I need help with acoustics and speaker wire
After the cable how about getting them off the floor with disposable cups for all I care and decoupling those fancy speakers, too. :-) Wahoo There is another 100 bucks that will make a huge difference.. Regards  
I need help with acoustics and speaker wire
I must apologize, all I have is HooDoo or as you call it Voodoo. Treat the room as much as you can stand, and choose some great cable. Tri or quad wiring is nothing special. It's just usually when people do things like that, they are looking for ...

Oh OK.. :-)  
How much gear do you own?
67 here and a lifetime of STUFF. I’m gonna see if the guy at the funeral home will give me an upgrade if we can work out a deal. :-) I sold 12 Russco, QRKs and Spartas turntables last year, all "As Is." If you bought 3 you had 2 and a few extra p... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
I'm still trying to figure out what you said. I understand "Animal House" very well, I can read a drivers report and decipher the code of the jiggly handwriting drivers use as the tractor shakes and they just keep on writing. As if the NSA could d...

Correct ear alignment
The 510 was my wifes car. I new her and kept her 64 VW going and then she bought the 510. She looped LA dropping off a buddy and it lost a head gasket. I learned how to hot rod the heck out of that little pile, and keep it together. I bought a g...

Toe-In or Toe-Out
Mine were freebies from work. They were a writing pen and a laser pointer combo. Worked great for me. The db meter, no need to get fancy. If your going to use a phone or something like that just use a stand so you're not part of the equation and u... 
Toe-In or Toe-Out
Glasses and hat will change what you hear too. I go for full blown laser alignment with 4 columns. 2 mains, 2 MB columns From the seated position to the center of the columns. Measure that distance, pushing it away lowers the db to that ear. I r... 
More expensive = better?
Have you heard "jaw dropping", sound before? I usually compare systems to mine not the other way around. Are there more expensive systems than mine. LOL Good Lord yes. Could they make me happier if had them? I don't think so.. Especially if I had ... 
Acoustics, using placement as EQ
So what is the actual size of the room? Where are you measuring at? Turn the subs XO to 60 <. It would be nice if you could get at least a 12 db 2nd order XO and 24db 4th order will take that bump right out of there with a lower XO point on t... 
Correct ear alignment
I do the same thing in my 76 Datsun 510, with an Alpine system. I bet my insurance is lower than yours.  Second my insurance won't cover YOU because I have a Ferrari exclusion policy. Just Ferrari though. They dropped my rates by half. :-) The in... 
Bully pulpits
Would you like to buy a kidney? I got a fresh pair on ice. The problem is they are still attached to the guy in the freezer. You get a discount on multiple organs. The only thing different is they had sex reassignment. They went with "Gender Neutr...
