| How much does your system retail for? $44k if bought new. Much less here on the Audiogon. About the same as 10 seasons of football tickets, which puts it in perspective. About what it costed us to run a 1973 beechcraft bonanza for about 300 hrs/ year; think Audio is expensive, try avi... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question I see my last post did not make it? OK, here is the report:Sean was pretty much correct, it was a combination of 2 things:1) One speaker is slightly louder than the other2) The room is re-enforceing the left side.As soon as I switched the speakers... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Newbie: I thought about that, but my wife hears it too, it could be that the problem is contagious? *grin*Sean: Oh no! I was going to do the out of phase check this evening, you are saying it might not work? Maybe I will check with ML. Although, I... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Here is a link to 2 cad renderings of the room that I did when I designed the setup. I think it gives a better picture. The opening had a door, solid wood core, not shown.roomroom2thanks | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Pmotz: I tried the plant thing, and it helps somewhat. It does not get rid of all the problem. The photo represents plant placement before the tweaking, they are now reversed.The left wall is an exterior wall, and is insulated. The right wall is a... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Rock: LMAO thinking about the driveway thing, yeah, my speakers and a couple hundred pounds of tube amps in the driveway. They would lock me away.I am going to run the test tonight, my wife is going out with the kids, so I can happily stress out;)R | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Thanks again for more great ideas, please keep them coming.Sean: The speakers are stats, (actually hybrids), so I imagine either it works or does not? It is possible to easily switch only the panel section of the speakers, so I may try this. I sup... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Sean,Thanks for your post. I think I am going to lug my speakers around, to get to the root of this. I was trying to eliminate the idea that it might be equipment related, and, frankly, I did not really think that it could be a speaker output imba... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Oh, Feffer77, I missed part of your response. Behind my listening position is a semi round piece of furniture on the left side, and a solid core wood door on the right. I am pretty sure this might be the cause of the imbalance. I moved one of my t... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Thanks for the responses so far, it helps to know there are others like me out there!Fefer77: I think the gain is ok, as I measured the outputs of the amps to be fairly equal. I already switched the amps around, no change.Electric_monk (great moni... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Driver, I thought about that as well, but, in order to make myself totally wacko, I gave the remote to my wife. She also dialed in about the same balance, shook her head, kissed me on the cheek and said "I guess I will see you at what, about 2 am ... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Khaki8, I know, I know, but I was wondering if there was something else I should try and address first.Me: I guess that could be, I should probably switch them. Oh boy, that is going to be a project, those things are way heavy. | |
| I could use some jazz mentoring. Along the trumpet idiom, look into Lee Morgan. Maybe a little less laid back, but very well thought out solo work. | |
| VT-100 MKII sonics but need more power take care about the Vt 200, I understand there are some stability issues. You might want to do a search on that amp, others have reported issues. I believe the problem comes from the bias scheme, it uses matched quads and only has one bias adjustm... | |
| I have a confession to make I like the suggestion of turning it off for a month or so. I was a little unhappy with my system in December. We took our annual vacation, almost 3 weeks. When I got back, the system sounded so good to me that it almost brought me to tears. It's a... |
