| 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... | |
| Amazing James Randi? Soundgravy.. .....Gravy Train ....Crazy Train...i'm going off the rails...what does moniker lewinsky have to do with it? | |
| Music to evaluate Speakers and System {quote] Mahler Symphony No.1 with Zander on Telarc [/quote]I agree! Wow. I met Benjamin last time I was in Boston. What a demanding character - he sure knows how get the best out of an orchestra! | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer There is another thread at the moment that speculates how mid range can affect bass perception ....perhaps it also works in reverse too.......all the same I am puzzled by what you both report but I don't doubt your observations.Here is the link | |
| Buying in iTunes: restrictions? DRM software allow you five computers each time you want to play on a new computer it will need t oconnectto iTunes store to authorize - if you junk a computer then you should disable it with iTunes...if you are lazy and forget and find you can't ... | |
| Need advise regarding small bookshelf monitor If you mount in a bookshelf or entertainment system - do yourself a favor and install with a picture frame around the baffle and integrate into the walls in a flush mount fashion. If you do not then you will surely face strong edge diffraction iss... | |
| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch Itball,Thanks for sharing. That article was very interesting. My experience has also been that mid range seems to affect bass perception enormously. It has always puzzled me how even a blown tweeter (far from bass frequencies) will modify bass per... | |
| Music to evaluate Speakers and System Midirons,I really enjoyed that article thanks for sharing.This recommendation below is a real gem! play a larger number of recordings of vastly different styles and recording technique on two different systems to hear which system reveals more dif... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view This is one of the intrigues of class D for me as they often lack some of the more heinous colorations that I associate with transistors and tubes. Theoretically, since Class-D depends on utlra high speed circuitry it looks like it might be super... | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer Have either of you tried the PARC set flat and compared it with the bypass function?Of course, if you have dirty power then adding any powered device may add complications. My experience is that digital devices seem most sensitive to power... | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer Bob,Biamping should certainly give you huge improvment in clarity in the mid range, as you will reduce interaction from the crossovers and drivers being in one shared complex hard to drive circuit (read much easier load for each amp and way lower ... |
