| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble When you limit reflective sound in any room the sound obviously becomes more localized to the speaker. The speaker gets sonically smaller @mijostyn For the record, I'm not just spouting theory from books or an AI app. I've heard this work ma... | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @fynnegan It is absolutely true that we don't all get to build a room just for our stereo, but I think many of us have at least some options in choosing to treat or add curtains or rugs. My point to this discussion was to inform readers of how t... | |
| Audible High Pitched Hum... Advice Needed So you are aware, HDMI is notoriously noisy and prone to causing ground loops, ESPECIALLY from PC's. PC's are just prone to ground loops in general but HDMI seems to also be bad. Any coaxial cables coming into the HT can also be suspect. The te... | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables The Viborg outlet and integrated cover looks... funky. I don't see the usual mounting screws, but there are a pair of side screws so the whole assembly (outlet and cover) seem to screw into the drywall?? Honestly I'm not even sure that's legal. ... | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables @mitch2 I hear you, I do think there would be a market for uber cables with 90 degree plugs though. They save a lot of floor space. | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables @jea48 - The two outlet screws should be to ground, not neutral. :) To avoid confusion, the metal plate hsould NOT touch any of the side screws on an outlet. 😀 | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables BTW, if your box is too recessed from the drywall you may need an "outlet box extender" instead. If your outlet screws are too short this is probably the way to go. | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables @mitch2 Oh, never saw those cable cradles before. A better option, IMHO is the 90 degree hospital grade plugs. They can be rotated to any angle, so pointing 45 down lets them avoid leveraging the plug out of the socket and leaves room for another... | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables @pgaulke60 You are welcome. If you find any back-stabbed outlets while you do you should probably replace them too. Protip: When you fold those plastic tabs you end up with one side open and the opposite closed. Put the closed side up agains... | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables I hope readers understand that I’m talking about reducing the motion of the outlet relative to the outlet box, not discussing improving the grip strength of any particular outlet. 😅 It seems some of you feel I have impugned the honor of your bra... | |
| Capacitor replacement for Jamicon 25 volt Where exactly is this cap? but +1 on CD caps. | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? @emergingsoul Sounds like you are talking specifically about room correction. One of the best things they do well is make sure the sub and main speakers are properly integrated, something most amateurs can't do very well at all. They should als... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @carlsbad2 Of the few DiracLive curves I've seen they look really good and some versions also let you set your own target curves. | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables @carlsbad2 Also, same, the cleaning lady (i.e. me) had several outlets around the house which were probably spongy for that same reason. Too much vacuuming. | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables @carlsbad2 You are welcome. As you probably already know, Tamper Resistant is now a requirement for homes. I use Eaton commercial/residential. If you buy in bulk (10x) from Lowe's they are a little cheaper. |
