| Jazz for aficionados Another of the OP’s faves. Just don’t tell him Miles was the leader of the date ☺️. I’m not prepared to assume he is gone. I hope he’s not and would prefer to think that, no matter what and where, he’s lurking about. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Outstanding! It is a relatively new thing in Jazz for bass players to rise, as improvisers, to the level of the great piano or horn players. Not a criticism, bass players’ role in Jazz is primarily as time keepers and so the players necessarily f... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers Actually, it doesn’t matter if they have four as long as the cones are taller than the spikes, but do use only three cones of you decide to try this. The cones don’t have to be attached. The cones have flat upper surfaces, so the speakers simply r... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers As some have stated, you want to have solid contact with the floor below; so, yes, the spikes have to pierce the carpet. I don’t believe that a wood platform, even slate (or other stone) on top of the carpet will be completely free of rocking even... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... ** i need someone to help explain how to make a less expensive system sound better, truthfully. with no lies at all. ** It is now legal in about half the country (USA). | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... As usual, one’s wife is right. She knew you were at the wrong audio store. Where is Mahgister, anyway? Anyone know? Miss him. MY bit of advice: abandon the need for “proof”. Trust your ears. If you can’t hear differences in sound learn to list... | |

| Solving the "complex music problem"? My feeling as well. I may have opinions about pin point imaging, but frankly it is nowhere near the top of my list of prioritizes when listening. Most of my listening is done outside the sweet spot. I focus more on tonal issues and rhythmic coh... | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? Big difference. You are listening to a great orchestral performance recorded in a great hall on a well balanced system. Think London Symphony in Kingsway Hall recorded by Kenneth Wilkinson for Decca. There is a passage in the score for solo picco... | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? Actually, to be more precise. The fault CAN be at playback, @thespeakerdude. Some gear accentuates (distorts) high frequency information which may give the illusion of more pin point imaging. Other gear (also) does a poor job of resolving very ... | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? That goes without saying. With a few variations, the seating of musicians in an orchestra is fairly standard and that is what recording engineers have to work with. As far as the hall goes, good conductors, musicians and hopefully the recording e... | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? As always with discussions such as this, it’s difficult to know exactly what the poster is trying to convey. “Less”, “more”, “not enough”, “too much” are usually relative characterizations based on personal taste and sonic goals for one’s system. ... | |
| Subwoofer boom is too much for me... I think we (Agon posters) should start the new year on a higher note (😉). So often , answers to an OP’s question are used simply as a vehicle for expressing all that we think we know about a topic without addressing the most obvious and easiest th... |
