| Room Treatments, When are they required? Slappy, a good system is the one you spent your hard-earned money on and decided after weighing the options that you wanted to buy. How's that for a deflection.I will contend that a good system will not sound good in a bad room. It is possible for... | |
| Room Treatments, When are they required? I don't think a good system will sound like a good system anywhere. A good system will not overcome a bad room anymore than good speakers will overcome lamp cord for speaker wire, or MP3 as a source.I have heard good electronics in a room for whic... | |
| Room Treatments, When are they required? I used a TACT analizer a couple of weeks ago and found that my room wasn't as good as I thought it was. Just because you like the sound of your system doesn't mean it is accurate, or flat (if flat is even a priority).I agree that the room is just ... | |
| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA I can't imagine anyone going from a speaker of the quality of Kharma and then down-grading to a speaker as poor as the Von Schweikert! | |
| Is anyone listening to OLD 78's? I know the Dual CS 5000 is capable of doing 33, 45, and 78. I was mostly wondering if there was a market for something like his old 78's. I don't know anyone who listens to 78's now, but it seems like there must be a lot of good music there that n... | |
| VPI HW-16.5 vs HW-17 record cleaning machines I had a VPI 16.5 and thought it was a good cleaner. I prefered it to the Nitty Gritty cleaners. After several years with the 16.5 I sold it and bought a SOTA LPC which is a better built and more versitile machine.A friend bought a VPI 17 which I h... | |
| Speaker Wires on Carpet Rushton is right. Synthetic carpets are a dialectric! They WILL interfere with the electrical signal passing through the speaker cable. The better a speaker cable is shielded the less likely a listener is to notice a big improvement by raising the... | |
| How does good analog differ from good digital You're going to catch it for that question! Good vinyl sounds more 'live' than good digital. There are all kinds of superlatives that could be used to describe lots of different improvements over digital, but it all gets rather absurd. You heard h... | |
| I need help with my room I'm not necessarily trying to get a flat response, I just want my system to sound better. | |
| I need help with my room It is easy to forget how little information I included with my posts. I figure since I know what I did, that you must too! The measurements were taken many times. I think it was a total near seven. The microphone like type thing was placed on the ... | |
| If Thiel, Wilson, Sonus, made active speakers????? Pass Labs new speaker is active and they obviously designed the amplification for that model. One of the nice things about a design like that is that the builder knows exactly what is going into the cabinet, and therefore does not have to design ... | |
| High End Myth Glossary. Does that mean all vehicles driving 75mph must have the same engine? | |
| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? I forgot to mention the new Meridian speakers or the new Pass Labs speakers. I think the Meridian and Pass Labs is are a shot at a true SOTA active speaker. I don't know how either of them have been excepted, but Pass Labs certainly knows how to b... | |
| I need help with my room Here is a link to the graphs http://topwebpromotion.com/nate.htmI don't know if this will help at all but there are three graphs of what was measured in the listening room by Rooze. | |
| Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work I got the same RRL cleaner from a fellow AudioGoner, and was pleasantly suprised by how much better they worked than the Sota, and VPI cleaning fluids I have used in the past.Herman, why are you applying the fluid with an AudioQuest carbon fibre b... |
