| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective Extended highs.I've been trying to get my mind around that term for some time. Does it mean extended bandwidth? Does it mean greater resolution or transparency of the high frequency information? Does it mean increased high frequency response, as i... | |
| No CD with works by Alexander N. Skrjabin So long as you are researching under that spelling you are not too likely to find much. Try 'Alexander Scriabin' and you will find much to choose from. I have in my collection the complete Etudes by Piers Lane on Hyperion, his 24 Preludes by Pizar... | |
| good speaker with Sound stage behind???? Shadrone, Man I wouldn't own those speakers if you paid me! A FR for a maggot's lunch! :-)Seriously, and probably the subject for a different thread, but since its about a recessed stage - I have two amps which allow triode v pentode switching on ... | |
| Chopin Fantasie Impromptu, Opus 66 Hi Jax2, Kissin DOES make it his own, doesn't he. :-) I've got Pletnev on my order list, but I'm waiting for some more to get there before I hit the button. I'll let you know when I hear it. I'm now more curious than ever. | |
| Superphon Basic/Rev2 or Creek OBH12 Of the two you mention, I would get the Superphon and I've never heard it. I used Creeks for a while. I found them 'additive' in that the highs became a bit edge/bright. Not as neutral as you might like, but its subtle and easy to miss. I found a ... | |
| PERFECT 10w x 18d x 9h room, any good? Here is a set up to try in a narrow room and has allowed me to maintain some spread between the speakers and far enuf away from the listening chair. It should give you a reasonable sound stage. Set you speakers out into the room so the fronts are ... | |
| Harwood Flooring Information For Dedicated Room On my 1st level floor I used 1" T&G Oak nailed on 1" plywood laid over 2x6 T&G doug fir over 12" joists on 16" centers. On the second level I used 1" T&G oak over and nailed to 1" plywood which was screwed and glued on 10" joists on 16... | |
| Power cord on audio innovations l2 pre amp Save your money for better basic components or buy more music. Power cords are basically a tweak level component which benefits a well matched, properly set up, and resolving system. A Stringreen said, try before you buy. | |
| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help Stringreen, You raise an interesting point about connectors/connections v wiring. FWIW I have a friend who is an astrophysist (a real rocket scientist who consults with NASA and is presently in China attending their most recent manned launch). He ... | |
| PERFECT 10w x 18d x 9h room, any good? It could work well in a near(er)field listening set up, but you will either need domestic furnishings or acoustic treatments, or a combo of both, to control reflections, especially off the side walls and floor. Not perfect dimensions, but it will ... | |
| The lid closed ? Off in use, on when not. What I have done, is remove the hinges from the lid/table and place four (one on each corner) rubber 1'square 1/4 inch high 'feet'you can get at any hardware store in the section for furniture pads, feet, etc. I put them s... | |
| Removing the ground on PC? Musicnoise/Carl109, A question..........I have a source connected to a power conditioner with PC and an IC to the pre-amp. I have the Pre-amp PC going to the same power conditioner and its IC to an amp. I have the Amps connected to a difference po... | |
| Removing the ground on PC? My Wadia 302 has a tendency to cause hum in some set ups - I just cut the ground prong off a PC to cure it. Don't need the add on 'cheater plug' and you get a much more secure connection. FWIW, it came with a standard 3 prong plug and the manual s... | |
| Holographic imaging Musicnoise, I didn't choose to list stuff I can't endorse beyond its application to my system and my sensitivities/sensibilities. So I took a pass on all wires and tweaks. Far too subjective for me. :-) For my listed stuff I can give you a reasona... | |
| Hearing Loss & Equalization 40db down at 3000hz is not something you can restore with any equalizer I am familar with. You may find one with a 16db boost potential but I'd think it would be accompanied by a lot of distortion. 6db boost is probably do-able. Sounds like an ine... |
