| Dedicated Electrical I agree @millercarbon. Perhaps consider using MCC (metal case cable) if you have the opportunity to run a new (dedicated) circuit for your front end. I always do but I’m an anal audiophile lol. Though a bit more expensive…the metal casing (if pr... | |
| Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech? @johnk …”True Dat”!! | |
| Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech? Stereo listening is certainly dated tech…mono even more so. I prefer stereo. Another dated tech I prefer is “constant directivity” which eliminates the narrow “sweet spot” listening. Reason being is I enjoy mulling around the room…and also having... | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects I thought proper xlr cables used “common mode rejection”? meaning the two half signals being 180 out of phase… thus cancelling out any real EMI/RFI when summed at the termination? in other words, XRL cables with no shielding at all should work j... | |
| Help Building an Audio Room Yes a rectangle is better than a square shape for your room. But what’s better again is no “parallel” walls (no square corners). Why not make the front wall (speaker wall) 13’ wide and back wall 15’ wide? Now the the left and right side walls a... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Most driver manufacturers measure sensitivity while mounted in an anechoic chamber running 1000Hz. That’s why it’s important to look at the entire F.R. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Because the speaker manufacturer displays frequency response graphs for each loudspeaker they sell. i’ve also run sweeps myself, seeing the same response. My experience this is not a particularly unique frequency response using high sensitivity ... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? After reading (and re-reading) all of "bache" posts, I think I understand what he's saying- "High sensitivity loudspeakers roll off rather high in the bass department". Forgive me but Isn't this captain obvious? Are there many folks that listen... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @tannoy56 I only ask sincerely and not to disparage “bache”… but how can you even make sense of what he said? | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @jslateiv Thanks for helping me understand the difference (or should I say no difference) between the two power supplies. | |
| Beginner improvements for room acoustics; very helpful Darko video on reverb and RT60 If possible always ceiling first. It’s obvious. It’s usually the shortest boundary (floor to ceiling) and can be the most offensive … When building studios it’s the very first thing addressed …oven when vaulted it’s called “lifting the ceiling” | |
| K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room? @speed005 did you ever make a move? @audiokinesis absolutely! I am a proud owner of 7pi corner horns, and I’ve never heard anything so relaxed and smooth, yet dynamic and punchy ant the same time (in my typical domestic settings) They put my fl... | |
| For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system. @wfowenmd “My only regret will be realized if on the occasion of death, my wife of 40+ years sells my equipment at the prices I claimed to have paid for my system.” LOL!LOL!LOL! Time to prepare your solemn “only open after my death” letter! | |

| Beginner improvements for room acoustics; very helpful Darko video on reverb and RT60 Apologies that was meant for the "diffusor panels/room treatment questions" thread |
