| Equipment purchase that made you want to get off the Merry Go Round (good or Bad) Have you ever reach the conclusion that you are done for a while Yes. Every time. Well I learned long ago there's no greater waste of time and money than to buy stuff just to be buying stuff. So I research the you know what out of it. As a result... | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot Quite listenable, though perhaps not as extended at the high end. If someone told me I had to use the Home Depot wire I’d get along just fine. Actual quote. Cut and paste. Leads me to one of 4 possible conclusions- 1- my hearing stinks; 2- my ... | |
| Am I out of my mind? #obsessed If you're noticing micro scratches then you're going to need to learn to take care of your speakers as one would a concours winning car. The care is the same for both. Having both judged and won Porsche concours I know what it takes. First you n... | |
| Amplifier upgrade advice under $2000 They're only 88dB, as measured with the misleading 2.83volts instead of 1 watt. When you realize what's going on you will understand why however much you may like the way they sound its pretty much impossible to find an amp to drive them well at a... | |
| AB Testing Experiences Our whole concept of tone balance is tied to volume. Change the volume, our perceived tone balance changes and no amount of listening experience will ever change that. You seem to be trying to reference Fletcher-Munson equal loudness curves and... | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot This is classic case of skin effectThe only skin effect here is the one going on with his avatar. | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot Just fooling around. Good to know. Because so far this was looking like you're one of these guys who really can't hear any difference. Although personally I doubt I'm strong enough to endure even a minute of listening to my system through lamp cor... | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot OMG. Now we're talking house wiring. Curiouser and curiouser. When I used to read fairy tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one! | |
| Query on RoomTunes Acoustic Panels He's still around. The man. Don't know about the company. Had some good ideas, an early adopter of vibration control. The panels I recall were basically OC703 but with one side covered with aluminized paper just like insulation panels, which is wh... | |
| Tensegrity principles applied to turntable support? There's no vertical isolation, and not even horizontal since it moves in an arc not a plane. Straight wires will vibrate just like a guitar string. Constantly. As in all the time. Horrible design. Also five minutes of my life I will never get back... | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot OMG. Not Time Tunnel. Twilight Zone. | |
| Professional Turntable Set Up in Kentucky? Watch the Michael Fremer video on YouTube. DIY. Buy yourself a Hot Stamper with the money you saved. Then come back and tell everyone how nice it is knowing how to do this. | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot Or maybe he thought you were nuts for running a dedicated line while using zip cord speaker wire? I feel like I’m back in the 80’s. The reason I know for sure its #3 is because there are no systems not resolving enough to hear the better wire. So ... | |
| AB Testing Experiences You guys are talking about methods of switching. But guess what? You can compare two things (A and B) even if it means disconnecting speakers, moving components around. Its a comparison, which includes volume and material. If the switching has to ... | |
