| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. BTW: 128+64 = 192 HZ may also be another problem null area with speakers at 53" from rear wall...of course given other room modes/rear wall effects you may not clearly see every one of these dips, as the rear wall quarter wave cancellation effect,... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Jim,Check out this Standing WavesIf the speakers are 53" from the back wall then you will get a first dip at around 64 Hz followed by another at 128 Hz and another at 256 Hz...This is a common problem for all freestanding speakers. Of course, your... | |
| Break in period so, the perception of a change in sound of a component is anecdotal and subjective. Any electrical design engineer will tell you much the same thing. No respectable engineer would deliberately design an amp with a significant drift in electrical ... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. Whart, What always gets me is the sheer explosiveness of the kickdrum at my local club, even when the band is just warming up. I don't know of any system that recreates this effectively- it is not just a question of 'loud,' or 'dynamic' or 'deep' ... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. As I said before. If you do not really care much for music, CDs are fine. Vinyl is for people that really like and enjoy music to a high degree. You obviously don't. I often agree with your astute comments Pauly. However, this time you have me be... | |
| B&W 805 to 804 The upgrade will be well worth it. Contrary to popular belief, well designed large speakers do not need to be played loud in order to sound good. It is actually the other way round, they sound so good and lively (transient response) that you can't... | |
| Upgrading / tweaks - crossover, wiring, support You have done the major upgrade (triamping). Your DM6's must be dancing like "Happy Feet".I am not sure if it is worth going any further than the caps (unless you enjoy the fun of soldering). Before tackling stands, have you considered room acoust... | |
| Cable Isolation Absolutely. Power cables are usually unshielded. Faraday's law applies. Although a few coils is unlikely to matter unless it is close to a very low level signal like a TT cartridge. | |
| a basic question on HD This STARTS at (a minimum!) 1920x1080 Absolutely agree with Elizabeth. That is why I have still have a Sony HD CRT that can acommodate for a variety of signals. The pixel issue is a big problem until standards converge. If you ever tried using th... | |
| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? If you have balanced circuitry go for the long IC. If you have ordinary RCA then stick with the longer speaker cable. I don't think it is worth replacing a bunch of equipment for the sake of 15 extra feet of speaker wire. You could try a blind tes... | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free I turned on my audio system, the sonics really improved. The soundstage had opened up with more width and depth, fullness was improved, and so was the overall resolution and presence of the system. I noticed it immediately, and then remembered th... | |
| Any problem with a long power cord? I'm with Rlwainwright. Do not worry about this until you get to lengths of around 100 feet. | |
| Upgrading Entire System...please help I think you can do extremely well for 6 K especially second hand. I would not worry about CD or Amplifier except to get the features you want and at a good bargain price (second hand - so just keep an eye out - use audiogon bluebook). Speakers hav... | |
| The Cost of Cables Provide an electrical conductor from point A to point B, with insulation on the outside. People can understand that, and question why it costs so much. An audio amplifier is a bit of a mystery to many audiophiles, and they are more easily convinc... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. I gave up on Vinyl in 1985, that was the last time I bought a Vinyl album. Clearly I am blessed with "tin ears". I know all to well that Vinyl can sound excellent - I used to buy Japanese pressings and 12" 45 rpm singles whenever I could. However,... |
