| Townshend Springs under Speakers If it was cabinet resonance, then a board green glued to the bottom of the case might help.I would like to see some evidence that they reduce HD.Putting the speak on a plate of steel or rock would seem to make more sense to me. | |
| Please Suggest An Electronic Crossover I would be looking a MiniDSP with Dirac live and running an amplifier on each channel.Passive XOs would take a lot more skill, and probably…. Unless you are really good… the outcome would likely be better with the EQ of the MiniDSP. | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @itsjustme what did you replace the 2c with? and how much better is it now?Would like to understand what tubes I would be considering.Or maybe I need to fix up the one VTL monoblock that is not working. But I got the PrimaLuna to give them a whirl... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @stereo5 your recommendation of the dealer is at odds with my experience this morning…I am trying to buy a set of tubes from the Upscale folks, and I got this back after the phone rang to VM:“We stay away from giving really specific recommendation... | |
| 2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C) Had to go get a new antenna cable as we moved the OLED on top of the fireplace hearth.Listened to a sound bar while we were there… and after we left I asked the boss how she liked it. She said it was “screatching” to which I said, “yeah it seemed…... | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp OK…What do people do inside a breaker box to improve things? | |
| How long does Class A have? As my amps run on 230v I guess they draw 1/2 the current and 1/2 the power? | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp Most eu equipment is double insulated and they rarely run a separate ground. Most equipment which is to be sold there would be two pronged.A different cable may look nicer, but it is hard to not get the power into the gear with copper wires even i... | |
| How important is it to have identical speaker cable length? I would not fret…But when the capacitance is # pF/meter, and inductance is @ uH.meter then the number of meters can matter.,, and the resistance is also expressed in @/meter (or per foot in freedom units).It should make a measurable difference, wh... | |
| How long does Class A have? It seems likely, or possible, that mixed Class-A, A/B and Class-D could serve out three or 4 channels of sound to Tweeters, MR and woofers.But that would likely happen with speakers that are powered and have some DSP to serve as the basis for an a... | |
| a/v processor I have a Lyngdorf AV-Pre on the way.So I’VE no concrete idea yet on its 2-channel performance, but I report in a couple of months if you have not gotten to a solution by then.You are a bit limited in higher end gear choices.(I chose he Lyngdorf ov... | |
| Does listening to music increase your IQ? Or families with Mozart might have a high standard or living, and better diet to help the foetus development? | |
| Does listening to music increase your IQ? One could also read a book. That could be an easier sell. | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? I realised it was a skill when I went to audiologist who thought I was in the industry because I had trained the muscle in my ear, which tightens, to stay relaxed.They told me to just enjoy the music and stop trying so hard. And they let me fly ho... | |
| 2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C) Eric,Is the VCC is essentially a 3 channel sound bar?(Or when combined with Left and Right becomes 3 channel)I have a processor coming so i am hopeful it will output and EQ some better audio.And thanks. |
