| Benchmark ABH2 amp and full range electrostatics, e.g. CLX or Soundlab Holy cow. Imagine if you tried some Synergistic CTS or Atmosphere. After all you been through you'd think you'd died and gone to heaven. | |
| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts I just wanted to add a bit of information to readers about concerns with a somewhat related topic: aligning arrival times of midrange /treble soundwaves with bass soundwaves at our ears. Briefly stated: don't even bother to be concerned with it. ... | |
| On the long wall or short wall- Speaker set-up Avoid windows if you can. Even closed they're horribly noisy. My back yard is a forest. Even so the noise coming right through the window panes tool 1/2" thick MDF panels to shut out. Avoid architects if you can. They charge a fortune, and love co... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker Let the record show no one has come up with anything to challenge the trampoline. Super balls run in fear. Herbie's glide off into dark corners to hide. No amount of diamonds, springs, racquet or tennis balls can match the awesomeness of the tramp... | |
| Getting close to starting the upgrade process... Keep the sub. Add more if you want but never sell a sub. Just add more.Upgrade the table if you want. But try and understand, by far the best thing you can do right now is ditch anything multi-channel in favor of stereo. If you can get an integrat... | |
| A change in efficiency to the final sound Why the anger and bitterness?Not angry. Not bitter. Not even all that insulting. Read it again: "overthinking, shooting own foot, not seeing forest for the trees"These are all symptoms of a lack of perspective.A pretty common fault, when you think... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Interesting. Thanks! | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker Half measures. Everyone knows perfectly well there is only one real answer: Trampoline! | |
| Best way to A / B test amps? Use a switch? I still think the audiophile thinks his aural memory is much keener than it is and not susceptible to audio forum interference/influence. Oh no. How? How could that possibly be the case? Only if maybe someone popped out of the womb and straight aw... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? When people with such experience in audio like Nelson Pass, Rob Watts talk about measurements and correlation between SQ and measurements I respect their opinion.But how many people with such knowledge experience in audio are exist? Yeah. And how ... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? It's been my experience that those who hear a difference don't usually cite scientific findings to explain what they hear as they trust their ears.Bingo!That's why science exists in the first place, to explain human experience. Human experience do... | |
| A change in efficiency to the final sound I have read here that p/p tube amps sound their best when they have to work a bit harder , as opposed to a SET amp that sounds best near idle .Yeah, you will hear a lot of stuff like that. Consider the source: audiophiles. No greater propensity fo... | |
| On the long wall or short wall- Speaker set-up You will hear people tell you the side wall is definitely the best. You will hear people tell you that is crazy only the end wall in that room. For sure a whole bunch will tell you only spending as much money on professional acoustic consultants a... | |
| Best way to A / B test amps? Use a switch? Everyone knows it’s BY FAR better to A/B test with instantaneous switching than relying on memory and what you think you heard. Well, no, that is not the case at all.First of all what you suggest is impossible. Even instantaneous switching still t... | |
| speaker placement You'd be surprised how much difference the right stand can make. A good stand will first of all put the speakers tweeter and midrange at just the right height and angle. It will be massive, and stiff, and highly damped. Tap or knock it, the sound ... |
