Audiogon seller's question
Lets say I buy a $2000 pair of speakers Friends & Family...I also pay extra for insurance....but lets say the packing isn't great....insurance will blame the packaging and deny the claim... so good luck getting the seller to give back $2000 i... 
so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled.
For the people out there that buy bass traps and don't find much results...I have discovered: 1. The treatments are usually in the wrong places (low velocity areas).   2. The treatments aren't thick enough or heavy enough...foam wedges on amazon...

@shalommorgan I have a room with very similar dimensions. What areas did you discover had the highest bass velocity or were the biggest problem areas? For me, the corners behind my speakers were the biggest problem so I filled them both to the ce... 
DAC upgrade from RME
I had the RME ADI-2 FS V2 (AKM chip) and Chord Mojo 2 at the same time.  The Mojo 2 sounded a little more natural without giving up detail or perceived speed.  The RME sounded more in my face....front row center (exciting presentation)....with t...

I have GIK corner bass traps. They are very effective in the corners behind my speakers. They didn’t do much in the corners behind my listening position...so I stack two of them in corners behind my speakers. apparently the bass pressure was grea... 
Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks
Great points @atmasphere I have very short RCA cables & my Mojo 2 source is set to 3 Volts...if I set the Mojo DAC to 1 Volt, the sound softens...so having a source with some balls & a short RCA run could be why I’m not getting the thin l... 
Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks
Passive has no sound....so when a person says passive sounds like X....X = the natural sound of the power amp & DAC    
Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks
@roxy54 hopefully others get a chance to hear their power amps for what they are...before deciding whether or not to change the sound.  I love my solid state Van Alstine power amp with a passive pre. The distortion profile of the power amp is jus... 
Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks
First, you must hear Ralph's amp with no active preamp to see if you like the sound or if color is needed.  You can do this with the passive Schiit Sys for $50.  If you like what you hear, you can buy a proper pre such as the Benchmark HPA &am... 
Help me understand the current amp market
you're getting recommendations from Benchmark, Pass Labs, & SET amps...wildly different sounds...you would need to define better.  Benchmark is a technical winner for example...but you may find the sound lean or not organic compared to higher... 
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@mlsstl I didn't use the words "needing permission." You did...creating a strawman argument. I wrote "didn't have permission" which is a fact and not a value judgement.    
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@botrytis I know this and even stated this. Please see my statement below. in this specific case Erin did notify Eric that he was reviewing his product, to make sure he had the correct listening axis.  
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@mlsstl in this specific case Erin did notify Eric that he was reviewing his product, to make sure he had the correct listening axis. However, he didn't have Eric's permission to review his product or publish measurements....which is the norm for ... 
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@mlsstl permission is the norm so a review done without permission was worth mentioning for contextual reasons...no other implications.    it sounds like you are trying to justify rude forum behavior. Just treat it like real life...you know the p...
