| Soundstage/Imaging and The Room Guys, I appreciate the ideas. Please keep in mind, however, that this is an empirical experiment, not one where I need to be concerned about the materials or the reflection. It's simply a way of finding out how much any given material works. I wou... | |
| Soundstage/Imaging and The Room One more correction: the 'room divider I mentioned is at 15' feet from the wall BEHIND me. So the 'wall' the bass wave mainly hits is around 26-28 feet, although, obviously, with the 'divider' my mom put up being porous, it goes 'through' the divi... | |
| Soundstage/Imaging and The Room Joeb:Thanks for the comments. The Alton Everest book is waiting for me at home. I'm curious, however, as to why you say this? Is it because it seems the room seems to be in multiples of 8? The figures were not exact for the room, just close to wit... | |
| Soundstage/Imaging and The Room Buscis:Given that I have the PS Audio, which is a power regenerator, I hope that the AC issue has been scotched pretty thoroughly. If not, I want my money back!!!! (smile)Nonetheless, I'll try it out. Empirical testing is the rule of the day. As f... | |
| Hale Rev 3s thanks, Ohala. I'm noticing that, with the Antique Sound Lab 1003 integrated, I'm not getting very good imaging. I'm wondering if that's a matter of using the amp on the 8 ohm taps, the low ceiling in the basement (less than 7' high and with joist... | |
| Anyone ever heard of the Shunyata and Cardas Yes.I have the Aries interconnect, which is QUITE close to the Nordost Quattro Fils. The Nordost is very slightly "cleaner" or so it seems. A better way to put it is that the halo of air around a Nordost has 10% humidity, while the air around the ... | |
| Hale Rev 3s One more thing: I'm driving the Rev 3s - for the moment - with an Antique Sound Labs 30-watt Class A integrated. It sounds okay, but obviously, when it hits crescendos, is less articulate than it could be. I've replaced the driver tubes - that was... | |
| Hale Rev 3s jrd:I'm interested in what wattage you think would be appropriate for the Hales. What factor would make the 200 watt amps unsuitable? I know the Hales drop to 4 ohm between 50-600 range. I've already spoken to Tash at Divertech and he seemed to be... | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? When a system sounds "thin," it means that there is a lack of body in the upper bass and lower midrange, which contribute to the fullness of voices and instrumental texture.The first place to start is at the beginning. My experience with Rotel gea... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Tazuser, I agree with your statements. I believe that the capacitance influences the signal that emerges at the output.My experience is not scientific, per se. I was a reviewer at one time and it seemed that the lower capacitance cables allowed mo... | |
| Review: Transparent Music Wave Super Speaker cable I also like the Transparent speaker cable.I'm most familiar with the Reference Series speaker cables.The only thing that you might want to look out for is that the Transparent (circa 1996) removes some texture from images, and puts a kind of "forc... |
