| Best New speaker under $5000 Congrats Audiophile1958...how does it look? Will you be posting some pics? | |
| Diffuse Front Wall? Absorb rear wall? The front is a matter of taste but a live front end is often more pleasant sounding or lively. Generally it is best to absorb on the rear wall behind the listener...if you sit with your head near this wall then you need diffusion behind you for su... | |
| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch Since you're not biamping with the sub's amp, it may be possible that you've pushed your main amp too hard. That would be my guess too. | |
| Mercury Living Presence I have a sampler of Living Presence...it is very dynamic ....to me that is what makes it so good.....sadly, most recorded music is compressed so that it can play better on mediocre home hi-fi....compression takes the life out of the music. | |
| Use RCA or Digital Output on CD to Processor Experiment - see if you can tell the difference - and use what sounds better to you. I doubt if I could tell the difference but I have tin ears.....just make sure to precisely level match the sound otherwise the ever so slightly louder signal will... | |
| What started you on the merry go round? Listening to Chet Baker, Children's TV Theme music, Ken Dodd and the Diddymen, Tom Dooley by the Kingston Trio and others at barely 5 years old on my own Gramophone box in my bedroom. It amazed me then - it still does! | |
| Rush in 5.1 surround Mrmitch,What is your favorite sound quality Peter Gabriel DVD?Have you tried Black Eyed Peas Sydney to Vegas...rather different genre I know but believe me Tal Herzberg did an amazing job on the recording (it really really sounds live like you are... | |
| Speakers and what's between them In my last post I mentioned building speakers flush into a wall to completely eliminate edge diffraction. Who would do such a thing? Here is an example. This example is from the founder of Sheffield Labs. Note the "picture frames" around the speak... | |
| Speakers and what's between them also you should keep whatever is between your speakers behind the front edge of the speaker Agree. Edge diffraction will occur at the edge of your speaker baffle anyway...but at least your speaker manufacturer will have designed for this issue so... | |
| Has Anyone Used 6AWG Wire For Speaker Cable? Where do you find connectors (bananas/spades) Try a car audio accessories dealer - these devices get power from 12 Volts....so they need very high current capacity power cables with low resistance... 4 AWG wires for example. Good Luck. | |
| Speakers and what's between them You should keep sharp edges about 3 feet from speakers... a speaker placed a couple of inches from a TV screen with a 1 inch gap between the two will suffer edge diffraction and may affect mid range imaging and sound stage.Apart from the above, no... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables you can get similar anomalies just by using a single channel to amplify from dc to daylight AND expect a pair of passive boxes (speakers) to produce sound, accordingly from dc to daylight -- all of this in totally linear fashion. A tall order. A ... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables Waffle35, You missed a big part in that a lot of the fun in audiophile is finding those "magical" pairings. I agree - "freedom to mix and match for sound is the main reason many people pursue this hobby"An Active Speaker is like a "straight jacket... | |
| Too many tubes? Great choices... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables if multiamplification is such an obvious advantage, why don't I hear more ..... Just wondering. Knownothing,I think you have nearly answered your own question...a lot of it is established marketing psychology whilst some of it is historical in ori... |
