| 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... | |

| Magico A1 or Sopra 1 or Marten Oscar Duo I own the Marten Duke 2, not the Parker Duo that you shortlisted. The Marten is smooth and detailed at the same time which may sound contradictory. The treble is just so smooth and liquid with all the details sounding crystal clear. It’s a fatigue... | |
| Subwoofer interconnect quality question I was wondering guys. I’m currently using these interconnects for the subwoofer. Will a costlier alternative sound better than this one? | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs Since Hgeifman and Erik Squires have mentioned, I might just add a little here. It’s good to note that 2 persons who have made the comparison prefer the Luxman to the Pass Labs. Although I did not have the opportunity to listen to a Pass Labs, th... | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy You could put it on a dolly if you’re moving it around frequently I think the main problem is lifting the amp alone. If the amp is too heavy, 2 persons may be required to safely lift and move the amp. The heaviest amp that I managed alone when ... | |
| 30 to 50 watts seems to be all I desire Listening to mainly Jazz at volumes less than 85db, normally. I used to listen close to 90dB when I was younger(20+ to early 30s) with peaks hitting 100dB. Now a lot older, my average listening volume is 65dB. At these levels, any amp would do ... |
