| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? If you built an addition on to your house and the electrician told you that he could install electrical wire that would dramatically improve the performance of anything plugged into it but it would cost you a $100.00 a foot would you go for it?JPS... | |
| Please comment on your experience with Plantation shutters. Yes they look great, Mitch's response makes me realize that the shutters could be installed on top of/over the acoustic window treatments I described (sound planks et al), so you could treat the window and have the look your wife is after. As others have noted the shu... | |
| Please comment on your experience with Plantation shutters. Yes they look great, I have a double window (two completely seperate isolated panes mounted with a small offset between them to reduce chances of resonance in the window) with shutters in between as well. The inner window then has sound planks (three on one pane, two ... | |
| Please comment on your experience with Plantation shutters. Yes they look great, Shutters will do little to nothing to help I'm afraid. Heavy drapes is an option but if you have the chance attaching something such as ASC sound planks to the window can work wonders. You can use Velcro to attach them so they can be removed to op... | |
| Is my room going to suck I think the room could sound very good. Dimensions are similar to mine I would try putting the speakers on the long wall and listen in near field. In my room my speakers are 18" off the wall and 8.5’ apart. I listen about 8’ away and about 9" off ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Ok dracule1 -- for one last time let’s deconstruct your response and hopefully 😕 help you understand how you come acrossIt’s just not what I call realistic based on my experience as a regular concert attendee of classical and jazz music and as a c... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? dracule 1, OK, I'll try to be reasonable but hard to do so when your response to my polite posting is to immediately lambast my choice of digital equipment. Perhaps you've never heard DCS gear with the best cabling 😏And yes I have evolved in the c... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? I thought the OP might actually benefit from hearing from someone who has quite rationally decided to spend >$10K on a piece of wire and >$100K on all the cables in my systemFirstly anyone with any sort of listening experience can appreciate... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Inspired by this thread I spent an hour or so relocating my Atmosphere and 2 FEQs this morning. In my wide but not deep room I ended up with best results (most openeness and air) witha) The Atmosphere on the ground center front, it had been raised... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's As a side note, I just moved my FEQ into the HT system to make room for the Atmoshere mini in the main rig and am very pleased with the results, especially the visual acuity on my plasma monitor. Who would have thought the FEQ would improve that?!... | |
| Synergistic Research Upgrades s1nn3r -- I think you'll find that the various HFTs work very well with your existing treatments. I also combine SR products with more traditional acoustic treatments, in my case the Acoustic Science Sound Planks, Tube Traps and an Acoustic Soffit... | |
| Best current footers for preamps? I've had very good experience with Marigo Mystery feet, currently on the F8 extreme -- they are expensive ($1500 per set of 3) but work very well on my ARC 40th pre and Ron offers a 30 day trial and full upgrades to any future versions. You will n... | |
| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... In my last installation I ran 35' of interconnect in the crawl space with no issues but one thing to bear in mind is making the entry/exit to the floor look nice while still keeping creepy crawlies out -- I found these products used in clean rooms... | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs So for what its worth my speakers and LP system including all accessories in both cases cost about the same, but both together are only 30% of the total cost of my system -- CD Player is another 25% (it takes a lot of money to make CDs sound half ... | |
| Symposium Ulta Shelf under floor standing speakers - Any Thoughts ? I didn't find a US dealer for the Townshend podiums but had no problems buying them direct from the UK. They are made to order in the UK anyway and will take about 6-8 weeks to get to you. Cost will be $2000 plus depending on the size you need. Mo... |
