| Loud vs. Tactile Bass Many years ago I replaced 2.5 way with a bit larger 3 way speakers - same 30Hz extension, same amount of bass, equally tactile. The difference was in the sound of the bass - attack and decay, became more natural, more melodic. IMHO it is not bet... | |
| Wool Blankets as Room treatment Check out on second page sound absorption vs frequency. I have 2" thick 817 panels (never installed). | |
| Wool Blankets as Room treatment It will help with slap echo, but it will do nothing for mid and low frequencies. Put wool blanket over your head while playing music - what you can hear will be reflected from the wall. Even 2" thick double density (heavy), acoustic rigid fiber... | |
| Which external SSD for music streaming? To play CD music you need at least 0.18 MB/s. Any SSD will do. Buy extra one for backup. | |
| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. All Jeff Rowland amps use Cardas clamp for spades (or bare wires). It does not accept bananas. It creates extremely strong connection and rotating spade won't make it loose. I have small Rowland 102 with speaker connector and it is great (othe... | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? I bought once great speakers from few states away and then company went bankrupt. Why? Because of poor dealership base. They had only 3 places for whole US to demo them. Still love them, but there is no support in case of any problems. | |
| Easy Come Easy Go…….BOOM! Sorry for your ordeal. 63,000 amps as a peak current is not that much. I have two Siemens protectors in parallel mounted in panel - each rated 60,000 amps peak. The question is how they rated your surge, peak or average and if average then over wh... | |
| Fiber Internet You attach your own Wifi router to the Verizon modem or router via Ethernet. And when you do set ATT modem/router to IP pass through mode, to avoid double address translation. My ATT doesn't allow "Bridge" mode, since they want to keep some f... | |
| ENGLISH ELECTRIC EE-1 High-performance network noise isolator ? Yay or Nay? Jitter is not present in transfers since Ethernet doesn't work in real time (data in packets) and I doubt that electrical noise injected by the cable can affect sharp edges of DAC's internal clock enough to create audible jitter artifacts. Electr... | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... While I don't disagree with what you say, I worry about loops of cable are the basic inductor shown in any electrical physics book. It is a small inductor, but it is an inductor. Coiling wire increases inductance, but coiling cable doesn't, s... | |
| jitter Jitter is created in D/A or A/D conversion by uneven/jittery conversion clock. Jitter produces added noise and once conversion is completed it becomes permanent. We can prevent D/A conversion jitter few ways before conversion, but in case of A/D... | |
| Why whole house surge protectors are not enough @erik_squires +1 Clamping voltage increases with clamping current. It can be 250Vpeak (line to neutral) at 1mA, but it will more than double at few thousand of amperes. Surge current will be reduced by inductance of long power line, but not w... | |
| Help me select few vinyl LPs Thank you everybody for help. So far I got 1. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (180g) 2. Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out / Time Further Out (180g) 3. Gil Evans - Out of Cool (180g) 4. Ike Quebec - Heavy Soul (180g) 5. Here It Is - Tribute to Leonard C... | |
| Help me select few vinyl LPs @drrsutliff I found so far in Tone Poet series "Here it is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen" - seems like safe choice. @ghdprentice Amazon (quick delivery) sells also 180g Kind of Blue but not a Mono recording. Perhaps not the same sound quality, bu... | |
| Help me select few vinyl LPs @dogberry I cannot ask him (it's surprise) and we see each other maybe once a year (he is in Europe), but as far as I remember he is not into progressive Jazz or Heavy Metal Rock. Kind of Blue would be safe choice, but he likely has it. @danma... |
