| Audio as a weapon BTW, I believe that during WWII a writer at Audio magazine suggested using sound waves to detect submarines, which was actually a highly classified secret at the time. Some one please fact check me. :)Best,E | |
| Audio as a weapon It may not be acoustical. It could be microwave. Theoretically (and I’m out of my depth) frequency modulated microwaves could move the fluid in the head, causing acoustic like side effects. Or it could be microwaves being used to excite a local ac... | |

| Seal a ported sub? Old, clean t-shirts work just fine to seal it. Your ears will tell you which you prefer.... but... really what you want is bass traps and a DSP to integrate the sub properly into your room and with your speakers. Best,E | |

| Better to use Parasound Halo A31 or Rotel RB-1590 for front L/R? I don't think the brand difference will make a big deal for HT, but I suspect for music you'll much prefer the A31. :) Best,Erik | |
| Isolation Transformer “Refinements” Nice. One thing to notice is how low the filtering occurs at. Another device, much less expensive, which achieves similar results is a series mode surge suppressor such as from Furman or Brickwall which has a -3 dB point somewhere around 3 kHz if ... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? after selling the P 5 I had to use my Oppo 105 direct outs to my amps, and began to see how colored the P 5 was. The light went off, so I revisited passives. You are not wrong, but this is unique to the P5! :) The P7 is much more transparent. I... | |
| Best Speakers for Very Large Bright Room Mobiusmu,ESL and dipoles need space to work. If you are planning on cramming them in front of a wall, they are not for you.Instead, I’d recommend horn loaded speakers with a sub. My bet is that this would work outstandingly well for good cost:http... | |
| LG V30 - Impressions? Based on some online reading, the only difference in the impedance modes is the output gain. I'll have to take my headphones to make sure it's loud enough. :) Best,E | |
| ICEpower 1200AS - More details emerge Thanks Tweak! I'm not interested in buying them at this point in time, I'm awash with Class D amps I am not using. :) Just wanted to correct the record. Best,E | |
| RE: Suggestions for Tidal Streaming problems caused by Internet Connection Problems Want to add a little: Apartment dwellers often suffer from excess amount of WiFi congestion. Too many routers in too close range competing for a limited number of channels. Get a smart phone app. On Android I use Wi-Fi Analyzer, which shows me all... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @tweak1 You misspelled my name, but I'm guessing you are talking about me. :) Sorry, I meant "current production Parasound pre's." Never heard the P3.Best,Erik | |
| LG V30 - Impressions? Hi @loomisjohnson Good info! Thanks for replying. You were comparing to the HTC M-10? My favorite IEM's are 30ish Ohms. What happens if it senses a low impedance?Best,Erik | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @tweak1 - I agree totally that the P 5 is way overpriced, but it s price includes dealer margins I meant that relative to other active pres. The P7 also includes dealer margins but it is a great value. By value I mean price vs. performance. You... |
