| Test a new dedicated circuit before installing it. The fluctuations you're measuring are irrelevant. This is for a music system. Music is constantly fluctuating, causing the amp to draw fluctuating current, causing line voltage to fluctuate. Not drop, not anything you can measure. Honestly, if you... | |
| Using a HT system with a tube preamp Will make a difference but not much. Problem is the vast majority of improvement is from getting out of multi-channel into stereo. Especially if its an AVR. You'd be surprised how much better movies are with really good stereo. https://systems.aud... | |
| Seeking advice on high kHz annoyance in my system According to the OP: 1. This was present in my previous system as well and I'd hoped to eliminate it 2. More noticeable at higher (but not excessive) volumes. 3. Occurs through speakers and headphones This rules out everything, leaving... | |
| Projector Advice Yeah or just call projectorpeople.com I have used them for many years. For a discount type business they have really good service. Always extremely knowledgeable and helpful and even managed to catch one detail I had missed. Or if you just want b... | |
| Test a new dedicated circuit before installing it. Nope. Not even. Worse than a waste of time, whatever you get from a noise meter (extremely questionable to begin with) becomes totally worthless when you realize a lot of the noise comes from where the wire is- and you're not testing it where its ... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey If you just want to fill, mix sand with mineral oil, not much just enough to get good and damp so it packs better. Then mix with lead shot and fill your legs. But those legs are stubby, doubt this will do much. I have a much better idea but need ... | |
| Good to remember ... how to tell what sounds better He just explained why so much audio gear is dreck. They make it that way to have something jump out and get your attention- that's new! I'll buy it! When the truth is the very best most perfect component there ever could be (and does not exist) wo... | |
| Has anyone used Synergistic Research Alive cables I have the Atmosphere Euphoria interconnect. If someone had told me an interconnect could make this much difference I'd never believe it. But then I also have SR Element CTS speaker cable, some of their older power cords, and have been a very happ... | |
| Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound Yeah, its amazing the mileage from this one thing: I finally got my speakers position and sitting area position correctly for my system. You may find that even very slight changes in speaker location have a surprising effect on imaging. Having on... | |
| Seeking advice on high kHz annoyance in my system Sad to say, its tinnitus. Sorry. | |
| Room Treatment Question, lost the lowest bass notes. Honestly, it hardly matters which sub you use. I have three different types in my room. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 They all work together perfectly, and blend seamlessly with the mains. The problem with EQ is you can only get it fla... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey Yes indeed. Funny you should ask. I look for truth from simple experiments Exactly. In a way, what this whole thread is about: trying things out. Rick checked in at an opportune moment because this is right about the point where he comes in. Up to... | |
| Is 1990's equipment vintage? Vintage is 1970's or older. Unless digital. Then last week or older. | |
| Cartridge reliability You're near Ledermann? What the heck are you doing here???! | |
| Room Treatment Question, lost the lowest bass notes. Perfectly normal. Happens everywhere. Very low bass waves are much longer than even a large room. So they reflect back and the same wave cancels itself at certain locations. That's why you stand somewhere and hear it, move somewhere else you don't... |
