| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @nlitworld Another testimony for the ‘cheap vertical alignment block’ cited above. It is certainly smaller in real life than it appears on the website (a frequent issues I have with web purchases), but it works well and helped me ‘correct’ what wa... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @stuartk @rodman99999 @edisoncarter Moving my head a few inches to the left certainly helps me on the upstairs system. I moved the boxes off the left wall and stood up to make sure my ears were centered between the two speakers: Wow, what a diffe... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @rodman99999 Thanks for the tips, especially Paul McGowan’s video: I’ve got the bookcases, I just need to be more intentional in how I’m arranging them in the room. | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @rodman99999 I had to generate three searches on Google to begin to understand your latest post. I appreciate your references to affordable acoustic panels and bass traps. I have more flexibility to create and modify the space downstairs. My first... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @edisoncarter I will grant you two points: (1) You are correct insofar as locus of the stereographic image, but (and it’s a big but), the head needs the proper input in order to create the image. As the research discovered that went into the LEDR... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @stuartk I’ll keep trying, don’t worry. At this point, I’m wondering if the speakers are too big for the room. I certainly enjoy how their sound ‘fills the room,’ but I’m missing how the Warfedale’s (which I still have) radiated a decent sound sta... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @rodman99999 Well the Chesky CD arrived today, it came from the San Francisco Public Library via eBay. In my case, it seems the question, ‘From Whence comes Sound Stage?” is answered “Whither goes the Stereo Image!” That is to say, both of my sy... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @bolong Looks like my usage wasn’t so bad after all, thank you for your contribution. @dz13 I agree with your clear and cogent analysis. The issue for me is with reproducing the sound stage in the room. The speakers upstairs work very differently... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @williewonka @rodman99999 I plan to consider upgrades to my cables once I can settle on a system configuration that pleases me. For the moment, I make my own out of Mogami 2534 (2 twisted pair) bulk and Nuetrix (or Switchcraft). I have made ... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @bdp24 Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the interview and I agree with Paul about the importance of decent speakers, I wasn’t really hearing a Sound Stage until I acquired the B&W 801s, and I can understand Harry Pearson’s obsession with it; onc... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @asctim I think you and I are on the same page. I have stated above that there must be a strong psycho-acoustic element to all this to even have a stereo image to begin with. The LEDR test signals rodman9995 shared takes it a step further to evalu... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @mahler123 Your response about feeling like a kid in the garage made me chuckle. I have considered DSP processing of the signal, and it is available to me on the upstairs system (the one with the McIntosh XRT speakers). My experiences with multich... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @rodman99999 CD is on the way for under $20 (used). I’m sure I’ll enjoy using it to dial my system in. @simao Madonna? Really! She wanted to be the best, I suppose, some her antics on stage distracted/attracted me to the point I wasn’t listeni... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @erik_squires You are correct, I didn’t understand what you meant by the term ‘diffusion’ and confused it with reflective surfaces in the sound path which are treated with absorption; thank you for the full description of what diffusion is, why it... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @frankmc195 When I hear my speakers these days, I wonder what’s wrong, hence this post. @campoly I’m after (and have had) the experience you describe. Even though I have applied more power recently, I’m missing the sparkle in my system. Thanks... |
