| Stacking mats on Technics SP-10R Wouldn't it be easier to make a jig and drill them all to be centered? | |
| Does reducing gain setting on power amp increase chance of clipping? Amplifier gain is fixed, never variable. In reality what your "gain reduction" is limiting is the amplifier input level. In other words more like "maximum volume lock". What this does will depend on how it works. The vast majority of volume contro... | |
| Any love for Talon Raven-c speakers? Yeah, they try and get the large woofer to go higher than it should by putting it in an isobaric enclosure. Which does improve speed but does not turn it into a midrange. So the midrange comes off sounding pretty good and smooth because it is all ... | |
| Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up... I know just what you mean. I took pictures of mine and sometimes gaze in wonder at the extreme over the top "I don't care how it looks" of it all. Like Ricky Gervais at the Oscars. You gotta admit, it takes real talent to reach this level of aloof... | |
| Any love for Talon Raven-c speakers? I had Khorus for about 15 years, very nice but technology has come a long way and they cannot hold a candle to Moab, Double Impact, etc. I am sure they are a nice reasonably efficient speaker you will enjoy, and hopefully got a deal on them. | |
| Music Documentary- The Art of Listening Music is first and foremost a means of conveying emotion, feeling. Technical aspects like frequency response are involved, but that is not what these guys are talking about, because that is not what music is all about. Like the man said, "the cr... | |
| Room Ceiling Height for 2 channel listening - is taller always better? 16 and 17 are very nearly "square". Map it out, you will find the 16 ft modes are right beside the 17 ft modes. Sloping ceiling will distribute those, but focus higher frequencies. Everything you do has a different effect at different frequencies.... | |
| 60db gain 100 ohm load phono pre All that gain means is where the volume knob winds up. There's way more to a phono stage than dB gain. Way more. Shop for phono stages based on sound quality, or you may wind up with something that doesn't sound any better, maybe even sounds worse... | |
| Music Documentary- The Art of Listening I like the John McBride quote at 23:15, "The studio is the creative womb for music. You have to make it feel good. You need to bring out the passion in the artist, the producer, and the engineer. Because we talk about, 'that's a great record'. Now... | |
| Zyx cartridges best tracking No one knows the sweet spot, we only know it is somewhere in that range. Exactly where depends on your arm, your VTA and most of all you. Only you can decide these things, and only by listening. Start by setting VTF right smack in the middle, an... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? The problem with emphasizing detail, no one agrees on what it means. Far as I can tell a lot confuse detail with presence, HF extension, air, etc. Detail is detail, the finest most subtle distinctions of sound. Nothing about detail has to mean hig... | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? All kinds of reasons. None of them any good. | |

| The Audiophile Community Has a Problem: Part Deux The Saga Continues? Role models were once a real thing. I did not have sex with that woman. Depends on what the meaning of is is. Renting the Lincoln bedroom out for pillow fights. Deplorables. You didn’t build that. You ain’t black. And the, you know, the thing. ... | |
