| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? George - thank you for chiming in. Glad to hear that no sonic purity is being lost at 8-9 o'clock than further around the volume dial.Clio09 - Hemi-cylindrical (polyfuser) diffusers are much easier and faster to make than Skylines of similar size.... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Clio09 - thanks for taking the time to do your homework before your great answer above. While I intend to purchase the LIO-8 DAC I am currently using an antiquated Sony 5 disk player (CDP-CA7ES) which has an output impedance and voltage of 10K ohm... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Fellow Lighspeed owners - The listening level that I use has my Lightspeed volume at about 8-9 o'clock as my 97dB efficient speakers don't require many watts to crank them up (I'm using an Art Audio PX25 SET amp with 6watts/ch. by the way).Am I mi... | |
| Most effective Room Treatment for slap echo, etc Have you done any of the things I suggested? | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? Huntermusic - have you considered clocks by Antelope? They make pro-grear stuff which is usually as good as if not better than most audiophile stuff at less cost. Their clocks are their sweet-spot. | |
| Pass X150.5 vs. X250.5 Ccanino,Adding to the room treatment remarks made by Bryan and Ckoffend, I might suggest you temporarilly take your side wall 1st reflection absorbers and move them to your back wall (behind the listening position); reflections from the back and f... | |
| Asymmetrical Room Treatment Ckoffend - Are you asking if the original poster (Chrisar) is using 4" thick absorbing panels? I think he said he is. Whether it's a 4" thick panel or 4" diameter circular trap or a 4" radius semi-circular trap, 4" is still only 4" and is the bare... | |

| Asymmetrical Room Treatment John,Great question you ask. Whats happening at the ear is the sum of direct and indirect reflections which are attenuated and delayed versions of the original direct reflections in other words reflections of reflections. The reason sound repro... | |
| Asymmetrical Room Treatment I guess if the glass window was several inches thick then maybe the bass waves will reflect off it . . . The size of a low freq wave is huge in comparison to a thin pane of glass so as I said before it will easily pass right through it. You need o... | |
| Asymmetrical Room Treatment Hi Chris,Thanks for your additional info. I have a different perspective and/or interpretation than one of the other replies so let me explain.Back Wall Treatments: (1) A window on your back wall will act as the perfect bass trap the long freque... | |
| Asymmetrical Room Treatment Chrisar - I feel your pain. ;)I would tend to agree with your thinking; as the door way behind your left speaker is for all intents and purposes a very effective and broadband absorber then so too must the wall behind the right speaker to match. H... | |
| Diffusers for magnepan speakers Maplegrovemusic,Nothing can kill the great sound of your speakers like the indirect reflections off the front wall, especially with di-bipole speakers, so you're heading in the right direction.Regarding front wall treatment, why are you considerin... | |
| Most effective Room Treatment for slap echo, etc Your Constraint: Easily removable adhesive so as not to strip the paint or stucco. -> This may limit the weight of what you can hang on a wall which is correlated to acoustical thickness, generally speaking. Because the popular fiberglass fil... | |
| Room Treatments Theaudiotweak - I agree that round and angled serfaces help keep the audio energy within the room and in the former case act as diffusion, minus the temporal affects. I've found the round hemi-cylindrical diffusers within my room a nice touch and ... |
