| MM, MC, or MI cartridge RV, You are dead meat, at least in my experience. One of the principle reasons that I got out of vinyl was that I was compulsively listening to all of the audio thingies, like sound stage in particular. I venerated my "Living Stereos"! I came to r... | |
| Speaker positioning and center image depth bigtwin, I can understand what you have experienced but I think you (and others perhaps) may be missing the point about bringing the speakers out into the room. I'm using a equilateral set up with speakers about 9ft apart and 6ft from the wall beh... | |
| Lessons of youth When all was said and done (after getting sucked into all of the equipment hyperbole) what I came to realize was that using a manual camera (without auto focus, spot light meter, auto film advance, etc) and a good hand held light meter made a bett... | |
| Lessons of youth LOL, I visited one of those photography forums back in the film days when one could develop and print his own pictures. No one talked about what one did to take pictures only about things like the resolution of a 35mm lense on a 36 inch print or t... | |
| Speaker positioning and center image depth Why do you limit your observations to depth of center image? Why not depth of image at the extreme left and right? That's important too, no? What about basic speaker positioning issue of near field or distant/mid range. That too makes a big differ... | |
| Noisy Right Channel FWIW I don't feel that usually having 'matched' pairs is all that additive. At least I never used them in my ARC pre. Unless your pre-amp has provision for biasing small tubes I'd just cheap out and buy the Sovteks from the Tube store. If they are... | |
| Noisy Right Channel Switch your tubes channel to channel and see if the noise switches channels. If it does get new tube(s). Perhaps just reseating your tubes will solve your problem. | |
| Weird I doubt that the inversion of absolute phase has anything to do with your problem. What strikes me as possible though is that with both subs running perhaps you are just getting too much bass and this excess bass is muddying up your upperbass/lowe... | |
| Uneven room dimensions/reflections = uneven toe in as solution? You might try just shifting you listening seat a little toward the weak side. Not much...just until you get a solid center image. | |
| Schiit Loki + Mini Users If it is out in the open it shouldn't run hot, warm perhaps but don't put it in a cabinet or put it on heat producing sources. Then it can get quite warm. | |
| Volume Control Too Sensitive OP, FWIW, While you seem happy to be critical of a few who think your Bryston might be one of the sources of your problems (and I think you have more than just one) I don’t see you thanking those who spent time looking into your problems and prov... | |
| Volume Control Too Sensitive I suspect that he is using a clock dial to describe his volume control position with 6 being the bottom of his dial. This would be max attenuation. I assume that 12 o'clock would be the optimum position (many manufacturers recommend something betw... | |
| Volume Control Too Sensitive OP, FWIW read ghdprentice's post to rvpiano's thread about music v audio. It is excellent and mirrors my life experience. I agree with his advise re your Bryston. You need something in your system which you must buy on faith knowing that it can l... | |
| Turned back into a music lover Right hymn, wrong church! :-) | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? Nessun Dorma from Turandot by Puccini. 3 minutes of shear beauty - you never forget it and you never tire of it. |
