| Speaker wire impedance? Speaker impedance? @gs5556 , basically you are saying that measurements I took with my meter set to ohms are probably not accurate? | |
| Speaker wire impedance? Speaker impedance? @kijanki , they are actually longer than usual runs because of the way I had my system set up in the last room. (The equipment was, and is, off to the side of the speakers as opposed to being in between the speakers. I'll measure the length, hop... | |
| Alternative absorbent acoustic material? Thanks for the input and the clarification on the Dow Corning 703. I did some searches and I think I am going to play around with some of that. | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids Thanks, @soix , I appreciate constructive input from all legitimate sources. The room I presently have my gear in (and I don't see moving to another room any time soon) is significantly smaller than yours, so I am trying to maximize speaker place... | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids So how far were the fronts of the speakers from the wall? @soix , do you subscribe to any rules of thumb on that subject, with untreated walls? The reason I ask is that when I posted my ’B Stock Revels’ thread, some of the feed back I received... | |
| Perhaps useless, but today is National Dog Day........ I did a midlife career change and I graduated from a RN program in '08. I won't go into all the gory details, but I often say that about the only good thing I got out of my new career was becoming a dog lover. Since '08, dogs have, as @stuartk ... | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others . . . and then there is the hard to find bootleg of when Alice Cooper and his band got together with The London Philharmonic and laid down an impromptu jam session. They rocked out on Dead Babies. | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others The version of The Wall that Roger Waters did ("Live In Berlin") featured at lest a couple of different orchestras on at least a couple of tracks. Elton John did a CD with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in '87. | |
| Perhaps useless, but today is National Dog Day........ we had a blast. Folks took this really seriously, which made it even more fun. There was probably some heavy betting going on. | |
| Perhaps useless, but today is National Dog Day........ I had to comfort my dog today and reassure her she would not be some evil neighbor’s dinner. She is very sensitive! ✌️ I've been telling my dogs that very thing since last night and all day today. I don't know if I have managed to convince them. | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? That's above my pay-grade, @thom_oz . | |
| Triangle Art Metis Horn Speakers Very impressive for the price point. I did a google and they are 60k a pair? Those are way way way out of my league. | |
| Recommendation for tube preamp I am going to go out on a limb and guess that every one is going to tell you to buy the same kind of preamp that they own. | |
| ??? 220v Audiophile Grade Ground Lifting Plug??? I have a vague recollection from back in the early '80s, of when I was stationed in the RPI, of plugging my strobe light into an outlet in an off base apartment I was living in, and smoking my strobe light. As I remember, it sure looked like a 1... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To A different post in this forum ('music') made me think of a couple: right after I read the review in Stereophile of Steve Earle's '97 releases, Train A Coming and I Feel Alright, I went out and bought them. It actually took me a while to start l... |
