A server is all that plus a computer CPU, memory, disk storage space, software, wireless connectivity and a display. For equivalent sound the server will cost more, but ... | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound I think Juan is overstating his case, but there is truth in what he says. Sometimes I look at people's system listed here on Audiogon and I just can't imagine how they could sound any good. Excellent equipment, at least by reputation, but what I c... | |
| Would center channel benefit audio only room? Orpheus10, compare this post to your post. Pay particular attention to the info the poster provides. He even included a picture of his room. Then pay attention to the quality of the responses he got. Everyone here actually wants to help, but you a... | |
| Would center channel benefit audio only room? I may be lost, but I don't have any problems with soundstage height!Seriously, now that you've fleshed out your situation I haven't a clue as to what you should do. | |
| Is my room doomed? Pic Enzo618, thanks for updating your situation. So many people asked questions, get tons of advice and then they never report back what worked, or didn't work. IMO your feedback is a critical part of the forum process.Good luck with future adjustments! | |

| External hard drives and sound quality So when my investment house calculates the interest on my portfolio, all other things being equal, does one computer drive give a different number than another? Or is this unknown, not understood phenomena involving different hard drives only disc... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon This is the most insidious marketing campaign I've ever seen. Actusreus (an anagram for "curates us") is clearly a plant for Harbeth or its U.S. distributor. "We don't do deep bass, we're inefficient, we're plain looking" -- but people just love u... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP Se preamp tweaks and upgrades ? Normally I would be firmly in the do nothing camp. It already sounds fantastic, so why screw with it? However, after looking at your system and getting an idea of what you're trying to do, I say go for it! Go back to Cullen and explain to them tha... | |
| Oh Oh- Aural issues discovered Do nothing, it's not a problem. Your brain will compensate. Definitely don't do an EQ. | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig Even if I had unlimited funds, money would still be an object. The few people I know in that situation think that way. It could be why they have unlimited funds.But if it were me, I'd build a recording studio with an audiophile sensibility dedicat... | |
