| Plugging Amp into Power Conditioner??? I don't dare plug an amp into the wall where I live, where there can be sudden powerful thunderstorms. About a month ago, the Monster surge protector I plug into took a big surge, and I quickly got up and turned everything off. Later, I turned eve... | |
| speakers for a smaller listening room My brother has a very similar sized room to yours, and he uses an old pair of Sound Dynamics 300Ti's. They are stand mounted and sound pretty good in the space. | |
| Prima luna dialogue 2 tube rolling Hi Delta - well, as I said I think I like them a little more. It really depends more on the specific recording. The EL34's have a slightly warmer, more prominent midband in general, however I believe that the specific EL-34's I am trying are consi... | |
| Prima luna dialogue 2 tube rolling Thanks, Maxmad, I do mean to contact Upscale at some point, but don't want to bother them until I am actually going to buy, which unfortunately I am not in a position to do at the moment. In the meantime, I would love to hear from anyone who does ... | |
| Prima luna dialogue 2 tube rolling Maxmad, Rodman, for those of us who cannot afford true NOS tubes, what would you guys consider the best subs? I have a Dialogue 2 powering a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls. | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Ah, point taken - my mistake. It is a mixing space, indeed. In one of those links, though, the room is indeed described as mostly anechoic, which is why I assumed that it is mostly dead. I also assumed this from looking at the pictures of the wall... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Hi Bryon - I have just read and digested the two links above. I fully understand where you are coming from now. One thing I will say is that Blackbird Studio C is designed to be a recording space, and most definitely NOT a listening space. I can t... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Hi Bryon - no, you are not going mad, though you have indeed gone far down the rabbit hole with this one. But that's OK by me - it is always interesting to read your posts! You are always very thoughtful and express yourself very clearly. Ultimate... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Hi guys - Cdc, Bryon, and Albert, you made some very interesting points, which I agree with as well. Cdc, on the photography issues, yes photographers also have heated debates over the merits of the latest digital technology vs. the older equipmen... | |
| The "great" sound of reel to reel explained Wow - Atmasphere, as usual you have made a great contribution to this site!! Fantastic info! You are very, very good at describing things that (as a musician) I can hear but cannot explain adequately to others as I do not have the technical knowle... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Hi guys - I think, after reading the latest posts, that Cbw is probably correct when he says "about the ambience cues in the recording. The primary signal in the music is generally going to dominate, and the cues are softer, lower SNR, and more di... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Hi Bryon - once again, you and Al and Cbw and Dgarretson have provided some excellent posts with much food for thought! Let the speculation continue, indeed! I have really enjoyed reading all of it, and you are certainly correct that although very... | |
| Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's? Most all of the ones I own/have heard sound great. Al's recommendation of Sheffield Labs is a great place to start. | |
| Entry into HiFi Yes, choose your speakers first, though I would definitely go the high-efficiency route myself! | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Bryon and Al, you both make some very interesting points! In general, I agree with most all of them, particularly Al's. Regarding this bi-directional vs. omni-directional subject, though, I do think it is very important to remember that in a good ... |
