| Interconnect Directionality In this specific example, these cables were made by hand by myself but there was no controlling for directionality “at the factory,” because at the time of construction I didn’t know directionality existed. I learn more everyday. There are 3 condu... | |
| Interconnect Directionality By listening, what I can hear is that when one is “backwards” and the other “forwards”, there seems to be a phase issue where the imaging is less precise. If both are backwards OR both are forwards, the phase issue goes away. I cannot easily disti... | |
| Interconnect Directionality I experimented with a pair of interconnects in a different location in my audio chain and again it seems like interconnect cables have directionality to them. When they are going “the right away,” there is what I will call a “phase issue” that goe... | |
| Polk Audio LSiM 707's HiFI? I had the 703’s for a short while. They sounded really good. They shined with classical instruments and I really loved how they reproduced piano: very natural sounding. Also, I love ring radiator tweeters. I was first turned on to them with the Po... | |
| Audiocubics ? I tried to buy one of his R-Cube volume controllers recently but PayPal refuses to let you pay. I had no luck contacting him. Have you checked out the Khozmo preamps? They make really nice stepped attenuator passive preamps with an option for remo... | |
| Influential....... Wish I could hear them all. I’ve heard the Infinity IRS Vs and they blew my socks off. I’ll never forget the first track I heard on them. It was a solo violin and it sounded like the violinist was in the room with us and about 7 feet behind the sp... | |
| Subwoofer recommendation for swarm How do you distribute the subs? Can they all be on the same side of the room or on just two walls? | |
| Subwoofer recommendation for swarm Would something like a miniDSP with 4 output channels fit the bill?Duke - Do you recommend trying to feed a stereo signal to the swarm? Summing left and right to mono? Only running the right channel to all four subs? Something else? | |
| Speaker toe in Yep, that’s how I toe-in my speakers. I also use corner placement and sealed bookshelves. In a sense, I don’t really have sidewalls. There’s an article somewhere online that talks about this. The guy talks about how he went from a heavily treated ... | |
| Alternatives Software for iTunes on Mac Another vote Audirvana. I’m not aware of better audio playback software for Mac. It can also stream Tidal from within the app and you can remote control it with your phone. | |
| Good CDTransport (player) without DAC? Cambridge Audio CXC | |
| What I’ve learned, so far Thanks for the write up. One of the things I’m learning right now is that cables matter immensely. Power cables gave me a big bang for the buck. Speaker cables and interconnects let you tailor the sound to your liking. I’m on a solid core kick rig... | |
| PS Audio Support We dropped in one day, got a tour, listened to the IRS V’s and met Paul. Felt very welcome. Great group of guys and gals. I really enjoy the Ask Paul videos he posts everyday. | |
| Interconnect Directionality Photons have zero mass although they carry momentum. Or I should say they can transfer momentum. | |
| Interconnect Directionality You guys are fun. Electrons and photons are what make the audio circuit go ‘round. Geoff is just being more technical. Electrons don’t bump into each other like billard balls. They are surrounded by self-generated electric fields (and magnetic fie... |
