| New Room Long wall or short wall? I'm with Ivan on this one: try the long wall first. My room is close to the same size as yours and I use the long wall as well. My speakers are about 10.5' apart and 1.5' out from the front wall and I sit about 7' back with my head very close to t... | |
| I'm back now to my CDP Thanks guys for the support. I feel like I just went through some 12 step program as I figured this out.I, too, was perusing the ads for a better CDP after posting this thread but the really good ones still cost more than I can afford and this TEA... | |

| Outstanding Service from Logitech Sounds like Logitech is to audio what Keurig is to coffee makers. I only wish a lot more companies would model their customer service after these two. They would have loyal customers forever.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Cayin TA-30 Operating Instructions/Biasing It's very unfortunate that Paul Grzybek of Tube Audio Design passed away as he modded all the TA-30 units he sold to where they were easily biased from the outside. He mentioned that unless you know what you're doing, it can be quite dangerous. I ... | |
| Quietest fan for room I have two of those Vornados and believe me, they are not quiet, at least in the bedroom. The one I have in the living room is further away from me than the one in the bedroom but it still interferes with the music.They do, however, a great job at... | |
| Hearing Tests I think Lowrider57 may be onto something. My mothers hearing got more sensitive to higher frequencies although her hearing acuity, overall, got worse.There are very few bright recordings that tend to annoy. It's usually a bad recording (that old '... | |
| Hearing Tests Audiosampling,I scored great up to 13Khz and then all bets were off. I could, however, detect down to 1db difference with 100% accuracy and down to a 10c pitch difference with 100% accuracy as well. I guess somethings work and make up for others t... | |
| Hearing Tests Kr4,I'm the first to admit that there is some expectation bias. This is where a blind test is the only real way to assess hearing ability, but it does give one an indication of just how lousy one's hearing can be....:-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Hearing Tests Sorry Kr4 for being so dense. It was from the site that Sabai listed:http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/hearing.htmlAll the best,Nonoise | |
| Hearing Tests All of my "@-**" indicates where I was unable to hear anything further. If I set it up wrong, I apologize. This was new to me and I just followed the directions (maybe incorrectly?)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Hearing Tests Agreed. At the phys.com site, IKhz is the reference. At the digital recording site, mentioned above, there is a graph that closely mirrors mine and is indicative of hearing loss. Yet I still can hear and enjoy, albeit with the hearing loss. I list... | |
| Hearing Tests With all things turned off (as best I can), through my Shure SRH-940s and my Centrance DACmini, I could hear up to around 14.3Khz at www.phys.comAt the talkclassical site, the graph shows my hearing topping out here:12 Khz @-24db8Khz @-69db6Khz@-7... | |
| Best finger food for audiophile listening Harry said so, so it must be true.There's something to be said about regimenand those who think it should be observed...:-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage Everyone knows that shippers have the potential to really mess things up. Any package should be packed as carefully as possible. You'd have to more than a few screws loose if you just stick something haphazardly in a box and send it on its merry w... |
