| upgrades Imagine if you had put them on Podiums! Not just speakers either. Speakers are obvious because they vibrate the most. But every component benefits. If the OP does his whole system then like I said the improvement will be hard to believe. | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices To those who think people are untitled to spend as much as they want on this stuff, I vehemently disagree: on a finite planet with finite and continually depleting resources, it is … shortsighted and selfish to spend insane amounts of dollars ... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? Steely Dan at The Gorge was a beautifully balanced holographic experience. Standing in front of the mixing board. Other places around the venue it could be unbearably bright and harsh, like I will never understand why those people didn't move. Wor... | |
| SYSTEM COMPLETE FINALLY! Technically, subs are better in two pairs. | |
| Help selecting a power cord. There's a bacon cable? Wait- let me guess: It's sizzling. | |
| klipsh scala speakers And a good thing too. Eric can barely build em fast enough as it is. | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks Wow first hilde45 wants to pretend he doesn't understand the difference between liking a song and thinking it is a demo track, then Rick wants to pretend he doesn't know ;) is a wink and means, "kidding"! It’s merely good scientific method to re... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt ^^ This! ^^ | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? You bought SS not knowing it needs to be left on to sound good? Tablejockey is correct. You will never hear a sizeable amount of what you paid for unless you leave it on. Live and learn. | |
| Can an unused cable break in? I agree with Millercarbon's comment about 'burning' in. In my 12 years or so of playing I have always noticed (almost always) that changing gear, cords, interconnects, etc. needs to settle in for several hours if not days to calm or whatever you w... | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks millercarbon9,537 posts06-12-2021 2:52amYou are able to evaluate using only certain tracks? Fascinating! Let's put it this way. What albums do you go to when demonstrating your system? Whatever my listener would like to hear. Whatever floats th... | |
| Single vs. Dual Subs Indeed, the multiple sub solution outlined by Toole and on which the Distributed Bass Array approach is based is a game-changer. Multiple subs distributed asymmetrically around the room effectively minimizes the problem of bass modes. Then when th... | |
| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? 7dB is totally obtainable. I was able to go much lower than that even. Remember, dB is a log scale of pressure differentials. We like to think of it as measuring sound pressure level when really it is measuring pressure wave differentials. Sound i... | |
| Does using XLR cables (double voltage output) mean I can use lower powered amplifiers? MC, you should change your avatar to a little knitted black and white bear with pins stuck in it… A Panda would be China. The creature you are trying to evoke is Xi, aka Winnie the Pooh. Get your insults straight please, or don't bother. | |
| Can an unused cable break in? So we still don't know, and fall back on: Any current however small and it is burning in. No current and no it will not be burning in. |
