| Fremer's Single-leg panel is absolute tweak bs @jea48 hi Jim, i do not recall talking to you. but i might have posted on the subject and you might have had a recommendation. or over the years we might have crossed paths about it. many have asked me about my Equi=tech. added note; after thi... | |
| Fremer's Single-leg panel is absolute tweak bs i will invite 'Rex' who is a local friend, and also the consultant to Michael Fremer who appears in the video, to join this conversation. i'm not qualified to debate these issues, i just listen. but he is for sure. | |

| How to Setup Your Room for Atmos and Immersive Audio @kota1 as far as number of speakers, past a certain number it’s more a room size and immersion by degrees issue. and then there is the reality that to get the best processor and the best feature set, that’s Trinnov, and their entry level is 16 c... | |
| How to Setup Your Room for Atmos and Immersive Audio here is the hot tip for the most advanced information on multi-channel speaker positioning from the world’s leader on this subject. when i was positioning my own 9.3.6 multichannel set-up, i choose the Trinnov approach instead of the Dolby Atmos a... | |
| Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback once an RTR deck is sorted out, especially one of the higher level decks, home use is unlikely to stress it much. they are built for heavy use in a pro environment. assuming you find one with relatively light use, it will hold up well. so pay the... | |
| DarTZeel NHB-108 Model B with SCNP upgrade you are most welcome. i used the EA MM3’s (owned the 2nd pair built) with the 108B with and without SNCP dartzeel for 7 years. the SNCP did make a positive difference when pushed. it is a wonderful match. the MM3’s were originally voiced on the (... | |

| Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback @chauncey not exactly sure where the price a high quality 'stock' used ATR-102 starts, my guess is the $15k-$25k range. to know it’s high quality you need a reliable source. for reference a nice Studer A-820 is likely in the $30k-$60k range for... | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? i have 2 separate rooms. prefer that approach. since the ideal 2 channel room uses diffusion to retain energy. whereas the ideal Home Theater uses mostly absorption to reduce comb filtering. reflections are kept to a minimum. acoustically combini... | |
