| PSA: Short Unused Speakers and Subs in the Listening Room Rooms are more similar than most think. Geddes paper, the gold standard study and paper on this, is linked below. The one thing I would add, we didn't know enough back then (this was more than 30 years ago) about the importance of isolating speake... | |
| PSA: Short Unused Speakers and Subs in the Listening Room Speakers move when input voltage applied to the coil creates a magnetic field that attracts it towards, or repels it away from, the fixed magnet. Moving the cone with your finger does the reverse, creating a voltage in the output. This is exactly ... | |
| If you were to design a tone arm, what would it look like and feature? Every connection in a wire creates eddy currents and micro-arcing at the connection interface. This distortion is particularly harmful in a tone arm, owing to the fact the signal from the cartridge is the most highly amplified in all of audio. ... | |
| Origin Live Discovery 2 I’ve had such a great experience with Origin Live it has grown into something more, but no experience with the phono stage, so eager to hear if anyone has and what they think. I find it best with these things to take the time to do it right. How c... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables It was my great good fortune when the best dealer and audiophile I ever met took me under his wing and mentored me. This was back in the early 90’s. One thing I had a hard time understanding was the way Stewart could evaluate any component, any sy... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables jerryg123, Guess your explanation's is not as clear as you perceive it to be. Word salad.... Here it is: This "RLC network" isn’t really a "network" but rather an inherent property of engineering design. All cables have resistance, induc... | |
| Recording with bass to align my subs with my speakers Right. And nice tip to help find xo level. Thanks. | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables Always amazes me how something can be explained clearly over and over again and yet not catch on, while at the same time some false notion gets mentioned and takes hold and takes on a life of its own. There is no Zobel network, there is no RLC net... | |
| Suggestions for an integrated upgrade please Integrateds are the way to go, I've run them for years. The Raven Nighthawk or Blackhawk will give you everything you are looking for. I have The Blackhawk, it is an excellent amp with excellent imaging and bass. Its best feature though is after r... | |
| JBL L36 L36 were beyond my meager paper route money in 1973. My best friend got them but I waited until the L25 Prima went on sale, which was a good sale being as ugly as they are. L36 had the midrange and nice wood cabinet. We were college roommates and ... | |
| Recording with bass to align my subs with my speakers Woots, most of what I said is passed down from Duke, who makes the Swarm subwoofer system. Combined with a little of my own experience. But even a lot of that I owe to him. Probably would never have tried a DBA without reading about it here from g... | |

| Other factors affecting sound My room has been wired a number of different ways beginning with the normal outlet to outlet wiring and then being progressively upgraded to a dedicated 20A line, which was then upgraded to 4ga, then 240V with a 120V audiophile step-down transform... |
