| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" 40 hz null pretty tough to deal with 90 hz peak, I would look into a trap(s) tuned for 90 hz Peaks are far worse to listen to than nulls and often easier to fix. | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" Design, including how the space is built, solid, laid out well, etc do the best you can then work around the other uses of the space. This will determine where the speakers are going to be generally located so pretty easy to sort out where the mai... | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" The environment is always the first thing to fix, better yet design, correctly and then use room treatments. Then it comes to placement of all the gear and furnishings, speaker placement most critical. If the above are truly optimized then there... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? First concert I attended, everyone sitting on the floor in the gym at WSU in Pullman WA where loaves of bread, bottles of wine and joints were freely passed around. Warm up was a one man band, Duster Bennett, very fun performance, then John May... | |
| Directional wires/cables I might of missed reading a post on this thread but wanted to put in my two cents, just in case:) I have made all my interconnects for around 40 years now. In the last 25+ I have only used Conare Star Quad which is dual twisted pair high grade... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS I just searched and watched some reviews on the Deshelli Dayzee with stock, Burson and then top model Sparkos op amps which cost approx $2k with those installed. One review compared it to three more expensive DACs from around $2.8 to $4k, Gustard... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS I have used very good R2R DACs, had an OPPO BD83 SE, then top of the line BD player with the best at the time ESS DAC chips, loved it for many years but now just not digging ESS chips. I find I prefer either an R2R which great ones can be found fo... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS Geshelli J2 has option of AKM 4493 or 4499, I was just on the site the other daylooking into it and again just now. The J3 has the AKM 4499 listed as the DAC, looking into that as well. I currently have a Topping V70 Velvet with the 4499E... | |
| Which inexpensive speaker cables... I have only used Canare L-4ES6 for interconnects, single ended and balanced, for at least 25 years now and even in my high end car audio comp builds from back then. I will have to give the 4S11 or 4S11G a try in our full time RV system as soon as ... | |
| John Mayall has passed away Very first concert I ever went to, around 16 years old (72 now), Washington State University, in a very small college town around 40 miles south of where I grew up, mostly. Warm up act, Duster Bennett, one man band, incredibly talented and entert... | |
| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. The absolute best it to hard wire everything, no cable ends or connectors, even wire the speaker lead directly to the speaker wires, just support them really well. Obviously this is not a good option for most and I do not do all of it though I mi... | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles Once I build something as a test bed for what I want to achieve, get it working, etc then I do many things like directly wired drivers, quality wire, quality xover parts as needed and work on time alignment. I plan to use high grade materials for ... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers My only experience in turning a cable 180 degrees, the only one I have done and it was an error, not an experiment, was using Star Quad DIY cables, of which I always make up and use. I attach the shield at the input end and cut it back and tuck it... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I recently took a look at some rather good threads on that site and found there are those that are far more open minded than I thought would be the case. Of course there are those that are very closed minded as well. I believe all things are possi... | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles I have five 6x30 watt AB amps, can be bridged to 4x60 +2x30, etc...so looking at starting out all active until final speaker selection is done. Evenutally I would like to use an SET amp, or at least mids and tweets on the system. |
