| Squeezebox upgrade options for $500-600 Have you considered buying a Benchmark DAC1 or Lavry DA10. It will cost you a little more but modifying anything may limit your resale value (should you choose to go another route in a year or two) | |
| Speakers that disappear Or is that a good thing? It is good thing. With nobody to fight over the remote control, you can order a pizza and watch the hockey game in peace with the added bonus of no need for an effort to make meaningful conversation at the dinner table! | |
| HDMI Cable comparisons People who think they are hearing and seeing differences with different types of digital signal cables are suffering from the placebo effect. Don't believe the bologna...There is a well known problem of interface jitter from transmitting the cloc... | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? Jim S.Well I am glad to see my comment helped at least one person.Basically you need to think of your ears/brain as responding to the overall acoustic power in your room. A squashed distorted signal may have a much higher RMS (Root Mean Square) po... | |
| Speakers that disappear Castle Acoustics models with the top firing driver. Yes indeed they do a good disappearing act. They were good. I heard they also went out of business - so disappeared that way too. | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? On a small two way when it sounds really "loud" then there is usually distortion either on the system or the recording. It is not well known but undistorted music can be played much louder without fatigue or sounding loud than distorted music many... | |
| Harwood Flooring Information For Dedicated Room There is a special underlay product that reduces noise and is used in appartment buildings - I'd recommend that to dampen vibration - it is expensive though and the floor will need to be glued down. I think a live end can sound nice if you have an... | |
| Define In a 2 way system where the drivers are not time aligned, is it, for the purposes of measuring distance to the acoustical center, more useful to use the woofer or the tweeter? Is this a Voight-Kampff test to detect if you are an audiophile? | |
| Sony X55-ES CD player... thoughts? I had a Sony TAN80ES amp for a few years too - there was nothing written about it either but it was a solid amplifier that performed well, IMHO. I think some people just assume all Sony gear to be crap but it isn't necessarily always the case. The... | |
| Sony X55-ES CD player... thoughts? I am with you. I find the differences in digital gear is subtle - they are there but these differences tend to be dwarfed by individual recording quality (good CD versus bad CD). The difference between a $300 player and a $10,000 player is much le... | |

| What is your favorite type of tweeter? no one has commented on electrostatic tweeters. why ? Perhaps because that is a major problem with large flat panels - being the opposite of a point source they suffer from severe beaming issues that will cause "comb filtering" in what is heard. | |
| Holographic imaging It is a fact that some people hear pitch better than others, but from what you are saying, none of this has any bearing on your 'phenomena'. Yes but it is also a fact that we ALL hear pitch or frequencies more accurately than just about anything ... | |
| Article in WSJ about compressed dynamic range Unsound - isn't it strange that they keep master tapes pure and uncompressed but we won't be ever able to hear them because of this mentality?It is so sad... Perhaps some studio rats might pipe in, but it's my understanding that the process used ... |
