Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
What I have in mind is a team of trained professionals hired out to act as bass traps by standing in corners during demonstrations at the big shows or even for individuals, on a case by case basis. Special dress requirements for the human Helmholt... 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
Costco_emoji, obviously I’m referring to standard temperature pressure at sea level. You can ignore the kinetic VELOCITIES that Steve was trying to promote. I never said the speed of sound isn’t a function of temperature, Mr. Smarty Pants. Stop tr...

Quick interrupt. If he really was a liar wouldn't his pants be on fire? 🔥

Addendum, Ooops I almost forgot. The tree in big pot may have helped the bass but it hurt the sound in other ways. Ways you did not detect because you weren't expecting it. Is that the opposite of expectation bias? You decide.

+1 toddverrone. At least we know it's not the tree or the plant or the flower. 😄 That gives me an idea for a new tweak. 😬

Whoa! Holy guacamole! Oh, so this îs what happens when a measurement fanatic encounters someone who disagrees with him? Geez, I was under the impression the whole amplifier measurement thing - especially THD - went out the window 40 count em years...

Most likely expectation bias. 😀 Besides, everybody knows plants don’t affect low frequencies. Can you think of a single scientific theory why they would? Maybe there were other people in the room when you were measuring, or something else affected...

toddverrone, that’s nice but how does it sound? you might be the exception that proves the rule. :-) or you could be a plant. :-) 
Blue Fuse for Primare Pre32
xti16They also state that the fuse is directional. So try it both ways. I know it sounds strange but just before I put the original back in I reversed mine and it sounded like the stock fuse. I will wait a while before upgrading to the blue as I j...

wgutzI want the empirical study, the double blind statistical results and logarithmic adjusted scope printouts before I will ever believe live plants deteriorate the sound. Especially those live and floating roses.>>>>I suspect the who... 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
innaIt is worth it if you are up to what is involved. And the cost will be very high, it has to be.One assumes you’re referring to psychological costs. 😄

tomic601"which does bring up a good point....ever notice all those live plants in the Vandy booths at shows all over the world ?"Very ironic and probably one of those old wives tales audiophiles sometimes tell since any live plant or flower in the...

Anyone who has ever played around with room treatments, you know, like Tube Trap, Echo Tunes, Skyline diffusers, Helmholtz resonators, tiny little bowl resonators, Mpingo discs, crystals, things of that nature knows that it takes a while to locate...
