| Speakers Women Like Mewsickbuff, what a great post...jogs a few memories of my own. Dunno how ’rare’ female audio buffs are exactly, I just know I don’t see posts like that every day. Thanks!To all: My wife and I have gone round and round in the past about my system.... | |
| Which Deoxit...? Yes, the Deoxit D5 is the cleaner to use and Deoxit Gold G100L is the preservative to apply afterward...even if the contacts are not gold. | |
| Need Help: What In My Home Electric System Killed the Sound? Hi Whitecap, the first thing I think I would do in your situation is to simply sit tight and wait...at least a month to 6 weeks or so. Home electrical systems can be thought of as a ’single large circuit’ that, with your own typical use patterns, ... | |
| The illusion of soundstage. Sidewalls were (and still are) about 6 feet on one side and the 1st reflection point on the other side doesn’t exist since there’s only 3 feet of the side wall extending out from the front wall before it gives way to being open to the rest of the ... | |
| The illusion of soundstage. I imagine you could think of depth itself as a direct result of width in 2-channel playback. 2 speakers are already casting, according to their dispersion patterns, a given width into the room...where those patterns tend to overlap the most is whe... | |
| Dynamics In A Speaker Another key, more practical, and sometimes overlooked, design aspect when it comes to dynamics are the crossovers. Passive crossovers typically rob considerable amp power - most especially in the dynamic peaks which can be rather blunted and compr... | |
| Bass traps - too many choices!! Mofi, understood. I tried them in a sealed room I had before my current room, which is now open floor plan, and they did pretty well, although the bass problems in that room happened to be not all that severe, at least not after I had gone through... | |
| Bass traps - too many choices!! One thing I should point out, a clarification really, lest anyone wants to follow up on my post above. There is only one real sticking point with the Cathedral Panels and that has to do with the fact that they deal with wave pressure and not wavel... | |
| Bass traps - too many choices!! What you may need for your problem may simply be a pair of Cathedral Sound Panels. They are tiny, a snap to install, inexpensive and very effective on frequencies south of 200 Hz, even down close to 20 Hz. But beware, they operate on a completely ... | |
| I'm a Consumer Reports sort of guy. Is there a pla This reminds me of the time there was a story floating around among my teachers when I was a senior in high school, back in 1978 (god I’m old...). As they told it Dr. Amar Bose (yes, that Bose) was seated on a flight next to the guy who had starte... | |
| Digital crossovers The DEQx has always indeed looked to me like an intriguing piece of gear and even more so now in view of Roscoe's comment above about the sound of the DAC. If I weren't enjoying my current setup so much I believe I could be tempted to "kick the ti... | |
| Digital crossovers Yes, it is currently a lot of bother to go this route. Agree with you, too, on the Avante Gard. You’d think by now someone would’ve figured out a semi-reasonable way like that to do it....even if it was a proprietary approach that did mean sacrifi... | |
| DAC recommendation in the $1k range A new kid on the block that seems to flying under the radar so far is Gustard Audio's DAC X20. $870 delivered (you'll probably want the USB option) on Amazon. Normally I don't go in for Chinese gear, but this may turn out to be an exception for me... | |
| Digital crossovers On the face of it, I tend to agree with George here since at least one of the things we may be dealing with here is having 2 D-A conversions in the signal path...first from your CDP/DAC and then the digital crossovers. What's more is that this las... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I honestly don’t have the answers to any of your Q’s. I have no way of knowing if Bob is even utilizing conductive ceramics in any of his designs. But, as far as your Q’s above go, I was rather hoping you could tell me. ;>) |
