| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? @folkfreak Apology accepted but completely unnecessary from my perspective.In no way shape or form am I experiencing a sonic signature that is harsh and ultimately undesirable. In fact, this is partially what I’ve cured by installing the foam. If ... | |
| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? @david_ten I’ve payed attention. For one, I disagree with the presumption that "treatments from GIK are quite cheap". I have personally been in communication with GIK. Price/value ratio is always a personal matter and opinion, with respect to what... | |
| Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?... this is what is wrong with America in general. Folks who either can not read well, refuse to read more than 100 characters, or opt to boost their post count artificially by infusing ridicule to those who are expressive. While true, it remains ... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Fairly certain I know which dac is the best under $3500. @nitewulf And I'm fairly certain I know what you know in this regard :)I've read it could be considered the best DAC under $5000. :) | |
| Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound? .... We are talking true reference type speakers (with commensurately costly manufacture process) even if the word “reference” is way over used to market nearly every speaker. True reference is not a “silly” concept it is however expensive and ver... | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs This is pure BS, because if they’re not used they are not connected to any active amplification circuitry!!True that an unused input is not connected to active amplification circuitry. However, it is somewhat irrelevant within the context and spir... | |
| Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?... And the beautiful real wood construction of my Daedalus Ulysses speakers was a significant factor in my decision to purchase them.I agree the Daedalus craftsmanship where their wood work is concerned is spectacular. From their website "They are co... | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs @almarg Thank you!!!! Trust me, I shall heed your advice. | |
| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? But seriously, acoustic foam is one of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on naive and gullible audiophiles.FALSE!We’ve already gone over this in at least one other thread. Consider that GIK Acoustics acknowledges that 4 inches of acoustic foam pa... | |
| Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?... In my case, aesthetics played a primary role in the setup of my gear, and I tweaked placement from there. Even though I have a "dedicated listening room", it opens up to a "dedicated dining area" at the back, and the front has "dedicated double hu... | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs If it’s not used why switch to it?? And negative affect to what??I believe it has already been clearly established as FACT [on the basis of this and other related (shorting inputs) threads here on Audiogon], that shorting unused inputs **can only ... | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs Buy switching to an unused input your subjecting the input first active stage to an open circuit. The simple fix is not to switch to it, if it’s not used.By putting blanking/shorting plugs on the unused inputs doesn’t make the used inputs sound an... | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs May I get a consensus please on the merits or lack thereof of shorting a USB B input? Reason I ask is my amp has a USB(B) DAC which I'm not using. If I switch to that input and raise volume to 12 or beyond there is, not surprisingly, some amount ... | |
