| Grounding cable gauge size @holmz - Talking with one of the locals in Ireland, the local lads after getting lubricated at the pub, used to go up and pee all over that stone. Of course, I was told after I'd kissed the damned thing myself. | |
| Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks @jerrybj Kia Ora mate (Yeah I'm making a presumption) Guessing you're in NZ otherwise you posted in your Eichmann power strips? I am curious if you've done a shootout between Curious Cables and the Black Magic USB? I have the Curious Evolved, but... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas @grannyring my speaker binding posts are ETI, might swap out the ones on my amplifier to match as well. grannyring what XLR connectors would you recommend to try out? Sorry erik_squires - not trying to spoil your thread. | |
| How to make small room sound bigger Set your speakers off the front wall, through trial and error and keep them in from the left and right boundaries ( I would start with 7 foot apart) I did suggest 7 foot apart. yep | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas @grannyring - there’s some history between Keith Eichmann and ETI, which is why they are rather similar in may ways. Have you personally tried the ETI Research LINK Banana plugs? I am curious, these have double screws. Also, have you any persona... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger @rego - Thank you. I went back to look again at the link on the abfuser, and I noticed they’d done this, very similar to what I am suggesting. However, keeping the speakers away from the side wall boundaries and placing absorption there is going t... | |
| Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks I purchased the Mad Scientist - Heretical Digital Cable 1 meter, RCA Plug Type : KLE Silver Harmony Plugs This was for my 4K bluray player, and it worked famously when I used it to my DAC. I was gifted some of the black discus samples with my or... | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) another +1 for the LSA Voyager GaN 350 My friend asked for a recommendation to replace his Cambridge amplifier, traded it in for the LSA Voyager and thank goodness it was so much better. I'll most likely go to GaN myself, just going to let desig... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas ETI Research LINK Banana speaker cable connector, however are somewhere around 50% more than your budget. @brunomarcs - dual wall heat shrink is the generic name for heat shrink with hot glue inside the heat shrink. @mitch2 - those Furez coppe... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger @clearthinker - If he uses absorption, particularly deep or thick absorption behind and to the sides, it will help mask the back wall, or the lack of space from the back wall to some degree. In this or his case diffusion behind the listener is com... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger While I know it's highly unlikely to perfect, I am looking for a way to maximize this, if at all possible in 11x14 room. This may sound nuts (oh heck, I've just chambered a bullet, someone's going to flame me over this no doubt). I listen to ... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger @mahgister - I am aware of Helmholtz resonators, I have read of their effectiveness but to be honest, I’d have a very steep learning curve on those. They certainly seem to be a lot more work than what I’ve done so far. Congratulations on your pati... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger @ei001h - there is a benefit of a smaller room that aught to be mentioned, that is cabin gain. If you take care of flutter echo, low frequency absorption and room nodes and the usual suspects, there is less energies required to pressurize a smalle... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger Funnily enough, quadratic diffusion for me anyway, seemed to open up my room sonically. So I’ve read, in a small room where the boundaries will not allow for quadratic diffusion angles to fully develop, binary amplitude diffusion (BAD) with absorp... | |
| Quality system, make poor recordings sound better? maplegrovemusic & charles1dad, Yes my experience is similar to yours, and yet the better recordings show up the lesser ones. As a whole as the system improved, even average mixes sounded better. |
