Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels
When room interact with recorded sound, the recorded sound is distorted. Period. The BEST listening is in a dead room. Your statement that rooms should not be deadened is promoting that distortion. Period. It interferes with imaging, can upset the...

Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels
Looking at the web site that is in the op post.The screw start absorb at 250 Hz to 4000 Hz  according to their measurements that they show from a specific part of a chart (what happens below 250 Hz?!).Anyway what we know is that those rather high ... 
Recording to test right and left channels...
Second that.The disc from ps audio has something that is little bit unusual. There is tracks were the performer is recorded and documented with different distances with further and further away from the microphone.That is great because 99.5% of th... 
Recording to test right and left channels...
elliottbnewcombjr the example tracks are available on all formats: "Take Five by Dave Brubeck". Adele track "send my love"And then there is LP calibrations/reference test discs. But I find Adele to be preferable.But LP test discs is better in othe... 
Recording to test right and left channels...
Yes, like the tip "Take Five by Dave Brubeck".Or if you prefer Adele track "send my love".There she is saying "only the guitar thank you" in the left channel just before the track starts. (Another thing is that she is saying it in a rather low lev... 
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
"Then what?"A: GaN 
How many of you are digital only systems?
OP:"Am I missing something truly special in the audio world if I’m all digital?"Yes.One reason to have the ability to play the format vinyl is that there is albums that never got released in a digital format. So if you want to hear it you need a T... 
Measuring VTF with electronic gauge....
millercarbonHas nailed it but that is only the start of the fine tune process..Depending on stylus shape (and not using simple conical shape that they do not care about VTA). You may consider that if you like for example by ear to be in the upper/... 
How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)?
So the best way was suggested before, get a test CD or album that plays pink noise or frequencies from zero to 20 kHz and a pretty good DB meter. have the meter at the listener’s level and measure the readings over the entire frequency range.I do ... 
How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)?
Or you can do like I did. With the do it yourself.Buy at least a pair of 18" woofers. You will need that size of different reasons see below.To get a better chance to be able to get definition, fastness and so on.Go for a open baffle (OB) "enclosu... 
Maggie LRS so ridiculously good
If the bass is adequate or not from LRS/MMG?I have the all the stuff for measuring with a calibrated microphone. Running sweeps for a couple of years now on my and several audiophiles friends requests.For the old MMG in my room setup far from wall... 
Maggie LRS so ridiculously good
Manny use Class A to their magnapans. With good results. As the manufacturer says the important thing is: Class A/B amplifier designs that come close to doubling power at 4 ohms have a long and successful track record.https://www.magnepan.com/faq#... 
I Have Airborne Feedback And Never Realized It...Till Now
I do not think that any platform/turntable can make physics laws to disappear.If as I guess most of us do not play TT and also have 3x15" subwoofers and are able to play far below 20 Hz..That is little of a precondition here.. what I am talking ab...
