| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? Thanks, Erik.Otherwise, interesting discussion, albeit not what I was asking about. Helmholtz resonators are not the first thing I'll consider. | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? @ebm Can't quite make out what you're saying. Are GIK/Tube traps better than Stillpoints? @djones I was on the long wall and had good results but the short wall (now that I've rearranged the room) offers a much deeper sound stage. Speakers can co... | |

| What kind of listening chair What I’ve learned is that there is a room mode in the vertical center of the room (as well as other places). So, consider that along with: ceiling height, ceiling/floor reflection points, tweeter height, and listening-position-ear-height. | |
| Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS" @grannyring Your recommendation seals it for me. I've heard so much about your great posts and work. You're in the pantheon with Almarg (RIP) as far as I've heard. Thanks for weighing in. | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? OP: Good question. It has been one of the thing most likely to abandon the forum. While you posed it as a rhetorical question, my assumption is that we can’t just "call on our better natures" to stop being angry. We need to think about why it’s ha... | |

| Power Cables for Class D Amplifiers The only time I investigated this question was regarding my REL sub. REL said they did extensive testing and do not see a benefit in higher gauge or quality cables. I did my own A/B test and did not hear a difference. It may be that a subwoofer is... |
