Lumin how do i get next song in playlist???
I am using a Lumin X1 with the Lumin app on an Android device. I have no problem; it may take a bit of a learning curve to get the hang of it. ozzy  
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
ghdprentice, Thank you for your comments. As much as I really like the Townshend stands, they did make it hard to find just that right spot. Now, I will again move the speakers to reinstall the stands underneath them. But this time I am armed wi... 
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
I just had to get this right. So, I removed the Sopra’s from the Townshend stands, it is just too hard to move them while on the stands. I do believe I have zero’d in the soundstage! What I have found is, again, I prefer no toe in. But it has b... 
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
Where I originally had my speakers, the vocals seemed to be a little fuller. (If my memory is correct). Now, with little toe in, they seem to be a little thinner sounding, but the soundstage is wider, and details are more apparent. Which is corre... 
What is the best non-conditioning surge protector
I agree. "If" you were going to keep the Niagara 1200 I would put the best power cord you own on it since it will power several components. ozzy  
What is the best non-conditioning surge protector
I would also be curious as to what kind of power cord you had connected from the wall to the 1200. ozzy  
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
This can be a maddening process. I researched many online demos and used various calculators showing where to place the speakers based on room dimensions. Most would put my speakers way too far into the room in both distance from back and side wal... 
Best new audiophile rock album
Thanks for the post. I just listened to the 16/44 Qobuz download.  However, I thought the music was boring and not so high in sound quality. But to each his own. ozzy  
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
Some very interesting and helpful comments, thank you. I'm still experimenting. I am leaning towards a very slight toe in. The Focal Sopra's are very difficult to measure distances from the walls due to them not having any real straight lines.  ...

Dedicated AC Circuits: It's not the noise, it's the upstream problems
While you're at it, also check the connections in the breaker box. I was surprised that a couple of mine were not fully tightened down.  ozzy  
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
No, it must be some other "rich guy". It is amazing that when you really start dialing in the soundstage, just a 1/2" can throw off the center image. ozzy    
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
Thanks for the reply. What I have noticed is having the speakers aiming straight out does flatten the soundstage depth somewhat. So always the tweaker, I decided to toe them in again (slightly). Now the question is how much, or little is the bes...

Speaker Placement and Toe-In
Yeah, I think all the rules as to speaker placement should just be considered as a starting point. We still need to experiment. Moving heavy speakers on stands like the Townshends is near impossible. But trying to place the Sopra's in the right sp...
