Removing components from between the speakers
Simao;"My monitors are pulled forward of the salamander rack. A good 12" forward. So maybe it wouldn't make that much difference...".I wouldn't necessarily conclude that on my own without testing that assumption, but I think there's a simple enoug... 
Phasing out of Compact Disc
O_holter, yeah, I suppose it's possible I could be nuts on all that, but I just haven't come across anything that I could say that fits the facts any better for me, so far anyway. But, that sort of thing is fairly typical of big money. (Rush fans ... 
Phasing out of Compact Disc
I, too, think the cassette format (as it existed in from the late 70's to the mid 80's) was vastly underrated. It's just that I never met a prerecorded cassette that I liked, and you have to have a format you can record from (besides radio).Martyk... 
Phasing out of Compact Disc
Within just 6 months after the initial introduction of the CD in 1982, 50% of the existing LP manufacturing plants in North America had closed their doors - and they had done so at a time when CD sales still made up only a small fraction of the re... 
comparison of different dedicated AC line types?
Have no experience with "greenfield" conduit. At one time I did directly wire 12ga. romex to my system power strip, bypassing the duplex - just to see if there was a difference in sound with and without the (regular) duplex. Indeed there was. Much... 
If you could bring back one great artist that has
Don Ellis...gone far too soon. 
Phasing out of Compact Disc
CD's won't go away with a whisper or like a thief in the night. Like all changes that'll not likely be well received by everyone it will be a sudden announcement made unilaterally (by the powers that be) - and Then everybody will scream the sky is... 
Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance
Broadstone said:"I'm aware that many believe that any additional added artifacts are unnecessary and degrade sound quality. This argument seems based on the premise that if one were to put together a properly thought out system in the first place,... 
What speakers for 10k?
I think you've got the right attitude, Jughead. Keep right on truckin'... 
Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance
Good to see that you're hanging in there and that it's beginning to work out for you. 
What speakers for 10k?
Ok, I see lots of folks here are striking out here on the 'what-the-heck-are-we-even-looking-at' element of the Wavetouch technology and how it may relate to maker claims, hype, what have you. Having lived with the GT's now since June I'm sure I'v... 
You know you're an audiophile if--
Milpai, "You can confidently give advise on components that you never owned, or a technology that you have not used.And people take it.And your advise works!!"Great stuff...I try to refrain from doing that too often, but Lord help me, I think it's... 
Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier?
I've noticed HF ringing in my ears during speaker break-in in at least one case in the past, but can't recall ever noticing that with any amps I've used. But, EMI/RFI in the room may be playing a role, too, possibly...making the break-in effect of... 
What speakers for 10k?
Looks very much like the same tweeter used in the Motion 20 and 40XT, but not the 60. The 60 tweeter looks like a larger version, possibly. The Wavetouch tweeter is the Dayton AMT2-4. You can look them up at Parts Express and also see the graphs a... 
A whole new meaning to "live" music
Are you shure there were no signs of a mouse?? Maybe after the first cannon shot of the last time you played the 1812 Overture, the little guy exploded and that's all that was left of him...
