| Audio Forums, On-line Store Fronts, and the Art-of-Deception How do I become a shill? Are there fanboys that hope to graduate in to being shills? I can recall a couple times where that seemed to be the case, but not sure of the mechanics. "You can't cheat an honest man" | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? RE: Charney speakersHorning Hybrid, which can also be heard in NYC, also comes with Lowther. I believe also the DX65. It "cheats" with a tweeter and shared sort of T-line back loaded horn thing shared by midrange and bass drivers. It was pretty dy... | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker I don't think it is an analogy but a non-specific, useless characterization. If you are listening to a stereo what good is asking yourself, "analytic or musical"? | |
| Building. sound board, ceiling defractor. An option is to look up quadratic residue diffuser to make one of them. Your max depth of 1.5" limits diffusion down to only over 2000hz. (The depth is 1/4 of targeted wavelength). You will need dividers between wells since it looks like most of t... | |

| Opinions: Joseph Audio Pulsar vs Dynaudio Conficence C1 vs Totem Element Fire vs ????? You may have room modes at 40-50hz and worse around 80hz. Don’t know if you really need to go to monitors or more likely just smaller floorstanders. The world is your oyster at your budget if you want to lop off LF. Raidho X1 is an option. It has ... | |
| Where is the weakest link in my system? Decent imaging is fairly cheap, so may be a setup issue. I would ultimately hedge on dabbling with higher current amplifiers and more sophisticated preamps. | |
| Anyone Used REW-Room EQ Wizard? For a beginner "Master Handbook of Acoustics" will help interpret REW results and provide direction. Kind of obvious but take measurements at multiple locations for bass anti/nodes, and play with mic orientation. And wear hearing protection during... | |
| Paradigm Titan v3 They say speakers drivers age, but I have a pair of 18yo DM302s that sound good. If it were me, I would fix the tweeter. I have heard the Titan. It is a good speaker and I personally don't like throwing stuff out that be fixed easily. The opportun... | |
| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music I already posted in AA, but his passing is tragic. At the shows I enjoyed listening to both him and his speakers. | |
| To isolate or not to isolate, that is the question "Solid" and isolation are not necessarily opposing designs. I have first-hand experience with other components but have only read (a lot) to find a good design for a stand for my own turntable. The possible issue with isolation techniques you are ... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It I am in the slow process of re-doing my entire system; only the preamp will stay. I have to say re-learning record playing geometry and setup and cleaning and on and on is less painful and way more straight forward than computer audio. As far as p... | |
