| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? I am not against larger subwoofers but I am of the opinion that smaller ones that are capable of doing the job in general are preferable. Larger high quality subs may cost a lot more and offer no distinct advantage or be needed in many cases. Also... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? IT's probably true subwoofers get a bad rap with audiophiles because in many cases they are set up in a manner that adds too much bass which can also obscure the higher frequencies. But like anything else, its just a matter of doing it right, usi... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Here is one very affordable option that I would consider if needed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00102VWJK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Subs are simply just another very flexible and cost effective way to get extended bass when needed or desired , often in combo with smaller speakers with less bass extension, of which there are many very good quality affordable ones otherwise. I u... | |

| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? GK,Saying a product of yours "could" make a difference is high praise for Dark Matter compared to most Machina Dynamica offerings. It might even absorb more light or do it more constructively than plastic, who knows? You gotta take what you can g... | |

In the perfect case, the sensor is properly calibrated to detect light levels reflected by its laser from the discs surface... | |
| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? Glupson,Yes. Like all software, no two programs do things exactly the same way.
