| Why Energize the Whole Room/Virtual Reality Audio? Eldford, Stereo or not, headphones create a soundstage in your head... a very small one. Instead of having a large stage in front of you which can create the live experience better. But, if you get past that headphones are great. Onhwy is right, t... | |
| speaker break in time or ? No it's definately a physical thing. And it usually takes a long time depending on the speaker, partly the electronics, but mostly the speaker surrounds, etc. | |
| What is the test of time? All popular forms of music - even before recordings are still known today. I think they all last, but it's just a matter of how many people listen to it as time goes by. There are recordings of almost every kind of music that is being bought still... | |
| Does a listening room help or hinder? Bob is right. If you want background music, use your laptop speakers. Save the listening room for serious listening. Time is an issue with me as well. I can't just sit there for hours listening as I have things that have to get done, so I can rela... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... SACD IS DEAD lol not really I just wanted to say it. I hope it's not dead anyway. Ben you're digging yourself a bigger and bigger hole, at this point cut your losses before you lose more credibility. You may be missunderstood and that's fine, but ... | |
| Power Conditioners to reduce Sibilance Cable could make a difference, but it will be subtle. You will still have the brightness problem, but possibly to a lesser degree. It's kind of like using duck tape. | |
| what made you get into high end gear. Good post. For me it was when I had some Sony speakers (floorstanders), and I thought the sound was thin and pathetic. I didn't know there was a high end audio world. I did a web search and after fumbling around there was a website (it was some me... | |
| Best sounding SACD disc? I suppose next week you'll have the Von Schweikert VR11s to show off. | |
| DIY Bass traps & treatments.. Blindjim, For some reason, Agon vears away from room treatment discussions. Maybe because it can get complex. There are different schools of thought, but I like to deaden the wall (not completely) behind the speakers and difuse the side walls at f... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Yeah LPs have spoiled me. Digital won't come close anytime soon. It's funny how all the advances in digital electronics can't seem to match tubes and vinyl from the past - hehe | |
| Power Conditioners to reduce Sibilance Like I said it's your room - you know it and I know it. You can get conditioners, DACs, etc and you will have a great system - but flutter echo and brightness will continue to destroy the sound. I just don't want you to throw all your money away a... | |
| Which CD player should I consider for my system ? Stick with NAD until you have bigger funds to spend. If you want improvement, try upgrading power cord. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Dopogue, Why not use your Sony XA777ES as a transport for your ack dack? It's a great transport, or is the Toshiba better? Rob | |
| Power Conditioners to reduce Sibilance I would assume that your room acoustics have something to do with it. As you upgrade to more revealing equipment, sometimes the room will be more noticeable. In my system, the power conditioner smoothed the sound out just a bit, but I don't think ... | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used LOLsince we're on the topic of headphones. Off the subject sort of but I have a hum on the my MGhead (tube) headphone amp coming out of the left earphone. I've switched and changed tubes and cables and it is still on the left channel. I'm going to... |
