| How much reality do you really need? “There is no reality, it’s all an illusion.”Bingo!Takes one to know one. Simulation, I mean. | |
| Who Uses Rear Surround Speakers For Music Playback? I decided to ask one of our all time great audiophiles. Decided to film it so as to not risk a misquote. https://youtu.be/VKcAYMb5uk4?t=6 | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? That's the technical explanation for why Krissy magic works especially well inside speakers. So much energy is wasted that if you improve electrical efficiency even a tiny little bit it results in big gains releasing tremendous dynamics and incred... | |
| Microphonic feedback? Tried tube dampers, Herbie's I think, typical of most dampers they suck the life and dynamics out of the music. Don't think they would work in your situation anyway. Your problem is low frequency bass feedback. Almost certainly what is happening i... | |
| Tonearm sugestion Your hearing does not matter because your ears are not microphones feeding data to a chip. You are listening to music, presumably for emotional satisfaction, so whatever your listening tells you is better for that, is better for that. So pay atten... | |
| How much reality do you really need? Ask Lewis Hamilton how much horsepower does he really need? Hey Usain, how much speed do you really need? Excuse me, Mr Honnold, but do you really need to Free Solo? My telepathic powers were employed to reach out to Sir Edmund Hillary. I asked, "... | |
| Audio Technica AT - LP 120 USB Turntable opinion eBay is great for sellers! I have always got more than expected. Have even seen stuff sell for more than it can be bought new elsewhere. Someone always wants to "win"!Be happy you got a desirable table, put it on some Nobsound springs, enjoy and n... | |
| Arrangement of components on rack Ouch! I feel your pain. Well that is all spilt milk under the bridge. What matters now is you are setting a new course. Maybe this can be like a case study or something in how to execute a turnaround save? I notice you don't have a system page. Ne... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Any thoughts? I was thinking to use the same under my turntable, it sits on 3 spikes as well, with small washer like metal rings underneath. For under a turntable? Anything around that price I would go for Nobsound, they will be way better than th... | |
| Arrangement of components on rack manogolf, I have always recommend a minimalist setup built around an integrated amp, with speakers in the mid-90dB sensitivity range. There’s probably at least a hundred posts on system building, how to budget and plan, etc. Sounds like you just b... | |
| Balancing sound to sharpen dialogue? Can't understand the words? You're just getting oldI resemble that remark! | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings Artemus_5Actually, it is not condescending but right. Yes its about making the music sound better. But, The music sounds best when it is brought forth in the purest of signal from the source material. This was the goal of high fidelity., to be fai... | |
| Arrangement of components on rack @millercarbon Thanks for the great advice! You're welcome. A lot of it was stuff I read once upon a time long long ago, and at the time thought probably it would make little to no difference. To tell the truth, some of this stuff I was doing for ... | |
| Can an integrated amp be used as a power amp Used to be very common for integrated amps to be wired with Pre- In and Power-Out in which case they really can be used as two separate components. Hardly any have that feature any more. Still, it can be used as a power amp, with one very big ... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Sorry about the word "proselytizing." That word implies that a certain way of doing things is the only best way.Apology accepted. Especially since I get it now. Lots of people use words they don’t understand, thinking they mean one thing when real... |
