| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? djones51, you described why I decided to audition Mogami cables. If they are used in the studios to record music I can at least capture that much fidelity. I also took a page from the pros by going with active speakers although I don't use pro mon... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? Atmos does provide a 3D soundstage. Instead of just expending left to right and front and back it expands with a height dimension. An object based format is a more precise way for the engineer to mix the soundstage in 3 dimensions. I like stereo ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? The measurement I focus on the most is my room using Audyssey, ARC or REW. | |
| Correct/ proper setup for utilizing duel subs with a McIntosh C2600 preamp If you are going to place the subs outside speakers try facing them toward the walls with about a two-three inch gap. You might also want to try opposing corners such as front left and rear right. Finally, you may want to try bass traps in the c... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Master Series in the rig! Congratulations! I am using the Virtual Dynamics Master Digital Coax and it is very stiff. I am using Virtual Dynamics Nite power cords and it is very, very thick but yoy can bend them into the shape you want. In my system for ages and I won’t be ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @fleschler , re: cables I am using Mogami XLR in a 9.2.7 home theater with predominantly active speakers. The runs to my surrounds and surround height speakers are more than 10 feet. It works very well and I think to make it noticeably better woul... | |
| I’m about to push the button to get 2 SVS 3000 micros to add to ATC SCM40s. Subs do take time to break in, you may need to use bass traps to get the bass just the way you want: | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @fleschler , re: specs for cables Mogami lists fairly extensive specs with each cable it sells: https://mogamicable.com/category/products/W2319.php Mogami Gold: SPECIFICATIONS Configuration Part No. W2319 Cond... | |
| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... @yyzsantabarbara , thanks, I didn’t know that about either roon or jriver, never used convolution and if you primarily stream, great. | |
| Active Crossover Conundrum! @coachpoconnor , I would upgrade your room treatments or try the miniDSP with dirac room correction. I think you will find it easier and just as rewarding. My current speakers use active crossovers and yes, I love them, but the room treatments and... | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? I had my first "OMG" experience visiting The Wiz in NYC when I head Mission Speakers. Bought them and then found out the tower speakers I bought had matching center channel, surrounds and sub. I didn’t even know you could have a home theater and i... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @waytoomuchstuff , I would add a third most important number, 3) Can I return my purchase after 30 days , no questions asked. | |
| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... If you are going with a dedicated streamer get one with room correction software built in like the NAD C658 (dirac) or the Paradigm PW Link (ARC). You can do things with room correction that you can not do with a preamp or a DAC. It will not do mi... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @crustycoot , yes, Carver amps are rightly in the audio "Valhalla" of the 10 Most Significant Amps of All Time according to TAS. I am happy to say, deservedly so: | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @goofyfoot , I think you can get a very good streamer for less than $2K. Some vendors sell streamers that you can upgrade with cards you can swap out like PC board if you are worried about future proofing: https://nadelectronics.com/product/c-658... |
