| A question of bias for new tube set You'd be trading a slightly faster tube burn-out, for slightly greater dynamics. | |
| Correct Way to Invert Phase My CDP and phono stage both have phase reversal switches. The very few recordings I own, that exhibit a change in presentation with a change in phase, are marked. With those; the effects are obvious. | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars I’ve been using a TacT RCS 2.2Xaaa, in my system, since the 90’s. Not much has changed, since then. FFT is called that, because it is and can discern between direct and reflected sounds. Read the ’How REW makes it’s measurements’ secti... | |
| Correct Way to Invert Phase This CD includes tests/tracks that will tell anyone interested, whether they can discern reversed phase, in their room, on their system, with their ears: https://cheskyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/chesky-records-jazz-sampler-audiophile-te... | |
| Correct Way to Invert Phase "polarity" refers to +/- connections (ie: at the speaker or amp). "Phase" refers to the motion of the speaker cones, relative to the recorded signal. Reverse the polarity at either end of the speaker cable and you've reversed the phase, at th... | |
| I blew up my receiver. Now what? None of the devices you listed have a power transformer, designed (or wired) for one specific voltage. A transformer designed/connected for 120V + plugged into 240V = toast (typically). | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? What mijostyn said +1, but for the middle of the room position. My present seat is right at 35% of room length, from the back wall, with Auralex absorption and LENRDs behind me. Diffusion behind the speakers. Some tips: (http://arqen.com/... | |

| Genalex Gold Lion 12AX7 - different grades? The Gold Lion re-pops are made in Russia and their reliability- much better than the ____, coming out of China. Ask any reputable tube monger, for the facts. Still: +1, far as NOS valves and their sonics, over anything currently manu... | |

| Bias setting Recheck your amp’s bias after it’s been playing music, for an hour or two. Don’t have anything playing, while you’re taking the measurements, just to be certain (but- stay within it’s nine minute window). Check again after a week or so. ... | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About Experimentation is (and always has been) the basis of scientific discovery. It works in your listening room, as well (whatever the topic). KUDOS, to those so disposed! | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About "What is this obsession with technical explanations?" Perhaps: because the OP ASKED, "And if you know do they make sense from a PURELY TECHNICAL standpoint?" The views, discoveries and measurement methods of modern (20th Century and ... | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About The religiously obtuse can't differentiate; how DC and AC currents each affect electrons and Electrical Drift, in a conductor. Apparently, repeating the same erroneous, classical doctrine, is somehow comforting. "Trust me, brother, AMEN!" ... |
