| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage I'll post some of my reference digital tracks later this week, might not get a moment in the listening room for a while. Kids, work, wife, etc etc etc | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage To everyone: thanks for the posts. And I'd like to note what I've taken from this thread:room treatments and speaker positioning were mentioned up front, the positioning is something I've toyed with and will continue to toy with, and the room trea... | |
| Help with a pair of Focal Aria 948 please Focal does not have a huge rep for bass response at the lower price levels. Light airy highs and a liquid, neutral mid range are their forte. It is true what you write about a receiver not being great on two channel music, I have a Denon and had t... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage So interesting things happened last night. I found the right speaker was out of position a few inches, so I fiddled with it using a tape measure. Now I have both of them about 28 inches from the back and side walls. There is about 6 feet between t... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage I think my DAC actually inverts phase, I think I read that somewhere. So to invert phase - I swap the output cables coming out of the DAC, right? Or do I swap the speaker cables at the speaker end? Or does it matter?My only concern with vintage tu... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Thanks for all the comments. My speakers are multiple feet away from both the back and side walls. I have also toed them in toward my seating position. Have also tried crossing them in front of seating position, I don't like that as much. I have a... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Trust me when I tell you that I have hundreds of well-recorded, spatially deep and wide recordings in many different genres. I don't listen to hip hop. It's not the source. I do get a wide soundstage with detailed imaging, just want to make it bet... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage I have looked at prima Luna's self-biasing amps, these have 4ohm taps and I think would push the quads better than some other tube products. But I am worried about a tube amp's ability to push my speakers. 6ohm nominal, 89db sensitivity. | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage yes I have considered tubes in the pre. I don't think my speakers would work with a tube amp. I have been toying with the idea of picking up a set of Focals someday, the tube amp might follow that. I updated my system pics to show the new location... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Agree with Bo on lack of depth. And my system pics are out of date regarding speaker placement, I now have them on a different wall and set out from the back wall quite a bit. My equipment list is correct, but not the layout of the room. I'll uplo... | |
| Lowend Preamp on a budget. One big question would be: do you require a remote? I know I did, and i was approximately in your same price range. It limits your selection a little. | |
| Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT Thanks all. The power upgrade is something I want to do. but first, the room treatments. | |
| Need help improving sound thanks Rock, but this thread was one of several I kept posting on the same subject, it took days for these to appear. Everyone's responding on my most current effort--"Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT"--Same subject. Everyone is pr... | |
| Computer for music only? Www.smallgreencomputer.comSpec'd out by the experts at www.computeraudiophile.com. not something I've bought for my own use, but something I aspire to own. I use jriver with the jplay plugin. Pc audio is not that demanding on a system, it's more i... | |
| Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT Clio, that audio physics website has a ton of good info, so thanks for that. |
