| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Yes dtximages my electrician had the same reaction. This was back when my listening room was being built as part of a major remodel. This was also nearly 30 years ago. Didn’t know near what I do now. It wouldn’t have added much cost either in wire... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? noromance: I know you have a lot of concrete in your rack. But if it's sitting on bouncy floors, what then? Well what then is mass equals inertia. That much mass simply cannot be moved very fast without a great deal of energy. Way more energy tha... | |
| KEF Conjugate Load C 80 Crossover question Just one question: What is the question? | |
| Component Advice for Small Room with Lively Surfaces Thanks very much for your suggestion. Very much appreciate it. Had not even considered the setup you recommended. Sound quality is much more important than pretty furniture so wide open there. You have a phenomenal system...would you recommend... | |
| have you ever bought stereo without listening first The fact of the matter is high end stores may be accessible in big cities but high end components never are. By the time we drill down to exactly what we want and even if we find say a dealer who carries Synergistic Research he will never have in ... | |
| Left/Right Channels One time by accident I reversed the channels on the cartridge pins, phono stage, amp, and speakers. Everything sounded just fine, except the sound stage had moved three feet further back, behind me, and upside down. | |
| Component Advice for Small Room with Lively Surfaces Good deep bass is the one thing you can absolutely get, simply use a DBA with either one amp and four subs (Audiokinesis Swarm), or four powered subs, or a mix like mine. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Do a search for DBA, distributed b... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. The premise is bogus and counterproductive. A good system reproduces the signal, period. If you think otherwise that will only lead you to select for colorations that catch your ear or you happen to favor for now. Colorations however always eventu... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? Nix the down firing. That produces the most floor interaction which muddies the bass and obscures the midrange most especially with the suspended plywood floors found in most modern construction homes. Interesting. Except mine fire right into the ... | |
| Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower Yes. | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? That's where I was. Had one Talon Roc sub that seemed to do everything right, except it just wouldn't go low. Exactly like yours, it was just way down at those low frequencies. It is, or was at the time, a really highly regarded and powerful sub. ... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? Its not the manner. Its the frequency. At low bass frequency the wavelengths are as long or longer than the room. So long that no matter where you put the sub or what direction the sound travels out and reflects and can even return all the way bac... | |
| Can streamed Music sound better on a Sunday? You're not crazy Ray, probably just paying attention. That's the way it went with me. People would say their system sounds better late at night when the power is cleaner. Right. Dream on. Until one afternoon I put on a CD that I was used to hearin... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? The gift that keeps on giving- But I Still Want a Subwoofer! That's fine, get one. Yes, I actually bother to read such drivel. Otherwise, how you gonna know its drivel? We read him so you don't have to! | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? You know the answer: which sub matters far less than how many. They can be upfiring, downfiring, tubes laying sideways firing or mounted up on the wall ceiling firing. Just as long as there's four firing. Then your 20-ish range will no longer be v... |
