| Fun Little Project for improving Dynamics The effect is much improved if you use triple distilled de-oxygenated water when rinsing. Some people claim that using a magnet to segregate left spinning naked hydrogen molecules from right spinning ones takes the effect to an even higher level. ... | |
| What if you designed your ultimate speaker? This is my ultimate speaker design. It may not make any sense at all let alone work as I intend it to.It's not so much a speaker as a room setup. You have three rooms. Imagine a large rectangular room. Divide that room in two by erecting a wall ac... | |
| Seasoned ears only I think when you spend a large amount of money and time in putting up a modern audiophile system you end up listening differently. You're more likely to listen to how the system performs than listen to the music. It's not as clear cut, night and d... | |
| What if you designed your ultimate speaker? Zaiksman, have you seriously thought about the size of the speakers? Say to cover 20Hz to 30Hz you use a 15" driver. To cover 30-40Hz you use a 12" driver. For 40-60Hz a 10" driver. And so on... Are you getting a picture? To design enclosures that... | |
| Is this clipping? It could be clipping or you could be describing how a large percentage of rock recordings actually sound. Get an SPL meter and measure how loud you listen to both jazz and rock. If the sound deteriorates at the same SPL on both, then it's clipping. | |
| In Room Frequency Response Measurements The reason I started this post is because I exchanged e-mails with an Audiogon member who has a very expensive system where the speaker manufacturer came to his house and spent an afternoon setting the speakers. (Yes, it's that expensive a speaker... | |
| Single driver point source speakers vs. the world? There are two issues here that tend to get lumped together when they should be addressed separately. The first is the point source driver. The second is crossoverless designs. You can have the former without having the later. Tannoy, Thiel, Cabass... | |
| SACD vs. Vinyl You've already made up your mind, so why ask the question? | |
| Immedia RPM 2 vs Clear Audio Emotion cmb Immedia is still in business and supplies parts. One word of caution -- installing a belt on the Immedia is extremely difficult and frustrating. Other than that it's a great turntable/tonearm. | |
| Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch Class D The rating does seems inconsistent with the review in the same issue. There's much praise for the sound when connected via the digital out. The sound from the analog outs is criticized as a step or two down by comparison, but comparable to the ana... | |
| hardwood floors, area rugs, and spiked feet Don't use spikes, use a decoupling type device like the Aurios. It's been my experience that unless you move your speakers around alot, spikes don't noticeably damage hardwood floors. The marks they leave are quite small. | |
| Is Kind of Blue the Best Jazz Album Ever "Kind of Blue" deserves all the praise heaped upon it, but in a way it somewhat sad. The album represents what Miles and the other musicians were doing on two sessions in 1959. Six months earlier or six months later the band would have produced a ... | |
| Ayre vs Primare 6550c, you obviously know more than what your post(s) would lead one to believe. Exactly what you do know is still a mystery. | |
| wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ? Ed, please describe how the frequency response graph was derived. Is that curve at the primary listening position? | |
| Ayre vs Primare The Ayre might be somewhat better overall than your current Exposure, but it's not a significant difference, IMO. If I were you I'd stay with the Exposure.6550c, why even bother posting anything if you don't know anything? |
