| Damping to exitation of parasitic modes of forget everything except altering the Q - you will first need to determine the freq.s involved (tho any decent car stereo dampening material should be helpful) | |
| Room treatments people should definitely work on their listening roomswalk around clapping your hands and post what you rear - you may need more absorptionalso, how close to a rear wall is your listening spot? | |
| Room treatments noisy from traffic? or? | |

| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs noise such as pops, clicks, etc. is present in vinyl and worse in lower quality vinyl... and a vinyl recording will get worse as you play it over & overdigital is not subject to those problems | |
| Preamp w/ a budget of $2000 you'll need to see if you want a remote - some of the older ARC's don't have themthen there is the issue of when the nice knobs changed to the unhappy twist & hold ones (which look the same) - my LS-25 MkII has those and while I understand why... | |

| Directionality of wire we do know what component is natural variation and what is man-made tho apparently you do not | |
| Directionality of wire it makes little sense | |
| 16 bit is good enough..... stringreen, a higher bit depth means there will be less interpolation in the voltages (SPL) at any instant in timedon't confuse it with sample rate, which means less interpolation in time intervalsas far as I can figure this area out, the main pr... | |
| Do any Audio Research tube amps run in class A? There is a new technology out that greatly reduces or eliminates crossover distortion. Benchmark has it now. I expect we will see others license it in the future and A vs. AB may not be of importance then. | |

| Toslink or Coaxial from Bluesound Vault 2 to external DAC? not a fan of his, BUT was it Redbook source material?it has never been clear to me if the nebulous negativity towards Toslink is based on the interface per se, on scratched up connectors, or... on some animus towards something widely used on A/V g... | |
| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? wire size relates to current delivery (resistance of the wire goes up as dia. goes down, on a per unit length basis)the size of the speaker per se is not an issue; it will depend on the efficiency of the speaker and the SPL you want (another facto... | |
| Appropriate Power for 1.7i's John Curl v. Bob Carver??Maggies want high current delivery into about 4 ohms - how are those 2 rated into 4 ohms?BTW, I use a Sunfire (Carver design) to drive my 3.7i'salso, what is wrong with the Yamaha? is it clipping? or is your room & li... |
