| Why do people like reel to reel players? Only used it for copying or making own recordings. Didn't know until last week (one similar discussion here) that they ever made PRE RECORDED reels!!! Quality is MUCH better than cassette since the tape machine lays a much longer/faster 'track' o... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Even so the (main system) room is huge, the floorplan for the listening area ("room") is not that large (20x20, one side, one back wall). The speakers are located at a 'half' or '3/4' wall, and can only be 2 feet away from that wall). https://dr... | |
| A little gift for my fellow audiophiles Tried downloading, but only installs Winzip. Is there a way? | |
| Robert Plant The image of his pants has been burnt to his image I have of him. Befor YouTube (never SEEN LZ and Plant before that), I loved him (and LZ). Its getting better now at his old age (fat and ugly, but still singing GRAET). | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging How to approach the selection? See if something of the recommendations shows up nearby that can be auditioned Listen. If promosing: Negotiate 'try at home' audition or return option. Sell other stuff to finance. | |
| The dangerous world of Reel-to-Reel Tape We all now the 'cone area' comparison (neglecting the effect of the throw to determine SPL) for woofers. Does this also play into the midrange cones? My concern: bookshelf speaker plus subwoofer(s) to "FILL" (SPL) large room with sound in th... | |
| The dangerous world of Reel-to-Reel Tape I was referring to the lifetime of the RECORDINGS ON the tape. I heard that also vibrations (for example keeping it in the car) will erode the quality and reorient the magnetic particles. My VHS tapes (20 years?) have lost pretty much everything, ... | |
| The dangerous world of Reel-to-Reel Tape Sidenote/unrelated: Just curious: how long do recorded magnetic tapes (here: R2R, but also 8 track, cassette, VHS, etc) LAST before they loose their information? | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta @martinman So with the 2 subs, not playing loud enough? | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta @martinman What do you mean by 'too small for my room'? Not reaching the SPL you desire? In the mid range or bass? or just 'not loud enough'? I did not see a subwoofer in your equipment list. I use a subwoofer (in both of my systems, one very larg... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging As far as small bookshelves go, what about: Dali Oberon 3 B&W 606 S2, 707S Kef LS50 Meta, Kef R3 Sonus Faber Lumina II, Venere | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @tom2015 Yeah, those ScanSpeak Beryllium seem to be the cats meow for a 2 way (I have always been a fan of ribbon tweeter, but they need a midrange, no good for under 4 or 5k). PRICEY (and hence the Kismets as well, and not very 'common' therefore... | |
| Do you adjust your subwoofer Never understood why some subs have remote control. I can see different settings for the home theater sub vs the audio sub (those effect in the .1 channel !). I found myself (on the HT system) often that the TV ADVERTISEMENT producer should start ... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @steve59 That is easy: he uses the cheap china pixeldust from Walmart at one time, and the audiophile quality $50k/pound pixeldust the other time. And uses his home made electrical current with ground rod staked into the equator at 11.11 pm on 11.... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging As mentioned, my single sub is 18". Don't want to trust it to handle 100 Hz (and the Nautilus are not known to be 'weak down low'. But I have to go high in my small setup with various small bookshelf speakers, some of them do NOT feel good han... |
