| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... But this one goes to eleven.... (And amen). | |
| Verity Audio speakers A lot of what attracted me to the Parsifals initially is that they seemed EASIER to place in a challenging room. More flexible (front or rear firing woofers), generally considered somewhat "beamy" in the midrange (which makes 1st order reflections... | |
| Class D amps? I LIKE my "antique" Roland 201s, damnitt. Screw you clowns for getting me all fasciated and obsessive on this latest hypex ncore whizz-bang. Cheaper than the IWC watch I decided I "needed" last week (albeit not by much), though, I'll grant you tha... | |
| Singer sounds lower than ear level, help raise it Don't mean to be a smartass, (sometimes it just comes by accident). But, yea, I'd move the speakers around. Like, as much as possible, and see what it does for you. Tilt them, move them, raise them, lower them. Experiment. You'll be surprised. Som... | |
| Singer sounds lower than ear level, help raise it Whatever you do, don't try tilting the speakers a couple of degrees. Tilting them back a bit might actually shift the perceived center of the soundstage upwards, which would be horrible -- especially as that is exactly what you're looking for. Or,... | |
| does your system "warm up" and then sound better? Speakers. Let me take another stab, in case I was being too obtuse. Think of your car. The mechanical work of making a car go happens in the engine. Engines tend to work better once they've warmed up to operating temperature. You know, friction an... | |
| does your system "warm up" and then sound better? Yes. Speakers. They have bits that move. It's the moving bits that make noise by vibrating. We call this noise music. Vibrating bits vibrate differently at different temperatures. Different kinds of vibrating will make different kinds of noise. It... | |
| Importance of Soundstage/Imaging This is really interesting mostly to unpack how Ive been subconsciously thinking about this sort of stuff. Which is to say, I dont really agree with the categories or the order (I think). I think Im with the original author that I think imagi... | |
| Spikes or other on carpet for maple blocks In theory, depends on what's under your carpet -- ie, what you would be bypassing the carpet to spike to. Spike a wooden block to a concrete floor (spiking through the carpet, which pretty much takes it out of the equation) and you have a bunch of... | |
| King of the one liners You put your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car....half hour later, who'se happy to see you? | |
| 32-bit dac My understanding is that -- while any given DAC may sound "better" than another one for a whole host of reasons -- whether it can run 24 v 32 bit is not one of them. | |
| Software like Audyessy I'd love to hear answers to the same question.Spent some time seeking to research DRC (digital room correction). One way to go is the additional hardware route, something along the lines of the Lyngdorf, Audyessy-made (now discontinued) stand-alon... | |
| RFI noise/ FM overlay Any way to eliminate it? I guess I'll start with admitting that I am not really sure where you're RFI is entering the system. That said, I understand that the culprit is frequently the wires connecting the various components. Often, better shielding on the interconnects c... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 Also really dig the robot video for Exit Strategy. Very nice. Tried to grab the CD off of Amazon, but not due out for a couple weeks (May 22). This the new stuff? I'll be back for it....And another second (third, fourth?) for the new Springstein. ... | |
| Anyone Bound for the Fest in New Orleans,,,? Yea, great Fest. Personal favorites were Hot 8, Rebirth, Los Hombres Calientes, and Bonerama (but, I really can't get enough of that stuff). And, of course, that rain on Sunday and the Funky Meters for bringing it....And if anyone was out at the R... |
