Acoustic Sound Treatment
Interesting article. It appears that LEDE enjoyed a very brief craze and is now dead. Interesting that a studio had to remodel because it sounded so bad. I am often puzzled why most Audiogon virtual rooms have extensive acoustic treatment on the w... 
James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
Dave,You may be correct. I see that Monster now sells solid core interconnects and they clearly state on their website. Ordinary cables can actually limit sound quality restricting dynamic range and frequency response. The result? You don't hear y... 
James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
Dave,No I have not tried solid core so my experience is limited to ordinary stranded cables of several types (including extension cord cable, lamp cord, monster etc.) and none have made a wit of differece to my tin ears except that I felt much bet... 
Acoustic Sound Treatment
so should one put panels behind listening position or behind speakers first? I'd go for behind the listener for bass trapping first but generally more broadband bass traps is better and you can't ever really do enough in bass trapping...although ... 
subwoofers and panels don't mix
Mr T....this may be what you are looking for Emperor (Check under products for Emperor loudspeaker)Impractical perhaps but since when has esoteric Hi-Fi been practical.20 electrostatic "woofer" panels should get you 110 db SPL down to 20 Hz! 
James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
Personally I think it would be easy to distinguish Pear Anjou from Monster in a high resolution setup (the Anjou's have ultra low inductance numbers while keeping capacitance in check). Then why do you think John Atkinson and Dave Clark do not ta... 
Chamber Music - your best pick.
And now or something completely different but true to your genre request - Bond!...and you thought classical artists were stuck up and boring! JackBlack eat your heart out!

Freemand,You may be able to collect a million bucks from James Randi....you just need to be able demonstrate this skill to the media, on stage or in public forums. Randi may not allow your wife to particpate in case she is signalling to you someho...

Would two ceiling corner panels help out to further treat my room?Yes. Undoubtedly...two large corner panels will likely give an audible improvement in bass and lower mid. 
subwoofers and panels don't mix
Just a thought - having never experimented - but could the issue be related to dynamics? A panel is not known for punchy dynamics (typically they compress audio signals and are preferred for classical listening) ...yet most subs are evaluated on t... 
Hum- help needed
How old are the amps - were the amps everin storage - could it be electrolytic caps aging? 
does anyone sharpie thier CD's???
In the old days "the devil to pay" meant to hang off the edge of a ship at sea in order to caulk the longest seam on a ship (where deck meets hull)...now it means to sharpie the edges of your entire CD collection.....*sigh*

VX700,Indeed - I just looked at your impressive home HT system and the quality of your gear is a strong endorsement for the quality of the JL F113 sub. I expect we will continue to hear great things from JL. Sorry if my cautionary note was only ba...

Bjesien,Because your Papua New Guinea Fertility statue needs recharging from the Water Tank Tweak and so you ended up wasting time surfing the web, instead of pursuing more enjoyable activities...Now cough up the million!(For those reaidng this po...

The JL woofer looks impressively built - so this may be a good start. Nevertheless, if you want to watch music DVD at audiophile quality distortion levels (not just impressive volumes by moving copious amounts of air, as in car systems or war movi...
