| Parents need clear sounding 2 ch HT Room treatments will reduce reverberation and improve clarity. When I bought acoustic panels warehouse clerk showed me conference room that they treated 100% with acoustic fiberglass foam (floor to ceiling between studs). Sound was amazing. I've n... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Martykl, Yes taming low bass might be difficult but it is doable. My panels won't work well below 125Hz, according to datasheet, but 4" panel would. I hope that putting 2" panels on opposite walls will increase damping at low frequencies. I will k... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Martykl, It is not only issue of loudness but also extended decay time. I also feel that additional pieces of electronics in the signal path don't improve clarity.I agree with Ja2austintx assessment: fix the room, then decide. | |
| Any hope for SACD? I suspect that SACD was created partially to introduce format that cannot be copied. Unfortunately greed killed it at the very start. Price of over $30 for SACD was about double of CDs while royalties and cost of manufacturing was about the same. ... | |
| Bad CDP but good transport? Tiofelon, DVD players are bad CDPs but have pretty good transport. | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg wrote: "None of this discussion matters much to me. I am merely stating my experiences"Tbg, It is discussion forum. If discussion does not matter to you then perhaps fuse REVIEW would be a better format? Once discussion started (with your part... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Zmanastronomy, I've tried it but it has to be very loose fabric and it also reduces bass punch. I had more room resonances with previous speakers (two 6" woofers) than new (two 8" woofers). It could be that larger woofers deliver more sound direct... | |
| Fuses that matter. Marakanetz, don't forget that for Russian Orthodox fuse should always point to the east while for Muslims direction of Mecca is pretty much mandatory. | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Walls create bass peaks. They amplify frequency (and multiples) that is f=1135/(2*L) where 1135 is speed of sound in ft/s and L is distance between front and rear wall (2 is for traveling back and forth in order to add). Larger room should help bu... | |
| Fuses that matter. "A good design will minimize or eliminate sensitivity to those differences, within the range over which they can be expected to occur"Exactly. I'm surprised that people can hear difference in DACs and preamps - electronics that has regulated power... | |
| Frequency Response? Pbnaudio, We don't have exactly dry air here (Chicago) but I will settle for 1135ft/s which is speed of sound in dry air at 75degF - and this is my last offer.Same example with new numbers: 1135/18/2=31.5Hz | |
| Frequency Response? 62bakes - One way they increase extension of the speaker is to put second woofer for the lowest bass only (higher frequencies filtered out by xover). For two way speakers it is called 2 1/2 way speaker (pretty much like adding subwoofer). I suspec... | |
| Frequency Response? Lowest bass string E=41.2Hz With 5 or 6 string basses lowest frequency is still 41.2Hz because it is only for the ease of playing (music is typically written for 4 string bass). The issue here is not only extension but quality of the bass. My new ... | |
| Frequency Response? Your room will amplify bass frequency that corresponds to distance between front and back wall. If this distance is 18' then room will amplify 1150/18'/2=32Hz (where 1150 is speed of sound in ft/s and 2 is for travel forth and back to add). | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod Bondmap - Read my previous comment from the other thread:"Mofimadness - What John Siau is talking about is update rate of D/A IC. This IC (AD1853) is updated in Benchmark DAC1 from asynchronous rate converter (AD1896) at about 110kHz independently... |
