| What are the limits of room correction/ treatments ? YES! Room treatment fist, EQ/Room correction second. GIK Acoustics, great advice and highest value products. Room treament enables EQ, especially in the bass. Best,Erik | |
| power conditioner @lostbears I can understand your confusion. Unfortunately almost NO power conditioner helps ground hum. Please see my blog here: http://pqltd.blogspot.com/2016/11/quick-safe-and-easy-fixes-for-ground.htmlFurman makes an excellent product, and prot... | |
| Norah Jones @garebear I think that’s Perl Jam or Phish | |
| Don't think my preamp likes feeding signal to two seperate places. I'd suggest passive. No noise, adds ground isolation. :) Best,Erik | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues I do not know who was at fault, I truly do not, but I would expect if I shipped a product, insured, and it arrived damaged that the receiver would be obligated to notify me BEFORE doing work on it. But again, I have no idea in what order things oc... | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? Custom makers will build you incredible speakers for that amount. :) Are you looking for floor standers or bookshelf or standmounts? | |
| Hearing aid advice & suggestions? Do a search and you'll find some threads that cover this topic already. If it was just her, I'd suggest you consider a digital EQ, or if she primarily listened with headphones. Best,Erik | |
| Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles And please dear god tell me you've paid this much attention to your room acoustics??? | |
| Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles No, you won't have ground loops... it's just a little um, pointless. :) So by NEC you must run a dedicated ground from your panel all the way to the box where your outlets are, and ground the outlet AND The box there. This is to ensure if a short ... | |
| Cheater plug safety Arcticdeth, One benefit MIGHT be if you got a shielded power cable. Even if you don't connect the ground at the amp side, the shield will reduce RFI noise. AND yes, use a good surge protector. :) Best,Erik | |
| Frequency response to 100k +/_ 1.5db? More than a little ridiculous. :) More importantly to me would be energy storage and releasing. I'm a big fan of very good AMT's (as opposed to just average one's) for this reason. :) Best,Erik | |
| Link for acoustical treatments +1 on GIK for advice, cost effectiveness and price. OK, so that's +3. :) | |
| Cheater plug safety GB, You haven’t had a problem because fortunately equipment is reliable, but you are defeating a built in fail-safe. Please don’t do it and don’t suggest it to others.It's like the guy who never wears a seat belt, because hes' never had a problem ... | |
| Acoustic Preference Maestroso 1.0 or B & W 805D?? Never heard either, but know some of the parts and similar. There’s a B&W house sound that I’m not a fan, nor am I a big fan of any of their tweeters since the nautilus series began. I particularly dislike them for movies. However if you LIKE ... | |
| Room treatment-I was afraid of this I kind of don't care about cables at all. :) However, one thing is that great acoustic treatments will often outlast all your other gear. You can listen to a much wider range of speakers for instance, so things you might previously not have tried... |
