| Older vs. newer REL subs @ghdprentice My goal is to arrive at matched subs. It's a question of getting another (older) REL 328 or selling that and getting two newer REL models.@noromance Thanks. Faster is better in my low ceilinged space.@yakbob My purpose is music liste... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @mammothguy54 It adds great value to the thread because you did exactly the same experiment that I did and had exactly the same result. | |
| A few not-so-obvious things I learned doing room treatment https://www.minidsp.com/products/acoustic-measurement/umik-1 should be sufficient. I will be interested how the person you hired will help you. There are videos about how to use the software online that will give you some background and it might b... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" But without acoustic control of the room you cannot hope for the maximal manifestation of this quality in a room....In most of the case for sure...From my OP:the amp produces a sound stage that is nicely defined and articulate from left to right, ... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @decooney Good points. I’m curious about those.@mahgister Rube Goldberg machine is not a put down. They work, after all. They are just very elaborate. Your system fits into this category and works because you've been patient and clever enough to s... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @sbank Glad you like the thread. Appreciate the amp suggestions and your point about "when mated with appropriate speakers also capable of recreating depth" is a crucial condition — and no, we're not investing in random! As Dana Carvey channeling... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @jjss49 Nothing forcing me to read it. Others can decide if my point was fair. I didn't post in haste or anger. Annoyance, yes, but not in anger. | |
| Denafrips/Vinshine not everything they were built up to be. Vinshine is a company located in Asia. Telling its owner that you were raised by vets who fought in Asia (Vietnam, Korea) is not necessarily going to prove to them that you had a good upbringing. Their experience of the American military's role an... | |
| What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive? Never make mistakes.Overconfidence: the perfect example of the über mistake, right there. So, a couple mistakes as I built my system up from nothing. 1. Bought speakers which were too hard to drive and then had to figure out how to get a powerful ... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @decooney Exactly. @ speakermasterSolid state amps do not play depth in the recording unless the recording has depth information but when you play a good recording they will have a lot of depth especially if your speakers are two or more feet out ... | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes Oh, one other thought.Folks here have brought out an important distinction I overlooked. A hoax can either be a completely useless device or technique that actually does nothing, or it can be hyperbole about something. This distinction is importa... | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes So many great responses! Loving this!I hear folks here about "one persons hoax is another person's tweak," with the CD pen being a good example. But this one seems, so to speak, a genuine hoax:"The Lexicon BD30 CD player that had Oppo BDP-83 guts,... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" Planning on upgrading the preamp after warranty is expired. | |
| Your tube preamp and ss amp thread Good question. If anyone has tried tube preamp + SS amps, plural, I'm curious whether there were sonic differences traceable to the kind of solid state. E.g., tube + class Avs. tube + class A/Bvs.tube + class Detc. | |
| Synergistic Research Fuses vs cheaper ceramic fuses Very hard to teach fundamental reasoning skills so this will probably be a waste of time but someone somewhere might get something out of it. So here goes. Always dignifying the learner, eh? |
