| 300b lovers Fascinating read. I'm definitely stopping by the Spatial room at PAF | |
| millercarbon Millcarbon is doing fine. I bought some of his Cable Cradles for vibration isolation just a few weeks ago. Great product, might write a review | |
| subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it @grislybutter Sure, happy to try to help. The Nobsound are going to be more classy looking than the Auralex platform. They are brushed aluminum with some shine to them, and when the springs are compressed about halfway as they should be (no more t... | |
| subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it @grislybutter I previously suggested both the Nobsound springs and the Auralex Subdude in part because the Nobsound feet have free 30-day returns, so you can decide if any additional isolation benefit is worth it to you. They isolate in a differen... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities @rauliruegas Perhaps you misunderstood what I said. My sub has a line level output with passive HPF at 80hz. Good enough for me. Noticably less distortion in the woofers and better imaging using that route to the amp. | |
| Top two most important sound qualities @rauliruegas Appreciated. I’ve been looking into it lately after this was brought up by someone else recently. My sub does have a single ended HPF 80hz output, so I plan to try this today and listen for the difference. | |
| subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it @grislybutter Turning sideways may or may not help. You'd have to try it. Raising the height using a platform helps whether it's front or downward firing. Personally, I wouldn't bother with the slab, even though it's probably a good solution. I wo... | |
| subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it @grislybutter I initially missed your comment that it's downward firing. If it were me, I would also use a subwoofer platform with the Nobsound feet on top of it to get the sub raised further above floor level. This combo together will give you c... | |
| subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it I use Douk Audio Nobsound isolation feet, which uses springs, under my sub. If your sub isn’t falling apart at the seams, that should help. $30 for a set of 4 You can buy on eBay from the manufacturer here | |
| Top two most important sound qualities Having said that, I have an affinity for being in recording studios, so there isn’t a desire within me for my music to represent a live, staged affair which could block my listening enjoyment of most stuff I listen to. 🙂 | |
| Top two most important sound qualities I understand what is meant when people talk about an emotional vs cerebral type of listening, and I have two points to make about that, which you may find interesting. 1) It’s never either/or. No person is 100% one or the other. That’s not how... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities @rauliruegas Yes, I chose tonality + clarity, and clarity is primarily a consequence of minimized distortion. Cheers | |
| Subwoofers: add a JL Audio or switch to 2 Rythmic subs? @bdp24 If you try a Swiss Digital Fuse Box on your dual-opposed Rythmiks, your jaw will drop. Bass hounds only 💚 | |
| Top two most important sound qualities what’s the difference between imaging and soundstage depth? Isn’t imaging depth and with? (and height?) @grislybutter Imaging is interesting to me because the way I think about it, it’s a complex thing. It can be discussed in much more detail t... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @tweak1 You’re welcome, and if you end up going this route I’m open to help with getting it right. I don’t want to go into details here, but there’s certainly technique involved in tuning it, taking into account room size and shape, etc. The wide ... |
