| 1973 1973. My friend had this album, really different but really, really good. For some reason they cheaped out on the cover, just plain black with this triangle and a rainbow. Then when you open it up, same thing, only a squiggly line. Never could fig... | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane Here’s the problem with "system matching": complimentary flaws.Too analytical? Match it up with too warm.Too bright? Match it up with too dark.Too lean? Match it up with too full.On and on. Which granted you might be able to pull off. Until you ch... | |

Well let’s see... it took me hours and hours of tweaking and measuring and trial and error to get the combination of speaker placement and listening position optimized. Then another hour or so tweaking toe in to get the perfect balance of sound st... | |
| Question for experienced distributed bass array users Right. I have one Talon Roc, two sealed 10" and two ported 10". Main speakers are Talon Khorus. In the beginning with just the one Talon Roc I tried many different locations none of them working until I finally gave up and lived with the least bad... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution The need to match subs all stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of how bass works in a room and what you need to do to get good bass. Almost everyone is held back by the old school thinking where the sub needs to be as "fast" or at least soun... | |
| Its the recording stupid!! I think the key is you asked if this ever happens when listening to your stereo. This should never happen when listening to your stereo. This should only happen when listening to some stranger's stereo. Even then not often. Like maybe the first ti... | |
| Question for experienced distributed bass array users Wait- what thread is this? What was the question again? Oh yeah: Question for experienced distributed bass array users Really?

| Proper Ground for Tonearm and Turntable Right. Static. Sometimes just pulling a record out of the sleeve generates enough static the sleeve wants to stick and the record is attracting dust like a magnet. Get a ZeroStat. Meantime go to the store and buy Static Guard or whatever anti-stat... | |
| It was 50 years ago today... Seven? So we were about the same age watching them on Ed Sullivan. I wonder, did your folks find them uncomprehendible as mine did? I mean they didn’t want to let us watch them, but they were on Ed Sullivan so pretty much had to (there’s like two ... | |
| Question for experienced distributed bass array users I'd go with two.Mine started out with one Talon Khorus sub. Then I built 2 sealed and 2 ported cabs all using the same 10" Morel drivers and powered by 2 Dayton amps. Awesome results and I was initially going to sell the Talon. Until for kicks dec... | |

Now I still sometimes read reviews but what you really want to know is: how to learn about today's audio world Which is... | |
