| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers It’s still a stock power cord. Will look for some better cords soon. I’m amazed at the transformation of the system. It is quite rewarding once the integration of the sub to the speakers is close to seamless. | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers I’ve also replaced these lowly interconnects with some decent ones as below. Van Damme cables. I’m not sure if it has made a difference but the new one is certainly more sturdy than the thin flimsy wires I was using before this. The Nob... | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers An update. To cut a long story short, the sub is staying. I’ll keep this short and avoid being long-winded. Most experienced folks would have known about this. After moving the sub around, I figured out that the placement of the sub is everything.... | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers Should ask what sub are you using and what speakers? Also consider using white noise and a sound meter ( app on smartphone) to get an idea of what is going on in regards to sub filling in lowest octave at your listening location smoothly. Th... | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers The effect you may be having is that the sub is acting like a tuned bass trap, OR you are finding it’s reflecting a lot from the speakers. Yes, either one must be true. Somehow any furniture in the room will affect the sound, especially thin... | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers Thanks for all responses. I find the below from Mapman particularly useful. Ideally you want one sub front and center. Front and slightly off center is next best. Avoid the corners. Rear center is another decent option especially if you sit clos... | |
| Never Spend More On Cables Than Your Equipment Cost$$$$$$$$$$ The system is in the living room and commercial room treatment products cannot be considered due to WAF issues. | |
| Never Spend More On Cables Than Your Equipment Cost$$$$$$$$$$ The power cord that connects to the DAC in my system costs more than the component. Actual price paid. The power cord is Acrolink 8N-PC8100 ($4,000). The DAC is Chord QBD76 (RRP 6,295 but I paid $3,800 for it, used). | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers How is the sub connected? It’s connected to the amp’s preout with a pair of RCA interconnects. That’s the only method of connection that is available. | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers Maybe I should.. We'll see how it goes as I've just invested in some springs to enhance the sub's performance, still in transit. | |
| Mystery feet vs Townshend pods vs Isoacustics The Finite Elemente Cerapucs have a high load rating and are usually used as the feet of a rack supporting several components. I have the Cerapuc on my FE Spider rack. The Cerapuc is not optimized for supporting lightweight components. For indivi... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 I have the newer M30xd model, and before that the M40.2 anniversary. I have read a lot online that the 30.1 were closed in compared to the newer models in the treble, but I never owned that version. I can say, though not the best comparison, I wa... | |
| Room treatments for a lively sounding room I used professional room treatment products from RPG Acoustics when I had a dedicated Home Theater / music room about 18 years ago. After moving to a new place, the main system which now comprises of different amps, sources and speakers is located... | |
