| Speaker Placement Advice Toe your speakers in until the axis' crosses in front of your listening position. This will reduce the reinforcement and reflections from the side wall next to the left speaker. If after you do this you still have a slight left sided off balance m... | |
| The eternal quandary Twoleftears, 'Accuracy' went out the windows when we selected our speakers and their set up. Nothing you can do will ever recreate exactly what the engineers put down. Not even close!Detlof, A 'benchmark' system! You are absolute right on! It does... | |
| First name basis? A rose by any names still smells....or something like that anyway. In forums you have chosen how you want to be addressed by the choice of moniker or by if/how you sign off your post. There is no discourtesy in addressing someone by their moniker.... | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? "Is the question as posed useful?"I didn't think so, that is why I posted. But, I don't think the question needs to embody the perfect reproduction of a live event issues that permeate the typical 'best' question, all you would need is a speaker/a... | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? How would a fella ever know if he had just heard the most transparent amp if he didn't have the most transparent speaker, what ever that might be? I always thought transparency was the end result of how an amp and speaker interfaced, complimented ... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Raul, What happens if we just go naked? They sell nude cartridges don't they. Maybe that's a combo made in heaven. :-) Come to think about it, heaven that is, two naked bodies might even be better than just one. I think I'll go try that..........:... | |
| The eternal quandary I re-read your initial post. I do not have this particular recording, but I have a lot of HM's. Most of them are very good, but I would never call them rolled off or dull, in fact on some I found there was a tendency to close mic the instruments, ... | |
| Dealing w reflective surface between loud speakers Your clarification of speaker type would certainly support your complaint. In addition to my comments about how to handle the problem if the speakers were front firing cone/boxes, consider that the back wave of the speaker needs to be hitting a su... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Rodman99999, Love the reference to an 8 track tape. Completely worthless. You didn't miss my point at all, did you. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Pubul57 Too bad we can't tell from the manner in which an opinion is given whether or not the opinion has any value beyond that of a classic testimonial. Some folks seem to be pre-disposed to hearing differences embodied in most tweaks and some th... | |
| Dealing w reflective surface between loud speakers For the less than absolute anal set up specialist, and for only those using typical forward firing cone driver speakers, if you can get those speakers out a couple of feet from the plane of the TV screen, which should be no problem at all if you h... | |
| Review: Jadis Orchestra Reference Integrated Tube amp FWIW, faced with a similar tone issue as you had with the JJ KT88's (upper bass bloom, etc) in a different amp, I simply changed some of the driver tubes from a brand known for warmth in upper bass and slightly soft highs, to a brand known for cla... | |
| poor source material If I had your problem I'd simply get a cheap 2d CD player and put a cheap equalizer between it and your receiver and reserve its use for those times you must hear the poorly recorded CD's. There is no really good way of dumbing down a system so ba... | |
| inserting new component--predictable results? Funny thing Drubin, and perhaps I'm just lucky, I've never had any recording sound worse when I have made a long term addition to my system, BUT I have not had a uniform improvement accross the board. A lot of dross remained just that, but a quite... | |
| Time to change. But to what? I believe they have have dealers on each coast as well as the Chicago and Texas areas. I don't know how much of the line they stock. If you want to trace one down call or e-mail Alan Yun at Silverline. He is very responsive. He will also deal with... |
