| Radical toe in once more Yesterday I bought Endresen and Wesseltoft: Out here, in there, on 2 x LP 45 rpm (Jazzland records). It sounded so good that my wife played the whole thing once more (doesnt happen often). So I think we're nearly there. The setup is much like @rhl... | |
| Radical toe in once more Hi @newbee Jokes aside - I agree with most of what you said. Listen. Take time. Small changes can have a large impact. - This is all the more true with dynamic bipoles like mine. Just to clarify: my room is large enough that radical toe-in is n... | |
| Radical toe in once more Thanks @newbee. I'll think about it...no no! on with the music : - ) | |
| Radical toe in once more Thanks everyone. Like I suspected, no consensus. Same thing from my web searches. I read about a guy who went back to conventional toe-in although radical sounded better. Why? It «looked wrong»! Sure, I will follow my own ears, but in this case I... | |
| Radical toe in once more Thanks to both of you! My room is quite large, I dont have major problems with side wall reflections or back wave boom, and the off axis treble response is quite smooth. So my speakers sound very good with radical toe in but also good with conven... | |
| Hearing Aids Reduce Dementia Risk Check out audiocheck.net - a good informative site. | |
| Hearing Aids Reduce Dementia Risk Which hearing aids are good for music listenig (and maybe, memory)? | |
| How good is Aesthetix audio? I have not seen any agreement regarding phono stages that outperform the Aesthetix Io Eclipse with dual power supplies and good NOS tubes (some say: Allnic 8000 - others: maybe - a question of taste). You can find a lot of info on the Io here , m... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere I am sure it sounds good. | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Hello @ketran Congratulations with the Einstein, I hope it works out for you. Mine is still doing well. The main tweaks I’ve done: 1 - changing the 12au7 tube in the middle, to NOS. First, a CBS Hytron, which was a clear improvement, and then t... | |
| Vacuum tube amplified headphones... Would this be a kind of update on the Audioquest Nightowl / Nighthawk headphones? I look forward to a comparison. | |
| Atma-Sphere MA 2s for Dummies (by a dummy) @mijostyn - I admire such dedicated work! I have two questions. Is your room very long and narrow? Seems so, from your system info. Maybe the Sound Labs dont have the space to breathe, on the sides? Also, I see you have a screen in the middle. I... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA 2s for Dummies (by a dummy) @mijostyn - thanks, I see them now. Your system probably sounds amazing. | |
| Atma-Sphere MA 2s for Dummies (by a dummy) Bad luck - in my case, I’ve found that less is more. I gave up on subs, and my ’effect’ speakers are no longer in use - the main speakers (designed to resemble Sound labs) do the job better alone. Heat - a cheap fix is to mount computer fans behi... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA 2s for Dummies (by a dummy) Yes, I know this is Ralph's opinion, and I agree up to a point. For 12 usd I would go for it. Moreover, you can support Ukraine. I paid 40 something for RCA NOS some time ago. |
