| filters on speaker cables It could very well be the way your room interacts with the speakers is causing your excess bass (if I read that correctly) and anything you do to the cables will be for naught. I have monitors that "only" reach down to the low 40s but I can measur... | |

| Want to hire NAS expert That's not a bad idea. Also, any big company would have IT staff that could easily fix your problem as well as a well rated computer repair shop. Check out some yelp reviews. Side jobs are appreciated in this economy. :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Cable Controversy Psag, it's all system dependent. It's a great goal to come up with something that won't hurt the signal but isn't that the goal of most cable makers? There's no magic bullet of a cable that can be all things to suit everyone's needs. Simply changi... | |
| New Room (from House to Apt) advice wanted on minimizing complaints Yes, it's the bass that people hear far more than anything else. I know because I can hear my neighbors bass and not much else. If you can't afford the additional dry wall, one way is to hang heavy rugs directly behind your speakers. You can get c... | |
| Cable Controversy The one thing I've taken away from just about every thread on cables is that:1) No single type of cable that works well in one system is going to work as well in another.2) Since there are no absolutes due to all the variables, try different ... | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables I was a big solid core devotee until I discovered that it's all system dependent. With my Tonian Labs TL-D1s, Tempo Electric solid silver SCs made for the best sound (even better than the Clear Day) but with my Clearwave Duet 6 monitors, Zu Audio ... | |

If you don't want to spend a small fortune on a conditioner, I agree with lowrider57 and suggest you plug the amp directly into the wall and get a Blue Circle Thingee for everything else. It works very well for me.The reviewer, Paul Candy, felt it... | |

| ???Why The HUGE Discrepancy in Sensitivity Ratings??? These last posts from timlub, erik_squires and bombaywalla should be carved in stone. | |
| ???Why The HUGE Discrepancy in Sensitivity Ratings??? When I got my Clearwave Duet 6 monitors, I questioned the lowish sensitivity (85db) and was told by the designer that lots of speaker makers fudge the specs. He also told me that they are actually closer to 87db in a real room. At least he was hon... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report I just now listened to Quadro Nuevo's Buongiorno Tristezza. For the evening, I was half a world away. | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? I'm not being realistic enough. I've grabbed a few of brass rings and the first one was good enough. | |
| Lawyer Who Sued Led Zeppelin Suspended If only Bach could sue: he used descending chords as well. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? I just have to add that now that I’ve removed the source’s PC from the same outlet as the integrated, the sound has clean up measurably. I didn’t think it would be as dramatic an improvement but it goes to show that there’s always the potential to... |
