| SLeeper lps of 70s.... Musicslug I was at two Art Ensemble of Chicago Concerts - one in Warsaw in late 70s and one in Chicago in late 80s. Concert in Warsaw (big auditorium) was beyond believe. They started an hour late because of electrical/equipment problems but playe... | |
| External hard drives and sound quality Mapman - Name brand of the drive is also very important. Names starting with sibilant like Seagate or Sony will bring more sibilant sound (logical) while name brands containing word "digital" - like Western Digital should be avoided at all cost (w... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Eldartford - Not only that small portion of classical requires high SPL but there are other genres like Blues, Jazz, Folk, World, R&B, Soul, Pop, Indian Classical, Reggae, Alternative & Punk, Latin etc. where very high SPL is not desired. ... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Eldartford - I've been (long, long time ago) at some very loud rock concerts. At one of them my lungs were vibrating when I opened my mouth. I don't have any desire for that now (other than cleaning lungs - quit 6 years ago). In scale of things on... | |
| Electrician's advice wanted: safely lifting ground Dan_ed - If device was designed with grounded chassis removing this ground creates danger of high voltage appearing on the metal and killing somebody. Yes, a lot of things would have to go wrong but that's how accidents happen. I'm not sure if GFC... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Oops - sorry for posting twice. | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Eldartford - I think we're mixing sound level and dynamic range. Dynamics are very limited by recording and media while loudness is also a function of listening distance. Sitting twice further in large room requires 4x more power to obtain same lo... | |

| External hard drives and sound quality Larry_s - I don't understand it either. If data is there the only difference could be jitter and it doesn't apply here since data is synchronous (clocked). In addition it goes thru disk cache buffers and output FIFO buffers. At first I thought it ... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? "You will be surpised to find out that SPL at your ear varies from zero to about 115 dB" Yes, but recorded music is compressed - tailored for average audio system. | |
| Dealing with a large TV between speakers Rrog - You're right, my panels (Johns Manville 817) are fiberglass. I don't know why I considered fiberglass a synthetic material (looks?). | |
| Dealing with a large TV between speakers Newbee - Thanks, I will try diffusive as well (or combination).I have no choice but to have it on long wall. One side of this long wall is a staircase (upstairs and downstairs) that I plan to open one day. | |
| Dealing with a large TV between speakers Rrog - Blankets were not synthetic (wool) and very thick (multiple layers). Being synthetic has nothing to do with it since sound absorbing panels I bought are purely synthetic and have flat absorption characteristic from 20kHz down to 100Hz.I was... | |
| Dealing with a large TV between speakers Rrog - why do you think this experiment means nothing? Main problem with TV, in my opinion, is that it might create secondary reflection from it's shiny sound reflective screen. If that would be the case then covering TV with sound absorbing mater... | |
| Dealing with a large TV between speakers Tholt - I have exactly same situation, same TV and similar stand plus exactly same Hyperion speakers. Speakers are on the long wall and sofa is on opposite wall. I agree with Shadorne that reflections from the wall (especially back wall) and not T... |
