| Wow, I heard things on tape I never heard before My opinion is that relative phase is preserved on both LP and tape as well as other two channel media. A stylus works in that the orthogonal grooves on a record (left side and right side) create orthogonal vibrations of the stylus (Up Right to dow... | |
| Bookshelf speakers with the good bass. Totem Mani-2s have excellent bass ((to ~30Hz) and sound great top to bottom. You need lots of power for them though. Yes that is an option and much more aesthetic than anything I suggested. | |
| Bookshelf speakers with the good bass. You can still find BM15P on line and new - but it may have been discontinued so it is not available everywhere. The 10 inch woofer has a 4 inch voice coil and along with the esotec tweeter this is a very serious speaker for the money. Of course it... | |
| Bookshelf speakers with the good bass. Dynaudio BM15 not BM6a is the one you want. The bass performance on this is HUGE. | |

| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Suffering from too much GAS? Sadly most audiophiles here seem afflicted with too much GAS.This is the correct technical term for what Drubin describes as the "merry-go-round" affliction. I am surprised I have never seen this popular term used here... | |
| B&W Matrix 802 series 2 vs series 3 vs ATC SCM40 Series 2 more bass. Series 3 more refined bass better attack. ATC SCM40 least bass of the three but most attack or in your face. They are all good choices. | |
| Newbie Q: How do small woofer speakers reach 32Hz? Unless it says free standing then the specs are not that meaningful as a wall will give a 6 db boost and a corner can give a 12 db boost...manufacturers make this stuff up in a business that has very little in the way of standards.The other issue ... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Brian MayThis shows why they invented reverb and the electric guitar - awesome.Here is a more technical classic approach Jeff Beck - anything by Jeff is awesome - probably the greatest guitarist ever...but who is this AMAZING GIRL? | |
| Am I overpowering my drivers when they I'm also using an Onkyo 7-band EQ and usually have the loudness activated on the Carver.This may be your main problem - the loudness. Also I suspect the speakers you mention are roughly 4 ohm. This means your carver may be sending more than 40 to... | |
| Room treatment success story I have heard a marked improvement through the addition of four GIK corner tri-traps. There was a notable improvement in the mid range. Most people are unaware of masking - where lower frequencies hide higher frequencies to our ears/brain system. (... | |
| Favorite Music DVD? 03-14-10: AudiofeilQueen at Wembley. That is an absolutely awesome concert. The sound is not that good but the show is incredible.Roger Taylor is in top form and they play everything with a little more edge and speed. The rendition of John Deacon... | |

| How high end must your system be... If you spend enough money on cables ($1000's) then you WILL hear a difference - it is quite simple - that is how it works. Doctors call this a placebo effect. You can look up the "expectancy effect" on wiki. Another explanation is that some system... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 vs CAL Sigma Your shrillness at the top end could be either jittery hash from a DAC or it might be the metal drivers used on the F30. (All rigid metal drivers suffer from unwanted ringing and designers must all try to mitigate this within the crossover design ... |
