| Who puts their speakers right up against the back wall and why? Someone once provided me with a link for bookshelf speaker placement, and it showed the front face no more than 25" from the untreated wall (which seems awfully close to me) and I believe the rationale had to do with the reflections from that wall... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I agree that it would be best to try the Marantz SA-10 and Esoteric players before buying (new or used). But there are only a small handful of Marantz dealers in South FL and haven't found one yet that as the SA-10 on display that I could listen ... | |
| Single ended = large images? 4 ft violin, 12 ft wide piano etc. I’ve always thought that with most recordings with a piano in them, the piano usually sounds nearly as long as the small room I am set up in . . . but it’s been so long since I’ve been to live music (with or w... | |
| Who has experience with audiophile circuit breakers? If the circuit breaker is treated, It will void the UL listing. The web site doesn’t describe the process. I'd hate to give my homeowners insurance company a hole to wriggle through in the event of some kind of mishap. | |
| What is your top sexy song? "I take off my watch and my earrings My bracelets and everything Lie on my back and moan at the ceiling Oh my baby Think about you and that long ride I bite my nails, I get weak inside Reach over and turn off the light Oh my baby" Right In Time/... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? ....20' above it, 50 yards from the mudfield....slept through the night mostly, waking to heavy rain and the winds. Nil damage. @asvjerry , straying from OP's topic, I am happy to read that you were spared from the major devastation. It was ... | |
| What is your top sexy song? Right In Time/Lucinda Williams and Essence/Lucinda Williams. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @asvjerry , were you in the flood zone? | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? One question: do you experience some systems as more rhythmically engaging than others? Some are definitely more engaging for me than others are; however I never attributed it to having to do with "rhythmically". | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? The first time I ever heard of it was right here on A'gon, and I didn't get it either. I mean, it seems to me that "pace, rhythm and tempo" is what the band either did or didn't do during the recording session, and if they did do it, the rest was... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? This sort of reminds me of the discussion which turned into an argument about the meaning of "musical." | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? I have read many negative comments on forums over the years about Cary’s service department. Plus bad customer service. Are they really to be avoided? If so I’m scratching the SPL-05 pre amp off of my list. @charliee , I am biased because I re... | |
| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? You know what they say: "garbage in--garbage out." | |
| SACD Players First thing to be aware of is that most SACDs contain both muti-channel and two-channel (stereo), as well as a completely separate CD layer. "Most"? That has not been my experience in the time I have been buying SACDs. I'd go with "some." | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC I completely sold out to digital in 1989 and as time progressed, so did the quality of the CD playback I bought. Sometime in the late '90s I was listening to three pieces of digital separates (Rega transport, Genesis Time Lens, Muse Model 2 DAC)... |
