| Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great Or sometimes more is more. Your problem was you had a sub. All rooms have problems with bass modes, and the smaller the room the worse the problem. Unfortunately you went for the proven to fail approach of trying to suck up the bass with room trea... | |
| How much space between cables is enough? But doesn't that make the material and design of the elevator somewhat irrelevant? The principle focus is to have the cable suspended by the rubber band.We don't know that to be the case. Not for sure anyway. When I first tried this many years ago... | |
| Springs under turntable That's exactly what we're talking about, putting them on springs.The subject of your post, drivers going back and forth, that motion is included in all the other vibrations. If this goes off in a different but related direction maybe that's becaus... | |
| Help a newbie understand First of all the meters are superfluous. Even peak meters lag a great deal. But the way to read yours is 0dB is 100 watts. Every 3dB up or down is twice or half the power. +6dB and 200 watts is just wrong. Sorry, but it is. +3dB is 200 watts. So y... | |
| Springs under turntable Right, lewm, and that was my objection as well. Problem is, the speaker is going to move and vibrate anyway. There's no stopping it. Its not just the drivers going back and forth either. The drivers create pressure changes inside and outside the c... | |
| ...Grounded or Ungrounded Power Cords... The US still has some millions of homes built back before the extra redundant earth ground became code. All those homes use power cords, and everything else, with no extra redundant earth ground. Just like with all those homes, there's a slew of p... | |
| Springs under turntable Sucks the life and dynamics. Still, has its uses. I put use a small amount in a few places to tame granite ringing. Sorbothane is in general too dampening unless maybe to tame too much hardness, etch, glare, ringing, etc. | |
| How much space between cables is enough? Cable Elevators are ceramic insulators commonly used on telephone poles. The top has a cradle or saddle shape with the cable normally laying in the saddle. Yellow rubber bands are stretched across this saddle. The rubber band stretches and support... | |
| How much space between cables is enough? No rule, not the same- and belief and reality, depends on who we are talking about. There's way more going on here than space. Check out my system. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 A long gradual process of trial and error going on there.... | |
| ...Grounded or Ungrounded Power Cords... The middle prong is an AC safety ground. It has exactly one purpose and that is to prevent electrocution. So remember- use a ground. Or else end up exactly like this:https://youtu.be/2OB7BSXhReA?t=164 | |

| Rel vs the world equally good or better results with the more affordable subwoofers? "better results with more subwoofers?"FIFY | |
| Buying speaker cables on-line: Is this advisable? Cables are the same as anything else. Only difference is buying used the selection is a little different. In my case I know from decades experience that Synergistic Research makes excellent cables. So I look for used in my price range. Then when I... | |
| Springs under turntable I've always been a cones and rigidity man.Me too! Everything on BDR. Everything! https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367Even so I always was aware of the drawbacks, just never thought this could possibly be the solution. Did not help AT ALL that... | |
| Length of speaker cables Just to be clear steven0713 when saying you will definitely hear worthwhile improvement with quality cable I mean quality cable, not that 4s11 stuff. You can spend a lot and still have crap if you're not careful. |
