| Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used? Cinematic Systems, Does this EFT devise measure things like width, height, and depth of image? Does it measure intensity of reflections from the rooms surfaces? Or does it just measure frequency response (not that that is a bad thing to do)? | |
| Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used? Don't forget the program for setting up specific brands of speakers in various sized rooms on the Rives site. I have found that it is a better starting point than Cardas but both are just starting points. Its easy to get the initial triangle set u... | |
| Tweaks That Don't Work Aggielaw, I see this as a very rational request and wish that it could be implemented without rancor, but I just don't see how. My latest successfully implemented tweak will always be someone else's snake oil. And I'll likely think you lack perspe... | |
| Where to place room treatment? Front and back wall treatments are usually best treated with a materiel that is diffusive as opposed to absorbtive, but much depends on the types of speakers you are using, their proximity to the walls, the location of your listening seat, and the... | |
| Speaker/Amp Impedence Interface....... Thanks for the responses. Now time for the dumb question! Would a rise in output impedence from an amp which resulted in a loss of damping as suggested by both Sean and Tom cause a loss of control of the bass driver resulting in a loss of apparent... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? Rod, Just for clarification, I was referring to the Technic's SP 10, the Kenwood from the L series (07?) and I forgot to mention the Nakamichi Dragon, which could even compensate for off center holes in LP's. You asked for the Best with no indicat... | |
| Speaker design myths revealed I'm not an expert on speaker design, but I can assure you of one thing - several of these questions and answers would certainly disinterest me in this man's designs. For the life of me I can't even imagine an infinitely large baffle - for a home s... | |
| hilary hahn..violinist My guess is that she is one of several young players who will still be around 10 years from now. She is very good, but who knows how she will develope. As it is now I don't think she has come close to equaling any of the greats in the pieces that ... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? For vintage DD tables, Technic's and Kenwood come immediatly to mind. Both are hard to come by (in excellent condition anyway) and the Kenwood is hard to find and fairly expensive. But, then you knew that........ | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? This will not resolve the (again) growing format dispute on this thread, however FWIW, IMHO, there are great silient LP's out there, new and old, and a lot of noisy LP's, of revered musical performances and audiophile junk. Ditto on CD's. The only... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? Psychicanimal, And that difers from pop music, how. Is pop music in all its various forms (including smooth jazz!) being composed and recording by rich philantropists? 95% crap with a few gems thrown in just to keep you interested and coming back,... | |
| Only three manufacturers? Much overhyped, IMHO (I'm an ex Thiel owner as well as a user of Quad's). But if you think you can hear the difference, its important to you, and you like the sound that these speakers bring to your room, why not! | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling TWL, Maybe its because the sand is wet? Did you consider that. Your friend should loose some weight, for his health sake, if nothing else. :-) BTW when you and Tom are asking these kind of questions and/or making observations about a competitors p... | |
| Re-biasing a CJ Premier 8 Fernando, I don't know where you are getting your price quotes, but I just check the web site of Triode Electronic's. He is selling matched quads of SED (the old Svetlana brand) for 95.90. According to my calculations that would bring the cost of ... | |
| What about a product can irritate you? Mechanical noise, unnecessary lights that can't be defeated, unusual output/input connector fittings and products furnished without a schematic. |
