| Why not use mains as centers Do people really think the extra effort put into time aligning the drivers, making non-parallel cabinet faces, controlling horizontal dispersion, etc. becomes unimportant in the most important sepaker in the system? You can either think it is unim... | |
| Why not use mains as centers I think the only reason companies make special center dchannel speakers is so that they will not take up a lot of height, and fit on top of or underneath the monitor OK. If your speaker fits under or on top of the monitor, I would say it should be... | |
| House Wiring Defect? Rather than pulling apart outlet and breaker boxes, follow Zapper's advice and get a 3 light tester. It looks like a yellow 3 prong adapter, with 3 lights on the back. You plug it into the outlet, and it will tell you if anything is wired wrong. | |
| Where to get studio master downloads? I remember seeing something at GoodwinsHighEnd.com. You might have to search around on the site a bit - it is in conjunction with a music server they are selling. There is a picture of hte recommended DAC on the home page, and I think there is som... | |
| I need some advice on High End Car Audio... I spent years chasing this. The biggest thing I learned is that you can't go in to a store, listen to speakers in a board, and have a good idea of what they will sound like in your car. The car acoustics are so awful, anything that sounds good in ... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 filter cap upgrade I can't answer your question, but I will say that the Caddock resistor upgrade was worthwhile. It resulted in a less aggressive, more natural sound. | |
| Being given 2 custom systems but what to ask for? So does anyone else think this was a troll? I kind of suspected it all along - How many fantasies are touched on here? A woman entering a predominatly male group for assistance, a completely inexperienced woman admiring us for our knowledge, the s... | |
| Being given 2 custom systems but what to ask for? So what did you do? | |
| Most expensive From what I've seen from my Chinese friend's magazines, they are probably custom made by someone we've never even heard of, only available in Hong Kong. Who knows - maybe some crazy expensive stuff in Dubai, too, but that's just a WAG on my part. ... | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? I would worry more about damaging your ears. Eton drivers are only $200 each or so. Your ears are priceless. As a rough estimate, try talking at a normal volume level, as if you were talking to someone else in the room. If you can't hear your own ... | |
| Being given 2 custom systems but what to ask for? I owuld definitely stay away from tube gear - you do have to replace tubes every so often, and it's not like 40 years ago when you could run down to a local store and plug the suspect tubes in to a tube tester. Sometimes, when a tube blows, it dam... | |
| Being given 2 custom systems but what to ask for? So, Carrie, has this been helpful? Are these the kinds of responses you were expecting? What are you thinking of doing next? | |
| All Things Must Pass George was my favorite - I loved the Indian sounds he brought to the music. Although since I've learned abit about playing bass, I realize how radical Paul's playing was. | |
| Being given 2 custom systems but what to ask for? How does the settlement work? Do you have to buy from a particular store? Are there any limits on what you can chose - new vs. used? How much do you want to be involved as an audiophile, maintaining, tweaking and trading up, vs. just having a reli... | |
| Passive subwoofer...huh??? You may need an outboard sub and an outboard crossover - inother words, all the things that go into making a powered sub. If you need a good outboard crossover cheap, I would recommend the Behringer 2496 line - great sound for under $300, availabl... |
