| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @twoleftears Perhaps a different positioning for a different amp is called for — that’s why my question included "Or, perhaps, am I failing to do something -- such as re-position my speakers?" That said, I’ve done measurements regarding impulses (... | |
| TONE @jdane Agree 100%. Whether it's a violinist 3 feet in front of me or The Ramones or the Chicago Symphony, everything in our sound space must -- at the very least -- be reduced in size, most of the time. If one has an enormous listening room, well,... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @djones51 https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_ledr.phpThank you so much for this webpage. I'm going to make good use of this. Really looks great!I've added photos to my system — which is still very much in "proto type" aesthetically and cord ma... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @djones51 So far, the consensus is that amp type affects soundstage a lot. So far, if I'm paying attention, only the Sunfire 300 amp has been given props for an amazing soundstage.The SET 400 is 225 wpc into 8 ohms. | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @arafiq I’ve done extensive room treatments including some fairly elaborate things to deal with reflections. These have helped create the depth I’m enjoying with my tube amps and why I feel that the difference in depth must be due to the only vari... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @atmasphere Thanks, Ralph. FYI, your tube amps are my aspirational goal down the road. Would you mind naming a couple solid state amps you have found to be capable of sound stage depth equal to tube amplifiers?@rh67 My speaker placement is optimi... | |
| TONE Some representations are more pleasing than others even if they are not "realistic."I like impressionism more than hyperrealism in painting because it conveys something meaningful with the way it represents.My search for the sound I was looking fo... | |
| The Placebo Effect @artemus_5 Thank you. | |
| The Placebo Effect Interesting post. Just a quick question for clarification. You write,"Bottom line, placebos can result in perceived improvement even where no actual improvement exists."Since perception (and pain, of course) is strongly associated with physical me... | |

| Dynaudio Heritage Special or Gershman Studio 2?? First of all, I love Finland and have spent a lot of really wonderful weeks in Helsinki. It’s a musical town.My experience with Dynaudio is limited to newer Evoke series speakers and also the Special 40. I liked the Evoke 20s better than the 10’s ... | |
| Noise issues that can’t be corrected. @jumia Thanks! You can consider us working together on this one! Good luck! | |
| Noise issues that can’t be corrected. I hear you about noise pollution. My parents live out in rural Long Island, on an acre. They only have a few neighbors, but over the years, more and more hire teams of yard people to manicure their lawns and property on a weekly basis. It was not ... |
