| System too bassy - Primaluna & Usher Maybe experiment with position of speakers when no one else home, just as a test, not permanent, just to get a feel for how that works. Then play something the lady likes that sounds really good, and maybe you can negotiate something. :) | |
| What CD sound is the best? "In other words, is a King Crimson or Moody Blues CD remastered LOUD?"I have read that most CDs since mid 90's are "louder" overall compared to prior as I understand it due to advancements in the mastering technology and I think equalization curve... | |
| what is my system's weakest link? I agree with Krell_man. I have not checked you items specs specifically, but I suspect most any Thiels will not be driven to full potential except by perhaps the very best, biggest, and powerful integrated amps out there. A 50 w/ch SS amp may soun... | |
| What's under your sub? I'm afraid to look and see....Actually my forward firing sealed M&K sub needs some repair work and has been taken out of active duty for now.No doubt subs, especially one that fires downward in any shape or form, will interact strongly with th... | |
| System too bassy - Primaluna & Usher If options for locating the speakers to help tame bass are not practical or sufficient, and speakers must remain closr to walls and corners, then adding bass traps to the corner(s) is another thing to try.Only after all practical placement and tre... | |
| System too bassy - Primaluna & Usher Probably a lot of room acoustics involved. Moving the speakers 2-3 feet or more out away from the walls, especially the front wall, and corner(s) should help tame the bass I would think. Should also help with imaging and soundstage. Experiment wit... | |
| What CD sound is the best? Foe Moody Blues, the more recent CD remaster with the bonus tracks is quite good, much superior to the initial release on CD from many years prior. The bonus tracks on this CD are particularly good. Two similar versions of "A Simple Game", which o... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? The thing I wonder is, if one is in the market for a "good" Class D amp, why would you not try a less expensive solution like D-Sonic first before investing traditional big bucks in an amp? Part of the benefit is the size and efficiency of Class D... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? " the d-sonic is just much more powerful. so the dynamics are, understandably, far and beyond 70 watts, of course. and compared to the parasound a-21, although another great piece, which I sold years ago, the d-sonic is still the better amp for me... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- ..you read this thread? | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM "why did you sell them if you were pleased with them"Isn't that what audiophiles do? IE get rid of stuff that already sounds good in hope of getting something better? :-)OR sometimes of course things just break or need service to perform well agai... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Just play the dern thing. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Yeah, I was going to scratch the nothing to do with soul comment but it was too late. I was thinking classical and soul as two distinct beasts, but not really the case. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? No doubt large scale orchestral works is an area that when you look at the state of the overall big picture, vinyl probably still rules. part is sound quality and part is all those fantastic classical recordings available at the Goodwill store for... | |
| Does anyone like country Yeah I have the list and like it a lot. Nice recording as well. |
