| Good Audio System for Living Room To be more general (so you don't think I'm pimping Rega stuff) I think your best approach is to find a local audio dealer with a good reputation (start a separate thread) and go to them and tell them :1) your budget2) the size of the room3) your l... | |
| Good Audio System for Living Room If you find a Rega dealer try an all Rega system. You MIGHT be able to improve by researching for hours, shopping around, looking for use bargains, but will it really be worth it? You decide. Rega makes good stuff, and if you like what the dealer ... | |
| Digital cable v. standard interconnects With my $3k system (all used .. about a $6k system new) I could not hear any difference between a Canare digital cable and a good quality home brew RCA interconnect. I even could not hear a difference when I swapped in one of the interconnects whi... | |
| Dion's new CD crashing party for some users I think it's a blessing. The fewer CD players that play Celine Dion the better IMO. | |

| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? I stand by my previous post on standing wave patterns and I don't think that there is anything in the link above that refutes it. I can understand people using "laws of physics" arguments to deny that cables sound different, or that solid state eq... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? You're right that there are peaks and valleys in the bass response due to the standing wave pattern in the room, and that this means sub placement is critical relative to the walls and listening position in most rooms.Within the peaks and valleys ... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Rlwainwright. Since my room is 10x12 according to your suggestion I should not bother with any frequency below 90Hz ? Obviously not.Driving frequencies below the lowest resonant frequency of the room is the whole point of most subwoofers. You shou... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? I think some of the reason that subs are not more widely used is that until you've heard one you really don't know what you're missing. So many ported cabinets substitute a hump in the mid bass for real bass that many people aren't really aware wh... | |

| Does using a powered subwoofer make better sound? Twl ... there are very few of my CDs which DON'T have information below 40Hz ... it may not be pure notes (e.g. organ pipes) it may simply be dynamics (e.g. kick drum, tympani). Furthermore I doubt that Ghellen can answer this question without fir... | |
