Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Laptop "ate" my first response before it got posted, tried to write it again and just now noticed the second time around I neglected to credit Rick with the bass difference. He let me know to expect this even before it happened. It is one of the w... | |
Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Pods, Bars, Platforms and Podiums are all basically the same technology. They all use essentially the same air-damped spring suspension isolation. The main difference is in how they connect. Podiums use a big massive and constrained layer damped p... | |
Anyone here reterminate a SR Master Coupler? Haven’t done a Master Coupler, but I have x-rayed other Active Shielding cables - in order to avoid cutting into one! If all you are trying to do is swap out terminals this will probably be fine. The way Active Shielding works each conductor will ... | |
Right angle wall plug on power cables What he said. Plus they tend to be thick and stiff, routing is hard enough as it is this would only make it worse. Imagine a typical conditioner with 6 or 8 outlets, how's that gonna work with 90? | |
Nova Power Cord Model (M101 silver) Review I had a guy over Saturday, he couldn't believe a power cord could ever make any difference. So I replaced the Moneoone Supernova with a freebie rubber power cord. Let him listen to a little Steve Miller, Space Intro. Then put the Supernova back in... | |
When is a mismatched center OK? Actually the only reason is because the HT industry has decreed this is what they need to sell more stuff. HT is based on turning your home into a theater. This makes sense only if you have rows of seats to fill, or you watch movies from way off c... | |
I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up Buyer's remorse is a terrible feeling. I think many of us here have suffered with it at one time or another. I suffered from buyer's remorse all my life until I was around 25 or 30, somewhere in there. Took me that long I guess to become aware eno... | |
I finally added a second REL Sub For those in this thread who have tried one sub vs. two stereo sub, what did you gain by adding the second one? Was it worth double the cost?But it doesn't have to be double the cost. That's the thing. The benefits of multiple subs are so great yo... | |
Old digital that still kicks butt Who ever said "time necessarily = progress"? Pretty sure what they say is entropy increases over time. Which is pretty much the opposite. That does not however mean entropy increases uniformly everywhere all the time. We can by intelligent use of ... | |
Single vs. Dual Subs Strictly interested in confining the discussion to your pre-determined conclusion. Wonderful. But you get the answer you weren't looking for anyway. Each additional sub, by being in a different location adds to the number and location of bass mode... | |
Speaker size and soundstage Imaging is determined by the fidelity with which extremely fine and subtle details are reproduced. Sensitivity is by definition the response to an input. The lower the sensitivity the more power required for any given input, the less sensitive the... | |
In term of construction, what's the difference between cheap vs. expensive power cables Local audiophile Dana denager came by for a nice long listening session the other day. When I removed Cable Elevators he heard the change from the first instant the first one came out. He was floored it made so much difference. There’s another eve... | |
I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up Yes but a few drinks of what, that is the question. Saturday we had ribs and Tom Petty, with of course a lot of Deschuttes Black Butte Porter. The might Moabs can support a big bold porter like that no problem. Sopras you probably want to stick wi... | |
