| vandersteen 2ce sig ii listening distance and tilt i think i'm in a "final" tweak stage. i left the speakers 9ft apart, i remeasured my equilateral triangle and found i was sitting back too far from the tip of the triangle by about 12ish". so i fixed that. before fixing that, ears were only 32ish"... | |
| vandersteen 2ce sig ii listening distance and tilt thanks for more responses!1. my 2 seat couch is leather and has a headrest, it reclines a bit, but not enough to be inches lower ear height. i throw a couple of bath towels or blanket over it so the head rest is as dead and low as possible, my ear... | |
| vandersteen 2ce sig ii listening distance and tilt thanks both. i think you're both kind of right in that sometimes it is best to try one approach T setup vs equilateral. oh, and toe in definitely changes things depending on a lot on which speaker it is.so, like i said i started to agonize over wh... | |
| sound proof floor - practical examples? Sounds_Real - so you've poured the lightweight concrete and had a good result?the more i read, the more i think about it, it sounds like MLV which i think is like dynamat for car audio, which is layered/glued onto a 1/4" to 3/4" thick closed cell ... | |
| Ripping CDs For Quality Sound i don't know if i read it on here or somewhere else, but i guess one of the people from EAC created Easy Audio Copy, or as i call it EzAC. i'm not big into ripping tons of cd's but this one is painfully easy to use. there is also a program to down... | |
| lemon on on vandersteens ok. so they probably are lacquered then which makes sense and probably why the manual said pledge or similar et.al. so no need to try an "preserve" it since it's already taken care of. yep, no sunlight for me.oiled rubbed finished speakers would b... | |
| authentic space recordings so how about adding a twist - on an old telarc CD, 1812 overture, there's a point where i can hear the bells of the courtyard/quad, in some cases up and behind me! there's an old madonna cd (immaculate collection) where there's stuff going on all ... | |
| authentic space recordings thanks. i have been putting off getting jazz at the pawn shop (ironically i asked about that a few years ago, couldn't remember the name) to see if i can find a deal on it locally. otherwise i might just download it from HDtracks or Acoustic sound... | |
| Help with clicks and pops on PC audio i began to notice some drop outs with my dac, i found in the driver, i could set the playback priority "critical" and buffer size which i believe i now have at 4096kb (4mb) and that seems to have cleared things up for me. i only noticed the drop-o... | |
| Squeezebox 2 plus mac...which format.. hello. i'd start here: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/faq. i'm not a mac person, but generally the biggest concern is making sure you start with lossless compression. apple does have their own flavor of it. also maybe the SB Touch documentation... | |
| 90's recording jazz, in a diner yes that's it! jazz at the pawn shop! since you all mentioned the others i think i'll try one or two of those too. thanks!hm...i do have hdtracks so i might check it out tonight yet. off topic, eek i should search first, but i've wondered if hdtra... | |
| krell s300i power cord - is it rather small? i'll definitely invest in a decent power cord, but like you said i probably won't break the bank. in the meantime though i hope this cord doesn't evaporate. i don't listen to high volumes but still that darn krell can have a way of sucking power! ... | |
| room tuning 12ftx12ft room PS - i'm more likely to get a new place to live than to change speakers. there's no other room i have that i can use right now so i'm stuck. another thing, by overload, i've had experience in the past where you're just trying to move too much air ... | |
| room tuning 12ftx12ft room i guess my other thread intersects a little too closely with this one but they are different. anyway, i've got them fairly better now. they aren't tilted back as much and instead of pulling them out from the wall, i moved myself more into an equil... | |
| 2ce sig ii tilt and listening height i've seemed to set them up fairly well now. i popped in a few cd's now and things are clicking better. the speakers are about 7'8" apart and i'm actually a lot closer to them, about 4'7-9" from the back wall. i've lowered the back spike so they ar... |
