| Law of "increasing returns" Oyaide AC outlet/plug I have gotten a massive upgrade Good for you. I sometimes wish I could get massive improvements from small changes. I am unlucky I guess...usually differences are subtle even on major electronic component changes. | |
| How loud do you listen to your music? Pdn,Your hearing will get worse anyway as you age - so enjoy it while you can. Listening at these levels several times a week for short periods (not more than an hour) is unlikely to be a major problem. Remember the quacks all told us to stop eati... | |
| Good Baritone Sax Recording? Dirty Dozen Brass Band - lots of Baritone Sax from Roger Lewis. | |
| Comparing Revel Studios with VonSchweikert 4SRII Also there is occasional irritating glare. Could be the tube and metal midrange combination I think the VS 4SR11 uses composite pulp mid range, this will be better damped and will be less likely to give you "glare" like a metal mid range. (rigid ... | |
| Behringer DEQ 2496 help Still, I cant seem to get the LEDs very far below the clipping zone.I also dont understand why optical out to optical in would introduce "clipping". I thought power amplifiers "clipped", not source devices? Many modern pop CD's are recorded at -3... | |
| Favorite driving music Just to add to Audiofeil's excellent post...Four Wheel Drive- Bachman Turner OverdriveThe Chauffeur - Duran DuranRed Barchetta - RushLittle Red Corvette - PrinceLife is a Highway - Tom PettyEvery Day is a Winding Road - Sheryl CrowHighway to Hell ... | |
| unobtrusive speaker system? As Tarasound suggests. May be some B&W or Parasound in wall designs. I have B&W in wall speakers all over the house. | |
| Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old Energy Pro 22 - probably available second hand for about $150. | |
| tubes and analog Glad to see some people standing up to what are gross misleading anti-SS amp blanket statements. I am ashamed to think that some readers (with less scientific backgrounds perusing audiogon) might take some of these blanket statements at face value... | |
| Diagnosing Distortion in PC Based System I have not noticed problems with iTunes. In fact the conversion of Apple ITunes lossy files to a CD Redbook produces remarkably good sound. | |
| Professional Monitors Bob,I suspect the dip occurs at resonance of box and driver system (see the impedance curve). The port looks like it is tuned around 40 HZ (low impedance point) to get better bass extension - this will introduce phase delays around that frequency ... | |
| Diagnosing Distortion in PC Based System I'd check the speaker with the same source music (CD) on another system and then work your way backwards to the source of the problem by adding components (eventually replacing the CD player source with your PC if all the other components check out). | |
| Professional Monitors Gb_ksu,They do look like a bargain. However, this reflex port design in a very small box speaker (6.5" woofer) will be unlikely to give you accurate bass. (i.e. you can't have your cake and eat it....great value will come at a little compromise)I ... | |
| Best amps for rock and heavy metal Jc51373,A lot goes into how the recording sounds by virtue of microphone placement, attack, reverb and EQ.See this article that explains some of it EqualizationYou can boost the 80 to 100 Hz range for a more Britney Spears "Baby One More Time" sou... | |
| Do you remember? I was wondering exactly the same thing about roofing contractors. Why is it that you hire them and they give you a ten year guarantee and then they have disolved in two years and formed a new company....?Perhaps the barriers to entry are too low a... |
