| Uneven speaker wire runs Tarsando, an "audio" signal doesn't travel the speed of sound when it's in the wire because it's an "electrical" signal at that point. It doesn't become an audio signal and travel at the speed of sound until the electrical energy is converted into... | |
| Home Theater Enclosure Problem? Wood resonates. That's one of the reasons why it's a pretty good building material for acoustic instruments. You're probably getting resonances at critical mid-range frequencies, where most vocal frequencies reside and where the human ear is parti... | |
| How Do I Find A Customs Broker? When you find a broker, compare their fees with the fees charged by the shipping company's in-house customs brokerage service. You may find the shipper less expensive. | |

| I've reached the beginning of the end - I hope Lack of money, a mortgage, car payments, children etc. all do a pretty good job of ending or idefinitely postponing people's audio journeys. You learn to be happy with what you can realistically or responsibly afford. | |
| Help with understanding Stereophile test results. This is a speculation, but I am wondering if the midrange drivers on your speakers are starting to roll off in the mid bass, which is where many speakers roll off...then the woofers kick in. It could be a less than perfect crossover integration be... | |
| Bose 901...really Given my luck with lottery tickets, I don't know whether I'm much of a betting man. However, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the Bose will do very well indeed against the Dynaudio. I think that the Dynaudios are meant to be in a mor... | |
| Going into the dark side.....please help I had some "expensive" issues with toddlers too in regards to my equipment. But that's another story.Since you have your main system downstairs, you can make your upstairs system your "family" system.Here's the solution I used jsut to show that it... | |
| Bose 901...really Since the speakers are designed to take advantage of reflected sound, there is a logic in your proposition.However, it's Bose's logic that I can't quite rationalize. Bose are suggesting, correctly in my view, that you hear a lot of reflected sound... | |
| small flat screen tvs? As noted in my response to your previous post on the same topic, look at Toshiba. They make a line of small LCDs with a built in DVD. The picture quality is light years ahead of the budget brand LCDs (which don't typically come in versions with a ... | |
| The Importance of Audio Furniture Most manufacturers of audio equipment don't make stands or furniture. When they are showing their equipment at a show, I suppose that they want the focus of attention to be on their equipment, not to provide free advertising to someone else's stan... | |
| It was 40 years ago today..... Personally, I preferred the early Beatles when they were playing what George Harrison once called "those same ten dopey tunes". Oh well, you can't deny the significance of Sgt. Pepper to the musical development of the Beatles and others, and the c... | |
| Inner sleeves versus none? Sleeves are not expensive and they provide an extra layer of protection from small particles and other grit. This is not a particularly insightful comment on my part but I don't what else to say. The sleeves serve a protective purpose.I suspect hi... | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? The purpose of "stereo" is to create a holographic image. (Otherwise, mono would do just fine.) So if your left and right fronts are set up properly, they will be creating a centrally located image if that is what was recorded. There would be no n... | |
