| Placement of Salons to maximize soundstaging Dear Rzemkoski:Many thanks for the input. I've been fooling around with placement all morning and have them back where I started, much like your set up. My room is a bit smaller than yours at 30' x 15', and is segregated by an archway into a 20' x... | |
| Placement of Salons to maximize soundstaging Dear Rock:Thanks for the response. The dimensions of my room are described above. I'm pretty sure that the reason I'm not getting deep bass is because the ports don't see much of a wall (most of the space behind each speaker is an open room -- see... | |
| Placement of Salons to maximize soundstaging Sorry. I'm tired. One more thing. All source components except the turntable are on Black Diamond Racing cones. | |
| Placement of Salons to maximize soundstaging Thank you for the above responses. I do appreciate it. I have the nearfield seating option described above and another seating position six feet farther back. I tried less toe-in, but thought the center image was suffering a bit. In any event, mos... | |
| Placement of Salons to maximize soundstaging Thank you, Nrchy. | |
| Exposed tonearm cable source of hum?? Thanks for the previous post. I tried that already and it yields no change.The plot thickens, however. This morning, I was fooling around with the cartridge leads again, as well as the interconnect running from the junction box to the phono pre-am... | |
| Exposed tonearm cable source of hum?? The previous post makes a good point. I had reconnected the leads to the cartridge with the thought that these connections may be the problem, but it changd nothing. What I did not do until yesterday, however, was try switching the leads around a ... | |
| Exposed tonearm cable source of hum?? One more thing ... the problem exists whether the turntable motor is on or off, and regardless of the position of the tonearm -- these variables do not change the nature or quantity of the hum.Thanks. | |
| Exposed tonearm cable source of hum?? Thanks to all for your input. The previous post is certainly correct that it would be much better to provide the name of the arm manufacturer, but this forum is such a hotbed for rumors which can be commercially damaging that I prefer to posit the... | |
| Exposed tonearm cable source of hum?? Thank you, but from your response, I see that I was not sufficiently clear about the "loop" of tonearm cable to which I refer. It is not the 1/2 inch or so of wires connected to the cartridge that is at issue, but, as is the case with some linear ... | |
| Best spkrs for rock: Dunlavy V-Watt/Puppy-Revel?? Dear Jeff J:Your thread began back in December, so I don't know whether you are still looking for speakers, but I would second the comments about Dunlavy SC-V's having loudness limitations. My closest hi-fi friend has had them for three years and ... | |
| B&W N800 vs Wilson WP7 vs Revel and others Your thread appears to be a bit dated (no new entries since mid-January and now it's April), but I wanted to add the obvious, namely, that your best move would be to demo speakers in your home with your equipment if possible. Doing so is the only ... | |
| Classe "omega" vs Pass Labs X600 I read your thread with interest, as I have been curious myself of late about the Salons and just auditioned a pair this past weekend at Lyric HiFi in Manhattan. Prior to doing so, I reread the reviews of the Salon, as well as reviews of its small... | |
| Hovland pre-amp susceptible to A/C line noise? Dear MikeM:Thank you for your post, and I know you are trying to help me, but I respectfully disagree. Hi-fi equipment in the league of Hovland or Kimber Select is state-of-the-art and cannot be expected to operate perfectly in every single enviro... | |
| Hovland pre-amp susceptible to A/C line noise? Many thanks to all of those who responded to this thread.Hovland, to their credit, was immediate in their response and identified the problem. As I understood the explanation, the Hovland is a wide-bandwidth design that has little RFI shielding. B... |
