Sloped baffle
Regarding digital signal processing as it relates to these issues, this from the DEQX website:"In addition to frequency-response errors DEQX’s biggest strength is restoring phase and time-domain coherence by delaying faster-arriving frequencies un... 
Soulution amp and tubed preamp
I haven't heard Gryphon. I heard Soulution at RMAF with Focal speakers and was impressed with the clarity and effortless presentation. But I listen to a lot of rock music and I wonder it would sound lean. 
Soulution amp and tubed preamp
Makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you Al. BTW, its the Ref10. 
Sloped baffle
Maybe this is a subject for another discussion, but I was wondering if coaxial drivers (TAD, KEF, Tannoy) are more likely to be time and phase coherent? 
Elrod Statement Gold X2 or Purist 25 Anniversary
I can't wait to hear more about 3d sound. 
Sloped baffle
Getting back to the original question concerning sloped baffles and time alignment, Mofimadness commented:"It is used to time align the drivers. Some manufacturers do this physically, (with the cabinet) and some do it electronically (in the crosso... 
Review Stillpoints Ultra Mini
Bol1972, are you a Stillpoints dealer, or plan to be one in the future? If yes, you should add a disclaimer to this thread. 
Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons
I have a pair of Elrod Statement Gold and a pair of Shunyata Anaconda Zitron. I use the Elrod for the amps and the Shunyata for the subs. The Elrod are more full and rich sounding, with plenty of detail and resolution. The Shunyata has a more bare... 
Led Zep Reissue on vinyl
Much like Bruce Springsteen's output in the 70's, these were mastered to sound good on a car radio, but not much else. Who can blame them, given the kinds of home stereos that were in usage back then? Hearing these recordings on modern, highly res... 
Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall
"…in order to clearly hear the secondary reflections that have occurred in the recording room/venue, we need to minimize the reflections in our room."On the other hand, I think most of us would agree that music sounds best when there are reflectio... 
Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall
Reviewers love to praise a soundstage that extends well beyond the confines of the speakers. We all know that this expansion of the soundstage is lost when the speakers are too close to the side walls. The reasons are debatable, but in my view its... 
Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall
Onhwy61, if I understand you correctly, then having having sound coming from outside the loudspeaker's position is not accurate? I ask because I use large floorstanders positioned relatively close to the side walls. The imaging between the speaker... 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
Here's the truth: low frequencies are subject to cancellation and reinforcement by normal room boundaries, resulting in uneven bass. This is unavoidable with any large speaker capable of putting out low bass, in a normal-sized room. If you have la... 
Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall
Onhwy61 has a good point, and I have to wonder if early reflections are really the problem. Placement right up against the wall should solve any problem with early reflections and result in good sound, but it doesn't seem to work that way. My feel... 
Graham Phantom Anti-Skate. Is it effective at all?
I agree that anti-skate is just not that important. DaVinci, who make great tonearms didn't even bother with it on the Grandezza model (I have one). VPI never put much into it either. I would use just enough to prevent the stylus from colliding wi...
