| N.P.I. What is it? Addendum: One thing is certain, N.P.I expands your seating options. I agree with elliottbnewcombjr. I have changed my mind about preferring the speaker in the corner (R in this case). I like the freer sound of the other speaker. Surely you an... | |
| Please settle a bet! Back to the topic, if I guess right do I get the Scotch? | |
| N.P.I. What is it? I agree that an epic phantom image is, well... Epic! What more can be said about that? It is definitely room dependent. For another "parlor trick" try this. Listen to a MONO recording on two channels with one of them being of opposite polarity. ... | |
| How can I establish a reference level? ADDENDUM: After listening to a lot of music these past few months, I believe that -17dB as set on the preamp is closer to a true reference level. Lots of music is really loud! I mean how many times can you listen to, say, Aretha singing RESPECT ... | |
| How loud are you typically listening? ibmjunkman -71 dB for a burp is amateurish. Probably only God knows now what John Belushi could produce!(Modesty prevents me from making my numbers public).I weighed in on this discussion in an earlier post - "How do I establish a reference level?" | |

| How can I establish a reference level? I have pressed the Radio Shack meter into use.C weighting, slow response.I set +68 dB up close to one speaker and figure that gives +74 dB of SPL into the room (because there are two speakers and because of room boost). I hope that this is safe f... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Power compression is another common form of distortion that can occur in a high resolution system. | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? What if you have a high resolution system in a crappy room? There will be distortion in the sound from comb filtering, modes, etc. Or a speaker with a non-flat frequency spectrum. The resolution can be high but the sound is distorted.These equal h... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? To clarify, I am saying that a low distortion system is NECESSARILY high resolution.A high resolution system is NOT NECESSARILY low distortion. | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Thanks glupson, that is really funny! | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Think about this...If a playback system is low distortion, then it is high resolution.The contrapositive statement is:If a system is low resolution, then it is high distortion.I regularly listen to "poorly recorded music" through a low distortion ... | |
| Arche headshell with London Reference cartridge - fantastic results I have been enjoying a London Reference in a fluid damped unipivot arm - the Basis Audio Superarm9. The cartridge works well and other than the high degree of sensitivity to set-up (it took awhile) is really a joy to use.The sound is so immediate... | |
