| I knew room treatments were in my future. Good advice here to use REW. Also free is HolmImpulse. I recommend you heed the advice and familiarise yourself with either of these essential tools and read up on what is needed to optimise the room behaviour. Someone suggested contacting a compa... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Lots I like but these 3 are getting the most play lately:Ely BrunaJaniva MagnessInger Marie Gunderson ( similar style but prefer her to the ubiquitous Diana Krall) | |
| Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances? @ieales, you state: Photocells are semiconductors & thermally sensitive. So what exactly are you saying? You saying I don't or shouldn't prefer the photocell system?In all your above posts you have criticised whatever has been mentioned, so ... | |
| Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances? Then there is the system employed in 'The Truth' where there are no capacitors, resistors nor potentiometer in the signal path except for the photocell. I have built line-stages using the very good DACT pot and Guido Tent's switched relay system w... | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About @tuberculin, yes you are right, the subject is about cable lifters.What are your findings on the subject? Can you describe the difference it makes? | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About Here we go again. How can you have an opinion if you have never tried it?@audioguy85, how does your post address the OP's question or contribute in any meaningful way? You state " Waste of money if you ask me." Nobody asked you!I am seriously pu... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? This is turning out to be one of the better threads with some humour to defuse things a little.@thecarpathian, I am afraid I have to strongly disagree with you. I live in rural Ireland and leprechauns are real and Eskimos are cool.@rodman99999 re ... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? @ cakyol, I think the idea of these threads is to contribute in some meaningful way, which is something you have no intention of doing. OK so you can't hear anything then why bother to comment.Those trying to explain things with man's limited abil... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Erik, I did not misread anything! In your first post you merely asked about the importance of accurate positioning of the first reflection point. Only 5 days later do you disclose, via your 'narrow question', that you are trying to help.Your rude... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? @OP, so why did you not state exactly that in your first post?OP | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? @aj523, a good and sensible post. I use Dayton Omnimic V2 because I also need to measure the electro-acoustic and Thiele/Small speaker parameters but REW and HolmImpulse are free and do much the same.@eric-squires, what is an "average audiophile'?... | |
| What do you think of this power cord? Bob, I see the unenlightened out in full force telling you that power cables are a waste of money and to go eat ice cream!Power cables do make a difference and although I have not heard them, Audio Envy get great reviews. Consider a used cable to ... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Hi Erik, there is a lot of well meaning advice being offered but most of it ill informed. This whole thing is a science with specific goals. Some posters claim that they adjust the toe-in of their speakers and everything sounds fine. Useless info... | |
| Fuses and confusion @ squeak_king_77 No problem, you are someone I would welcome feed back from. I have just one SR Blue in my DAC. I had 3 such fuses at one time but found the detail resulted in a slightly over the top edge to the sound. Certain female vocal would ... | |
| Fuses and confusion @ squeak_king_77 This is regarding a stock fuse and remember I mentioned trying to trick my wife by not reversing the fuse and she was expecting to hear a change for better or worse but admitted that she couldn't hear any difference on that occas... |
