| How to Position Speakers in a Square-ish Room Diagonal across one corner will work best in this case. | |
| Speakers sound best facing wall???? You need to see an ENT. Something could be wrong. It is absolutely NOT NORMAL (as you are aware) to prefer the sound with the speakers turned backwards. Your speakers are fine - you should not have a problem with Tannoy's.Do you have the same prob... | |
| What is your favorite recording with a quirck Waifs - A brieff History LIve - "Here if you want" - a beautiful balad is interupted towards the end by a mobile telephone - "turn teh bloody phone off" she yells after the song. | |
| ATC SCM7 vs. Proac Studio 110 ATC will prefer more power and will have a more articulate tight and punchy bass (no port) but it won't have as much bass extension as the Proac (reflex ported). The ATC midrange and articulation will have the edge on Proac but the Proac bass exte... | |
| Wadia 170i and Benchmark Dac1 - anyone try it? Perhaps your player is doing some kind of conversion or compression (44.1 to 48Kz or to 96Khz or to compressed Dolby or something like that). Perhaps it is doing a poor job at converting. Check your settings. | |
| Do I need a power cable - if so what brand? You guys need to be more like me. Gunbei,I wanna be like you. | |
| what do I change or upgrade? Assuming no distortion from clipping. A three way generally will get you better midrange clarity. As you turn it up the room reflected energy plays a greater role - the ideal driver size for midrange is around 3 inches or so. The problem with an 8... | |

Digital is Digital and provided the source reads the bits correctly then it should soun... | |
| Help narrow my speaker search. $2500-$3500 used. Well Said Jaybo - for the money I agree. | |
| 2 subs? This problem might be the suckout at 130 Hz to 170 HZ . This is probably due to the tuned pipe - 150 Hz is around 8 feet - so ceiling height may play a big role in the sound (does it excite the ceiling room mode for a boost or not) Since the pipe... | |
| Voltage Regulator APC H15 new around $450 or Rotel RLC-1040 $500 (if you want an audiophile branded product) | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference? Shadorne - I was under impression that we discuss sonic differences of different transports with the same DAC and not comparing DAC with stand alone CDP.That was the way I understood it too. It doesn't matter anyway as I am quite happy if we all u... | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference? He claims that the only way to get real piano sound is to use headphones because crossover does similar thing. You can use active speakers to eliminate that issue, which John Siau should be aware of. One of his customers bought 7 Benchmark DAC1's... | |
| Help narrow my speaker search. $2500-$3500 used. The Vienna Acoustics Beethoven should do the trick to get rid of any midrange issue. | |
| Help narrow my speaker search. $2500-$3500 used. I'd go with Dunalvy SC IVa's. What? The less than 44" tall junior version? |
