| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Danny is Danny, at least we learn something from what he is saying, get a better understanding on how speakers work. Almost every speaker I have torn into has had cheap, or really cheap crossover parts. Even some more expensive speakers still ha... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers Pull your speakers out when listening. They should be a few feet out from your TV. So many HT (mine as well) have the speakers in-line or just in front of the TV. Have has great luck with heavy HT curtains, they work so well for windows, maybe p... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes "@sns Still, one can benefit from a 'clean' home network." This needs to be clearly defined. Are we talking about a clean network, or clean components from an audiophile stance? Sadly, us audio guys try to treat networking like our stereo systems... | |
| What is your scariest moment in High End audio? Vintage setup, so anything can happen. Added a sub a few months ago. Sounded great after getting it all sorted. Thought I'd swap out the speaker cables from the amp to the sub. 4ft of 10g wired in, over the zip cord that was thrown in for setup.... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes Just a warning, before everyone goes out and purchases enterprise networking gear. DON'T! Not unless you fully understand networking, layering, NAT, porting, etc.. Most of all know CLI commands. These switches are super hard to setup and maintain.... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @captouch that looks like a great music room. Think I understand better at what is going on. Everything looks a bit compressed, and yes, the room is filled. You might have a lot of speaker/power for that room, but that's ok. Had a thought, if yo... | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering Every room, and every system is different. My take is don't buy new stuff until you need it. Also what is the problem you are trying to solve for? Like are you missing bass, or are you missing deep bass? Run the mains full spread, add the sub, ad... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments You got a few issues going on. Think you have a couple nulls going on. The bass energy spike 30-40 is huge, then that massive hole at 50-80. Some peaks in the middle, with treble dropping off. This tells me you have a boomy setup, with bright mi... | |
| Don't Neglect to check your Caps! Yeah, if they are on the way out, it will be a drastic before/after! Done a couple sets of Vintage speakers now, the improvements have been huge! Almost like getting new speakers. Depending on the replacement quality, it can be done fairly cheaply... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? There are a few different things going on here. 1. Most speakers comes crap crossovers. Even with higher end speakers, there are compromises with the crossovers. Any company will skimp on parts for profit. Putting in higher end parts of the same... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? It totally depends on the music, sometimes I just want to feel the bass, other times I want to be able to discern the difference between a bass guitar and bass drum. Think most of the time, the bass resolution is in the recording. Some Hip-Hop w... | |
| Buyer Beware So you purchased 2 used cables, correct? Then after some time, you realized used cable #1 is defective? Instead of contacting the person you purchased it it, you thought it would be warrantied from the manufacture, why you never made a purchase ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes So much misunderstanding on how networking and computing work. AWS/Cloud = some one else computer All cloud platforms are just server farms that you pay to use. There are several tiers and quality. You can even pay AWS for a specific server tha... | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical Even DAC's that use the same chip set all sound different. Think the less revealing the system is the less you will hear the differences. Also source makes a huge difference. If we are talking about low-rez streams vs hi-rez streams, there is less... | |
| Where is the bass on my B&W 802d speakers? Have you checked the basics? Have they always been low on bass, or is it a new thing? Has anything changed? Being in a NULL is a real thing, and almost nothing will fix that other than moving the seating spot, or speakers. Just having gone thro... |
