| Please help with subwoofer. I generally recommend 2 subs over 1. They are much easier to place and get a flat frequency response. For HT placing them mid way across a wall and the other on the opposite side of the room will give you the flattest frequency response. In additi... | |
| Isolation transformers - where do I start? Sean's advice is very good. I would recommend looking at EquiTech's wall mounted units. These are very large isolation transformers that take 220 in and then drop it down to 110 with two balanced poles (thus further rejecting the noise). I made on... | |
| VPI Synchronous Motor Hum problem Have you called VPI? I have this drive and have not had any problems, but it's in an area that it would be difficult to resonate in. Any issues I have had, have been dealt with very promptly and professionally by the people at VPI. If you haven't ... | |
| Help with Crating company in California Brian's advice sounds great. I was going to suggest that you contact a dealer or manufacturer and ask them who they use. I had a company that makes mixing consoles and regularly building crates put me in contact with the people that made theirs. I... | |
| What are your thoughts on the Dragon tape deck? I agree with Sc53. I still have my CR-7A, but hardly use it as I can make any CD for the car on my computer. I also like the transportability of the CDs better, the reliability and the fact that a decent quality blank CD-R costs about 50 cents or ... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? Gunbei: I think you are headed in the right direction. Subs in the corner behind the speakers can and often do work quite well. It's not as flat a response, but if you keep them within 1/8 of a wavelength of the corner it minimizes the peak/node e... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? Gunbei: It's a good question, but fortunately you almost never need to compromise. The flatest response is with subs placed on opposite walls at the midpoint. Now if it were for music and it was a high crossover point (say 80Hz or higher) I would ... | |
| buying and selling Payment up front is the general rule. However, there are a few good services, such as escrow services that can be used for higher ticket items. It costs a few dollars, but it does make the transaction safer. | |
| What size subwoofer to get? In most cases I recommend getting 2 lesser subwoofers over 1 larger one. It is much easier to place and avoid any major peaks and nodes in the room. These peaks are generally what is perceived as boomy and ill defined bass. If you use 2 you can sm... | |
| HT room new construction - room treatments, etc Room decouplers work very well. What you need to be careful of, is that low frequency travels through the studs of the walls. So it's not enough to just decouple the ceiling, because the bass will travel to the sidewall studs and up into the house... | |
| HT room new construction - room treatments, etc I feel somewhat compelled to respond to Ksales. Unfortunately, what he says is likely true, and it really bothers me because this truly is the demise of acoustical engineering companies. What value are they bringing the customer, if only to charge... | |
| the Listening Room Gajgmusic: While your situation is unique--it is not so unique. Everyone has certain things about the room they can not or will not change for one reason or another (WAF, kids, aesthetics, etc.) This is very normal and must be considered in any ty... | |
| aurios isolation and espresso My experience with the "Bigger than a fireman's hose" Power Cord is the coffee becomes very dark--the backround just seems completely black and there's absolutely no grain at all. | |
| HT room new construction - room treatments, etc First, we are an acoustical engineering company that specializes in small room acoustics. I would strongly recommend that you consider working with an acoustical engineering service for the design of your room. Every room is different, and one of ... | |
| the Listening Room Thanks again to everyone. It's very helpful to understand the thoughts on the room from those that have not used an acoustical engineering service. Dovetail in particular--that is the room I like designing. There is so much more to the room than J... |
