| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? mijostyn the most important thing I have learned in this passionate hobby over the last 55 years is, Never Trust Your Ears.

| Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :) So okay Erik serious question. Leftover pina colada. Whole blender thingy goes in the freezer. Okay. Got it.

| Human Loudspeaker Review Thread Was Removed I vacillate between ignoring the nonsensical word salad of irrelevance and linking to his work so others can see and judge for themselves the credibility of our self-proclaimed "reigning theoretical physicist." | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? Actually guys the best and easiest way to go is four subs in a distributed bass array. I know. I’ve tried. You’re kidding yourselves if you think its easy or even possible to get really good bass from any one sub. Cannot be done. No matter where y... | |
| Dual vs single sub The Ford Motor Company did a study some years ago, to determine what exactly was needed for really good bass. What they found is that below something like 80 Hz the bass on virtually all recordings is mono. I just got my Swarm-based distributed ba... | |
| Adding a Pre-Out to an integrated tube amp Well I went to Vetco and bought two 10k and two 1k resistors, soldered the 10k in series with the speaker out, soldered the 1k across the RCA to ground, and guess what? Nothing blew. Works just fine. The hardest part turned out to be getting enoug... | |
| Image/soundstage and punch/bass I just finished building my own Swarm system with 2 Dayton amps and four 10" subs. Total cost including premium rosewood veneer was about $2800. Even with just a quick setup and level adjustment the bass is deeper, faster, more powerful and much m... | |
| Blind Testing is Dead - Long live My Wallet testing. Which reminds me, Keith Herron wrote or said in an interview some years ago that one thing he discovered in working on his phono stage was people can hear differences of as little as 0.03dB. And no that's not a misprint, its three one-hundredths o... | |
| Human Loudspeaker Review Thread Was Removed Well if they are going to let geoffkait keep spamming his business its only fair they let Human slide. I mean, even the inHuman seems tame by comparison. http://www.humanspeakers.com/human/inhuman.htmhttp://www.machinadynamica.com/machina43.htm | |
| Rogue RP 1 preamp curious incident White noise? So we're talking about a very faint hiss.So you listen with your amp and speakers at a level that pleases you with your classical chamber music and its so faint its down there in the noise floor and you never even notice. Then the nex... | |

| Trove of Master Tapes from 1960's and 70's So Houston had them just sitting around for decades, and nobody there cares until they get sold and moved to Chicago. Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till its gone... | |
| Dual vs single sub As far as my understanding of psychoacoustical bass principles and DBAs are concerned, I think of Duke as Mr. Miogi and he's showing me how to wax his car. Mr Miyagi? Really? And after he said these are not the subs you are looking for? | |
