mean: The psychological terrain of reacting to the unconscious forces made conscious & acted on by attempting to sell... | |
| Can anyone help me remove a stuck fuse holder from my tube amp? Mike,To be clear, the plastic cover won't come out, right? Try some strong duct tape. Attach and pull. If that still isn't enough, super glue on the end of a dowel. Use a razor after to remove. Best,E | |
| litz copper vs stranded silver? Parts Connection sells a solid silver interconnect. It's a little fragile, but so cheap you may buy multiples and make your own stranding. :) Best,E | |
