| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle @zo6ak Sorry, didn't see that you were trying to quote someone (i.e. missing "quote marks". It was aactuall @viridian who said "Spikes are cheap, try them and they will either enhance your listening pleasure or they won't." and thus promoting th... | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle @yoyoyaya The point of using spikes as anchors, anti slip, or 'keep level' is not disputed (even so much simpler/cheaper methods are plenty), rather their ineffectiveness as a "decoupler", "damper", or otherwise reduce vibrations. i would even a... | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle @yoyoyaya Spikes as level and holding device: no issue. But piece of sticky felt, folded paper (to level), stick on rubber would do the trick without punching holes in the carpet or floor, and complicated designs. Spikes have become another 'pix... | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle Another misconception: "depends on the spring rate and the mass": that is called a SWINGER for good reason. at resonance frequency, amplitude will be infinite. Try driving your car with spring only. That is were the DAMPER comes in. Now you have... | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle @ditusa Thanks, that explains why spikes (or other rigid 'couplers') DON"T work. A suspected. The acrticle does NOT offer solutions to decouple. | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle Prevent from moving around: accepted (double sided tape would do as well). Nice big heavy granite/cast iron plate on the bottom, some soft rubber 'pucks' will certainly help to kill SOME vibrations (sound) transmitted from the speaker to the flo... | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice Those who plan to spend $20k on speakers won't have the money to buy groceries for a year, let alone subway ticket. Hitchhike to NY, sleep with the homeless and pan handle for subway ticket money. | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Just crossed my mind thinking about open baffle and reflecions: how does NEAR FIELD (reflections outside 'ear sensiivity range' compare with respect to imaging and sound stage? Guts feeling: creat imaging (pin point location) but poor 'sound stage... | |
| 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, ... |
