| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers @larry5729 , I’d love to listen to the Rockports as they have a lot of fans. But I live in Western Canada and there are no dealers near me. Maybe I would consider using some Airmiles and flying to a dealer that sells Rockports and has a Diablo 300... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers @clearthinker, my main issue with panels is that they ONLY sound good (and really good) in the sweet spot. So much so that I feel like you might as well get headphones at that point. But I agree they can sound superb in the sweet spot. | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers One more note: I actually really enjoy listening to a high-performing system at quiet levels sometimes, late at night. When you can hear all of the system's character, and also imaging, at that low of a level, it becomes almost surreal. I've he... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers So subjective I guess, but interesting... My list is limited to speakers I’d be able to audition in my area. I am wondering if I am up for lugging my Diablo 300 to the audition - I don’t really want to put my beloved amp through all of that trauma... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Valhalla 2 speaker wires and jumpers are ordered; no ETA yet. Could be quite a while.... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines Given how much different power cords can change sound for better or worse, I think it would make sense to at least try to ensure that your circuit is not shared with other electrically noisy digital devices, including things like media streamers. ... | |
| Turntable Placement Between Speakers with Short Interconnect? Thanks again for the valuable advice…. Yes, my room could certainly benefit from a bit of added treatment on the wall to the right of the listening position. But the problems with echoes/resonance don’t result in any detectable bass resonance. Thi... | |
| Turntable Placement Between Speakers with Short Interconnect? Thanks again for the valuable advice…. Yes, my room could certainly benefit from a bit of address treatment on the wall to the right of the listening position. But the problems with echoes/resonance don’t result in any detectable bass resonance... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines Thanks for the advice All. Unfortunately there is no crawlspace, between my room and the ground floor, and no attic as there are vaulted ceilings with spray foam insulation. There is no access from the ground floor as it is completely finished… ... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines Thanks. I’m a DIY guy for certain things only. This doesn’t sound like one of those things! $3k IS steep to have it done, but it’s not $15K steep! | |
| Turntable Placement Between Speakers with Short Interconnect? Understood, thanks. I think a few I looked at appear to support balanced connections. One of them is the Linn Uphorik. I will ideally be testing a few to see which sounds best to me in my system. | |
| Furman PST-8 Noise Reducing Power Strip Thanks. I’m sure a dedicated line would improve things even further. @spenav , wouldn’t installing the dedicated line involve ripping out and replacing drywall to install it? I’d think that would be rather pricey, no? | |
| Turntable Placement Between Speakers with Short Interconnect? From my experience I know that even line level interconnects sound vastly inferior if too long…. That’s why IF my center placed turntable has an issue with that location and needed to be moved off to one side and further away, I will be using ... | |
| Turntable Placement Between Speakers with Short Interconnect? Thanks, and yes I think I will start with the TT connected beside my amp to see if I have any issue first. I did a subjective vibration test using bass heavy tracks with the volume cranked (which I don’t do during normal listening), and testing f... | |
| Turntable Placement Between Speakers with Short Interconnect? Okay, I’ve found a way to make the left side of my left speaker work for my turntable location (3 ft from speaker), and this is NOT a corner. Here’s my plan based on all of your feedback, to facilitate placement on the left side of my speakers: ... |
