| Laurie Anderson "Homeland" Many thanks, Richard. I'll check those out (I have Dark was the Night, and do remember the cut from "I'm not there" - his voice is unmistakable). Of course there is his contribution to "I'm Your Man", and one of my favorite cuts from him is the ti... | |
| The pursuit of bass... Bob - Since it's in this month's TAS you'd have to be a subscriber to the online edition to read the article. I am not. I just got the issue in the mail yesterday, so it should be on newsstands and in libraries shortly. I imagine in a month or two... | |
| The pursuit of bass... Just as a follow-up to my own question, I just received the latest issue of TAS which has a review on a DSP device for subs called the DSPeaker. Based on similar technology being used in subs that have integrated DSP feedback devices, like Velodyn... | |
| Laurie Anderson "Homeland" Antony has been one of my favorites for many years, and is probably one of my most played artists as far as vocals. Now I have to go out today and pick up this CD! | |
| Laurie Anderson "Homeland" Thanks for the heads-up. I'm a big fan since the 80's. I will definitely pick up a copy. | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Misstl - I only meant "extraordinary" in that the crossover point is probably a full octave higher than most standalone subs would more likely crossover at. Highly satisfied with my system, but still struggling with the room. I've also included co... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Yes, having a cello sound like a cello certainly does make sense, and in that case, a cello does sound more authentic to it's natural sound when (well-)augmented at the low end. The lowest note on a cello is C2 which is about 65 Hz. That doesn't ... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Mapman's #2 appropriately addresses Lear's comment. The biggest impact of my subs - BY FAR - is the peak/dip between 70hz and 120hz. I use 2 DRC subs and bassbusters and the measured response of my sytem in this range went from +/-14db to +/- app ... | |
| The pursuit of bass... Many thanks for the 411 on Pink vs White db!! | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Well, perhaps some of my issue with subs and people's description's of "deep bass" is that almost no acoustically produced music goes anywhere near as low as 28Hz. Some pianos don't even go that low. An organ, some pianos, perhaps a doublebass pro... | |
| The pursuit of bass... Jax2, can you borrow a sub? Perferably one with a phase reversal switch. It can be a small sub that doesn't go very deep. Try it along the wall behind the speakers, with the phase reversed. I'm hoping that its response will "zig" where your main s... | |
| The pursuit of bass... Duke - My current speakers have no ports, (no boxes either, for that matter - they are solid). They do have powered subs. The speakers they replaced did have ports, as did the speakers I had previous to those. You could look at the in-room graphs ... | |
| The pursuit of bass... Jax2, can you tell me what your main speakers are? That might help me come up with suggestions.One possibility is to rotate the speaker-listener-speaker triangle perhaps 15 or 20 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise, as seen from above. This wil... | |
| The pursuit of bass... Hey Duke - Can one correct (or compensate to any degree) for a room-generated suckout? My room has a consistent suckout with every speaker I've measured, at around 80hz , from the listening position. I understand that a low-end suckout is very com... | |
| cd storage CanAm is what I use. Outstanding tank-build quality and expandable as your library gets larger. Downsides are that they are heavy and expensive relative to shelving, but I really don't like looking at my collection - it is ripped to disc and put i... |
