| Mono VS Stereo I too like mono sound. However, not to detract from your sonic joys, but do try repositioning your spkrs, as Shadorne suggests or even a bit further away (¬5'); the experience will be better for both mono & stereo material.Keep in mind that "m... | |
| Audio Physic Scorpio II room problems If I understand correctly, your are placing the spkrs across the 6m wall, firing down the 4m wall (the other way round would've been better).Just position the spkrs ¬1,7- 2,0m apart (centre-to-centre) with a toe-in according to taste & you're ... | |
| Frequency Range - Bookshelf Speakers The differences are that,* the (purported) 30 Hz model's performance will be much more stretched * the 30Hz bookshelf may interfere with the subwoof, thereby compromising integration.* bookshelves reproducing 50 Hz & lower, in tune & time ... | |
| How to run speaker wires... Parallel conductors create capacitance -- albeit, tiny if reasonably far from one another (say ¬2"). Twisting solves that, creating slight inductance... You can even combine: cross pairs of equidistant conductors.I have preferred the parallel meth... | |
| pass XA and Quad Speakers XA 100 should drive the ESL 63 very well; likewise with the 9series.I prefer the later 63s to the new series -- but keep in mind that the new Quads play louder and more extended than the 63s. An old trick is to use two pairs of 63s one on top of t... | |

| Are contact treatments worth the money? Hi Tvad -- excuse the dealy. Here are a few possibilities one or two or three or four. Frankly I don't remember which one I've got. I clean this stuff quite often & reapply (2-3 x year), however, for fear of migration.Regards. | |
| Are contact treatments worth the money? Bicycle man Try keeping your contacts clean and tight in the first place; and, some extra money in your pocket.All excellent advice. However, let me insist that conductive grease is usefully and successfully applied to moving /sliding surfaces to ... | |
| Utopia Skala / Alto speakers anyone hear them both I'm just trying to see what I want to do to the system I am buildingI can already see what: you're going to throw money at it:)Back to the question. Scala vs Mezzo Utopia, correct? If so, Scala without doubt. The sonic homogeneity is far superior,... | |
| Pro's/Con's Of audiophile TT With all due respect, have you considered refurbishing your Kenwood or tweaking (the arm, especially)? It used to be a good product in its day. Are you certain the Scout will be an improvement?(As to an arm lift, look for the device Mapman describ... | |
| DIY interconnects ... found MUCH success Timtim -- quick question please: are the three 30g twisted or parallel? | |
