What position is your balance control set at and why?
Actually gdhal...."The scenario you describe might apply to completely different speakers. Two of the same speaker (brand/model) would also have differing efficiencies, but that should be extremely little, like less than one half of one db.".....w... 
What position is your balance control set at and why?
Hi GuysHopefully this is of some use. One thing to keep in mind about recordings is every studio has a slightly different absolute center. Some are dead on and others drift to the left or right in playback. There's a ton of reasons why this happen... 
Attending an audio show
The very last day is tear down day, so that morning is when you get to hear the systems at their most good or bad state, depending. If you go the day before and stay over night for the next morning the sales hype will be on it's last leg and you c... 
Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?
Easily the best CDP I have ever used, was one that was $29.00 when on sale. Stupid because hardly anyone believed me till the small trickle of listeners started to explore and then started to collect so they would never be without. Now the Magnavo... 
Cryongenically treated in-wall AC power wire
The audiophile hobby takes big swings from one end of the scale to the other with time always being the test. What I have tried to do, faithfully I hope, is every few years I will setup a listening shop I call TuneLand, or some may remember TuneVi... 
Oppo to cease production -- Announced yesterday...
Hi Astewart8944On the TuneLand forum we welcome the comments from those who have explored this for themselves. I think maybe one person who experimented with the system I mentioned on the forum went back to their old system. The rest have moved on... 
Missing the Old Days
Doug S nailed it.My orders for the SW15 have been off the hook. Why? Because people want to get back to music and warmth. High End Audio took a weird departure back in the 90's and never really got back on track enough to satisfy many hunting for ... 
Oppo to cease production -- Announced yesterday...
First off, from what I can see the way Oppo did this seems very classy. MGA and RoomTune wish them all the best. Long before Oppo was born Jim Bookhard and myself started making the statement "High End Audio, as we know it, is done"(mid 90's). To ... 
Cryongenically treated in-wall AC power wire
I personally don’t like the sound of Cryo, nor do I like the sound of line conditioning, or over built outlets. Keep in mind, I was one of the original "Audiophile" outlet designers. I was wrong! After doing the follow up listening on the "more ma... 
Speakers "Disappearing"
Hi Corelli and Drewster, Great to see some Tunees on Audiogon. Those reading this thread should think about how big a recorded stage really is. They're a lot bigger than your typical High End Audio system playback suggest. I remember working with ... 
Primare--shrinking US distribution?
Hi twoleftears (great name BTW)My response is more a general one, not focused on the brand but more the state of High End Audio.I'm a designer in the business which at one time had 650 dealerships carrying my RoomTune and Michael Green Audio produ... 
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
If I may throw my 2 maybe even 3 cents in on the topic. I do a lot of empirical testing for folks (in the home and recording world). Every copy of a recording I receive sounds different from any other copies, and different from the original Red Bo... 
Speakers "Disappearing"
Hi DillThanks for the welcome! Glad to see your RoomTuning! When I see topics about making speakers disappear, and soundstaging, I get curious to see how many folks are using RoomTune. Collecting equipment is fun, but it's even more fun to get dow... 
Speakers "Disappearing"
Keep in mind that every recording has a different "Recorded Code". So you play a few recordings and the soundstage is fine to you, and there's that next recording that doesn't do so well. It's not that the recording is bad. It's simply that you ne... 
Have you ever met another audiogon member in person?
