| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? Good for you! If you move around the room with the Mic you will notice the bass response changing. The peak at 25 Hz will move around. The lumpiness below 100 Hz is due to room interaction. Actually, you are not too bad. Where was the Mic position... | |
| Any thoughts on Salamander Synergy cabinets? @agriculturist , Salamander design cabinets are OK for commercial cabinets and will work fine with everything but turntables. If the size and style suite you great. The only way you will do substantially better is to have custom cabinets made whic... | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. @dimbhaka , From the MiniDSP you get into Digital Preamps like the Anthem STR and the soon to be released DEQX Pre4 and Pre8. The Trinnov Amethyst is another unit that I was considering but the Bass management is not flexible enough for my use. I ... | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. @dimbhaka , Great idea and almost the right approach. Get two E110's. Skip that crossover. In order to integrate subs correctly they need to be matched to the main speakers in time and phase. This can only be done digitally. A MiniDSP crossover w... | |
| Speaker positioning and center image depth I shall throw another hand grenade while I am at it. Painfully few of us have ever heard a system that images correctly. I think many systems are capable of a satisfactory image but are not optimized to perform at that level do to problems inheren... | |
| Speaker positioning and center image depth How the speaker images should be entirely up to the recording. This assumes that the equipment is up to the task and set up correctly. If a system images the same way regardless of the program source it is either not up to the task, is not set up ... | |
| Medical Isolation Platforms @sdlevene 1+ MinusK platforms are the best available for reasons sdlevene mentioned. Putting any turntable that does not have built in isolation on a MinusK platform will make a significant improvement in performance. This is no idle "tweak." I... | |
| MoFi controversy MoFi releases what it thinks are essential albums is higher quality vinyl. I have seen nothing in their marketing that says they stick to analog masters. That would be hard to do anyway as most everything has been converted to digital. Digital has... | |
| 3k Phono preamp upgrade options (JC3+, XP-17, etc) @cleeds , and they cost a whale of a lot more than a JC3+. I have not been in any recent ARC or Mac stuff but the last time I looked they were still using through hole construction. Both are now a cut below the finest brands such as Boulder and Co... | |
| 3k Phono preamp upgrade options (JC3+, XP-17, etc) @rsf507 The amount of noise generated by a phono stage depends on the cartridge you are trying to mate it with. In my recollection I can not recall anyone saying the JC3+ was noisy. Transformers are quite but they come with their own set of prob... | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? Hi @dover Though I'd make a guest appearance. The ET arm does not work well on any turntable. It is a terrible design based on wishful thinking by people who fail to grasp the physics involved. The problems created by such a design are far worse ... | |
| HELIOS Speaker Kit @boostedis Wrong strategy. The ONLY way a small woofer has of making more bass is by increasing it's excursions. Price has nothing to do with it. Longer excursions create more distortion, much more distortion in the most sensitive part of the midr... | |
| Acoustic Signature turntables @plinko , If you are near Graham Engineering you are also near me. I live right across the border in southern New Hampshire. You are also not far from the Basis factory in Hollis, NH and they love to have visitors. IMHO the Basis Inspiration is a ... | |
| Cartridges, Vinyl, Stylus, Turntable @lewm 1+ Why on God's green earth would you need a turntable in a secondary system? Save you records for serious listening and do digital for the secondary system. | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value The singular, most significant item any of you can buy is a USB microphone and measurement program. It terms of sound quality everything else pales in comparison. Those of us who have experience with this die laughing when people say they can do t... |
