| soffit in listening room Sure. Cut a sheet of OC703 to make a test panel and stick it up raw wherever you think it might work. Listen and compare. Don't really need 2", for treble/midrange 1" will do fine. Pin cushion pins (the ones with the little round plastic knobs, no... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? Which yeah Tim sounds about right to me. But however it happens and whatever the explanation the fact is those drums are completely physically anchored in their locations. They never move around the stage even as they change a bit in tone and volu... | |
| Need some help. The answers are all over the site on the various subwoofer threads. Whole bunch of them recently. Look especially for the comments from noble_100 (Tim) and Audiokinesis (Duke) as they have the most experience. Audiokinesis especially does this pro... | |
| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS goldfish2a But what’s wrong with people,s ears do they really like a sound that’s totally different to ,say a classical orchestra, or acoustic guitar?Why the flat harsh dry sound, I feel like I,m on a parallel universe Listening to some of the mo... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker kenjit So why cant you take a mid priced speaker costing say $500 a pair and instead of using drivers that cost $50 a piece, use state of the art drivers costing $300 a piece? that would still only be $250 more per driver which means $1000 more th... | |
| Ribbon midrange pros and cons Well, the biggest con is they really aren't all that great.Ribbons are very fast, but flexible. So good at frequencies so high your dog can't even hear them, because those don't call for moving much volume. Go even a little lower though into the m... | |
| Smartphone audio sadness Ahhh, another poorly written post misleading people into providing the wrong responses! I blame public education. And Jack Dorsey.Okay, so its: what i was saying was that the vast amount of space dedicated to the phone’s visual capabilities reflec... | |
| Will we now see "Borophene" cables? Well its been going on 30 years now since I compared enough to conclude cables are equally important contributors to system sound quality as any amp, phono, or speaker. That's thirty years of watching one thing after another come and go. Any list ... | |
| Need some help. Which sub? At this point I'm thinking Gary Oldman's character in Leon The Professional (the longer/better version of The Professional) when he calls for backup. How many? "All of them!" What do you mean? And he screams, "ALLLLLLL OF THEMMMMMMMMM!!... | |
| audiophile fuses for Luxman, Wyred 4 Sound, and Simaudio In terms of components, digital is so far behind analog I didn't even bother trying these in my CDP. So no idea really about the DAC. The biggest most clear cut improvement was in my Melody tube integrated amp. Coming in a fairly close second was ... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? Yes what you describe makes perfect sense. Every room has lots of modes, or places where certain frequencies reinforce and make for a lot louder sound. The exact location of these modes changes depending on frequency. But if you play a steady tone... | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass Close, yeah. Remember the goal is more modes so if one is right in the corner then try and get the other a little one way or the other. But if you can't, you can't and in any case more is better. Smoothing the hump, I can relate since I have the s... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? rauliruegasYou might want to think a little about that 1% distortion number. Not whether it is true or accurate, but whether it matters. When it comes to really low bass, its hard to see how it matters.Low bass waves are 30, 40, 50 to even 60 feet... | |
