| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Science and its application in Engineering provides people many good quality choices for their hifis. Even a way to sort through the complexity and figure out what is most likely to work best. But its always up to you which fruits of science and e... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? VAC is very good stuff and has that reputation, so you will pay for that. | |
| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? BS free is particularly a nice thing these days. Can't put a price tag on that. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Not if you like VAC pre-amps. | |
| Vibration control on power versus signal I’d worry about EM fields inducing noise and distortion in nearby devices and guarding against that but vibrations, no. | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Supertweeters obviously produce no bass but if there are instrument overtones in their range they can boost those and deliver the full range of certain instruments better. Of course you don’t need supertweeters for that unless your system is oth... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Understandable. I feel the same way quite often. | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real It happens. | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters @antigrunge yes and those high-frequency overtones are referred to collectively by the term “air”. Look it up. I’m not making up the definition. Some instruments have them and some do not. Some that do might also produce some upper bass frequencie... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: If I had to pick only one of those bands entire body of work to listen I would go with Los Lobos for the total package including a nice pinch of diversity. I know the Band were groundbreakers but just not that interesting anymore to me. TP&THs... | |
| Stands or no stands Try it and see. They are designed to get the bass reinforcement from the floor but you never know what sounds best until you try. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration It’s nice when people try to help other people. Not so nice when they boast about it and also try to discredit others in order to claim some sort of monopoly. So the two cancel each other out. See how that works? | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration It’s pretty funny actually when some worry about things like fuse and wire direction and others shrug off bass as suddenly and totally independent of direction unlike all the rest. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Some additional independent perspective on sub placement for music from a very experienced and knowledgeable source. For Optimum Sound, How Many Subs, and Where Do You Put ’Em? | News & Views | Ohm Speakers | Custom Audiophile Speakers for Mus... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Good stuff. Thank you @atmasphere |
