Different sound between two channels
Thanks Zaikeman,My room is symmetrical in that it is a dedicated audio/video room and it is 13' by 17' with only a couch in it. I do test with mono recordings and use the mono function of my Pass X1 otherwise. There may be anomolies when using the... 
Tuner connection and sound variance. HELP
Is it possible when I get my Magnum Dynalab MD100 that the problem I described above will be resolved or am I likely to experience the same phenomenom? 
Minor phase plate incident with midrange of Hales
Dawgbyte, I love my T5's. I love them more now that I've replaced the voicecoils in both the tweeters as my tweeters were unbalanced since day one. Since I only realised the problem, I just changed the voice coils out and now the sound is better t... 
Is it O.K. to mass load a X250 Pass Amp?
After a while I noticed that my system soundes more listenable without mass loading the amp.Taking off the weight on the amp lightened up the sound but in a good way.Mass loaded the sound was too thick, too full. I do like the effects of the mass ... 
Is yamaha CT1010 tuner good?
Kotta, I actually did try the Akai but it was with a different antenna and with different interconnects. It was an unfair ab comparison but the Yamaha did sound a bit cleaner and the Akai had a bit more sparkle.I'm waiting to receive some OK inter... 
Is it O.K. to mass load a X250 Pass Amp?
It appears everyone is against the idea of mass loading my X250 but my amp is not getting any hotter by doing it the way I'm doing it. The amp appears to be luke warm to the touch but not in any way hot.Is it still damaging if there is no heat dif... 
Is it O.K. to mass load a X250 Pass Amp?
Muralman1, Believe it or not, the Pass amp with the weighting does sound significantly better. As it was as easy as lifting of the weights to hear the difference I tried it both ways back and forth and the sound was consistantly better with the we... 
Is it O.K. to mass load a X250 Pass Amp?
I was able to put weight without covering any of the ventilation slots by putting the sand in smaller containers. I've decided that although weight on the speakers may have some charms, I find it tends to cut off some of the high frequencies I'm u... 
Strangest Tweak?
I've recently gotten into the tweak thing and now I can't imagine my system without the tweaks. Every carefuly placed cone adds to the sonic characteristics of my system. It's fun to play and manipulate the sound. It doesn't necessarily change for... 
Electrical question re dedicated line
Newbee, I'm running my amp through the ultimate outlet section of the P500(non current limiting) and the rest of my gear, preamp and CDP to regenerated power.The amp sounds better through the ultimate outlet section than straight from the wall.Mur... 
Best Isolation Devices?
Would an isolation shelf be significant under my Titanium cones under my CDP? My CDP is on Titanium cones and directly on the top shelf of my Atlantis rack. I'm thinking of putting an isolation shelf under the Titanium cones on the top shelf of my... 
Wattagate connectors
Actually the gold plated are supposed to have a warmer sound. 
Best Isolation Devices?
Thanks for all your input and sorry for the bold print of my origional post. I was frustrated in experimenting with different tweeks and forgot that it's about having fun and enjoying the music. After all it's only a hobby.That being said I discov... 
speaker placement help
It sounds like the best speaker configuration for me is having my head equidistant from the distance between the midline of the speaker to the midline of the other speaker. I'm actually blown away on how good this setup works for me. I'm getting t... 
Hales owners discussion
I've got a pair of T5's also and I think they are sounding quite good. I've recently started tweaking my system with some very positve results. My Hales have 3" cones under them(one brass in front and two stainless steel in back)and that made a po...
