| Cable lifters/towers- voodoo or the real thing? Digsmithd -- I'm curious. What kind of floor is in your listening room: concrete slab or wood floor over joists? | |
| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr Tbg, I'm sorry. The "they" I was referring to was the little bowls themselves. What physics tells us is that for a rigid object, rigidly mounted, to reflect a sound wave in air, it must have its smallest dimension at least half that of the wavelen... | |
| Comparing Acoustic System to Synergistic Reseach Don't be lazy. Call Richard Bird at Rivas and be serious about implementing his recommendations. I bet it costs you less AND you'll get real-world results! | |
| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr Bill, it's called the "Emperor's New Clothes" syndrome. It exists in all fields of human endeavor, because concious deception is a uniquely human trait, and the "Achilles Heel" of our species ;--(( | |
| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr Tbg, they simply can't be doing anything to the sound waves once they're out of the speakers and into the air/room, because 400 years of experimental physics say it isn't possible. Maybe they have an affect on the working of the equipment itself? ... | |
| Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ? Why don't you just try some solid copper from HD as I suggested. I'm not recommending it as a permanent solution; but it will tell you right away if that (speaker cables) is the problem. Another thing you want to double check is your amplifier tap... | |
| Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ? one foot long, each side short as possibleOrdinarily, a short(er) cable (anything under 5 feet is sufficient) will help preserve the limited damping capability of a tube amp. However with (especially) a braided cable, like the Kimber, a very short... | |
| Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ? And how long are your Kimber 8TC cables? | |
| Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ? actually, I'm running 2 MC275's in mono for each B&W 805D's.Well that's a little more information, but not as much as I was hoping for. If you have your amps bridged, you have more than enough power, and more than enough damping, to get loud, ... | |
| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr I'd like to take a stab at whoever is responsible for this nonsense! The Greeks and Romans used "sounding vessles" in their open-air theaters to produce reverberation, not a desireable trait for audio listening.http://www.vitruvius.be/boek5h5.htm | |
| Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ? Your question lacks context, and is therefore unaddressable. Could you please list your complete system including cables, etc. It very well may be a matter of properly configuring your system as it is right now, and not simply a matter of switchin... | |
| Mcintosh amps/feet what are thread size? My (new) MC275 amp uses 8 -- 32 to hold on the feet. | |
| Speakers this way, or that, with cathedral ceiling If the shortest dimension of your room is 16 feet (or more) it's best if you can place your speakers (centered, of course) on the long wall. This allows two things to happen:1. You can pull the speakers (faces) out 3 feet from the wall behind them... | |
| Has anyone tried EAT KT88's in their power amps I did try a quad of EAT Diamonds in my McIntosh MC275. Unfortunately, they were either heavily (or incorrectly) used. They tested weak and sounded no better than Pentas, Electro Harmonix, re-issue Gold Lions, etc. So, my NOS Genalex Gold Lions wer... | |
| Uber quiet tubes for C2300 pre All the NOS tubes I've tried from UA (maybe a dozen or so) have been weak and overpriced! And their remarks about 5751 are incorrect from an audiophile POV. (Might apply to guitar players overdriving their amps to get that "fuzzy" sound they like.... |
