| Why are brick and mortar HiFi dealers so bad? The only good ones I know are both retired now. All the ones left in the Seattle area are awful. Maybe its me, but they seem even worse now than 20-30 years ago. Back then most places were happy to help and indulge me or even just let me alone to ... | |
| Preamp connection to multiple powered subwoofers You're over thinking it. In practice it just doesn't matter. Barring some unforeseen truly mismatched gear that is.Let me show you just how little it matters. My integrated tube amp doesn't even have a pre- or sub- out. So I made one. Disconnected... | |
| advice on possible (REL?) sub for PSB Imagine B speakers Tonight is one of those nights. Almost feel like saying get the REL, its The Lord of the Subs, the One Sub to Rule Them All. Because, tired of explaining. But yet not feeling quite that sarcastic. On the fence. So do yourself a favor, type into th... | |
| REL subwoofer using only red cable not yellow per REL technical dept Do you REL guys have any idea what you're doing? Or is it all colors right on down the line? | |
| Need tips to better my sound Given where you are with your components, I recommend holding off on millercarbon's recommendations (for now).Right, only David_ten forgot to add, "and forever". Because for guys who never experienced or don't understand the value of these things ... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? What do you think is actually happening when you raise your cables from your floor? What was affecting the sound with the cables on the floor? How? With what effects?If for instance you are posting some constant sonic effect on the signal, wha... | |
| Time for a new a/v receiver could use some input! $2500 is an awful lot of money to throw away on a receiver. Are you sure you wouldn't rather have a really nice sounding stereo integrated? Compare and see what I mean. Receivers are the bottom of the audiophile barrel. Then when you scrape down j... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? Does anyone technically know what happens when you aim two subs at each other? Say a foot or 2 feet apart . What do you mean? In phase? Or out of phase? Is there an ideal distance apart to do with frequency? What do you mean? Are we still talking... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? Duke LeJeune is Da Man. Aka Audiokinesis, he has done more for this than anyone, which this will probably instigate a reaction owing to the fact his one fault is being blessed with an overabundance of modesty. Seriously though the research goes ba... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? This is gold:But the lack of money push you to be creative, on the right or wrong track anyway, but creative you must be, if you want some sound quality results with your audio system... ( money for sure is not the warrenty of Hi-FI " per se") And... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Let me restate my point - while there’s obviously nothing wrong with DIY results can be just as hit and miss for poor people as they can for rich people. Enthusiasm can be very contagious.Say that’s actually pretty good. I mean it actually makes s... | |
| Hum mystery - Crown K2 amp driving passive subs Its weird, the 4 seconds part. Try having everything plugged into the same outlet (strip, conditioner) but that's probably not it. More likely its a fault in the Crown. One thing I do know, you will want to run the mains full range and not cross t... | |
| Pre-Amp Suggestions Yes. Use this as an opportunity to go stereo. Compare quality and price. Then if you still want to stick with multi-channel at least you know just how much you're missing- and how much more you're paying for the privilege of having worse sound. | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? So we can see there's nothing wrong with this audiophile. Thank you, mahgister. The exception that proves the rule. | |
| Tim Mrock, Krissy Mrock, and The Perfect Path I’ve heard bigger sound and deeper/wider sound stages, mostly room dependent, but I have NEVER heard the kind of clarity the system is getting no matter the cost of the system, especially since the mats started going onto the speakers. This includ... |
