| Phono preamp worth it with MM cartridges? Roger, Listen to the one you have. If it sounds OK to you then don't spend any money. Once you need more gain then you will be forced into buying a new Phone amp. Spend the money on getting a better cartridge.There are some fine MM cartridges avai... | |

| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System Erik, perhaps I should have explained myself better. For two channel hi fidelity listening a center channel is detrimental. The only time it has merit is when the two channels are so far apart that you wind up with the proverbial "hole in the midd... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? It is easy to absorb frequencies down to about 250 Hz. If one does not get overly aggressive with the treatment the spectral balance of the sound will not shift much. For those of us with full spectrum room control it does not matter as any shift ... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? 20% is a huge amount of wall area. First of all, the area you treat is going to depend on a number of variables like how big the room is, were your listening position is relative to the speakers, the type of speakers used, etc. Only 4% of my front... | |
| Sturdy earbuds under $100 Etymotics are the real deal. Not only are they the most accurate earbuds you can buy they are also the toughest. There are kevlar fibers in the wire. You can hang yourself with these earbuds. If you somehow manage to break them the company will se... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Great dissertation Duke. The rooms most of us listen in usually do not reverberate, they are to small. A 10,000 seat indoor venue reverberates.The reflections in our rooms occur relatively early and die off quickly. The early ones that reach your... | |
| Downside to "revealing" system? If Joni Mitchell's Blue sounds bad there is a problem. Since newer records sound ok none would have to surmise that something happened to your older records. Played with a bad stylus, stored incorrectly, played recurrent are all possibilities. Buy... | |
| Vertical component placement? When you get old it's hard to crank your neck around 90 degrees to read things. Probably stir up your vertigo too. | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars I’m a very slow typist so I missed some of the action. Manually shifting a car is fun. Manually programming correction filters is not. I encourage people to look at my system page where I go over this with screenshots. What I see here is long on t... | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars Configuring a sub with digital bass management is not all that hard. Choosing the right crossover points and slopes is probably the hardest part. It helps if you can see them on a screen. Then it is all trial and error. Everyone has a theory but t... | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars Erik, measuring and creating correction filters manually is all but impossible. Check out my system’s page and I think you will get the picture. Designing target curves is easy to do manually as I demonstrated. Measurement curves are very complex.... | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars Digital room control is not an excuse to neglect sensible acoustic treatments like damping early reflection points and using multiple subwoofer systems to control nodal behavior. The better your room is designed the better digital room control works. | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars Duke, you a obviously have not spent much time with one of the better digital management systems. You are making assumptions that may not be correct. I posted my system with details that help understand it. It works, Not just a little either. You ... | |
| Sound Absorption Behind and Between the Speakers? Glass rings. It is also probably acting as an early reflection point for both speakers. Sound from early reflection points is just barely delayed and blurs the overall sound ruining detail and image as you have discovered. If you find the early re... |
