| difussor's With the Adagio's 30" out, and the small size of the room, isn't this a near-field setup?Diffusion panels on back wall, and ceiling is a good idea.Absorbtion panel only on wall behind speakers to focus the image. | |
| difussor's Given your small room, I think Erik is right. Some absorption panels are needed. To tighten the image, absorption (not diffusion) is needed on the wall behind the speakers. Speakers 30" out seems to be good positioning with such a small room. | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Interesting how much a SR Black can influence the sound. I was asking myself, "it's only a fuse, why does my system sound so bad."The Red sounded great within the first listening session.Many thanks. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I was following the thread in the early days and installed a SR Red fuse in my ARC CDP; I wanted to start at the source. It was such a tremendous improvement in every way and since the spinner is naturally detailed, I stayed with the Red.Next I au... | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. OK, so without droning over my audio history, let me say that it may be time to suspend this quest for separates, because I am getting opinions from every side and many often cancel out each other related to equipment, I may have expressed a g... | |

| Will an Isolation Transformer Help My Digital? Thanks to all. And thank you, Al for finding the acoustic noise spec. That unit would need to placed in a separate room.And I knew that it was not a new item, but did not notice the wear and tear on the PC.One thing I don't understand is why some ... | |
| Will an Isolation Transformer Help My Digital? @ptss, thanks!What size would you recommend for use with an ARC CD and a small DAC? I have seen xfmr's rated in watts; shouldn't they be rated in amps?Also, is this Topaz good enough for high-end audio?http://www.ebay.com/itm/191842008876?_trksid=... |
