| Speakers that sound good in tight spots? Most speakers do not like to be placed up against a rear wall. Bass radiates in all directions (front port, rear port or no port still radiate in all directions). These setups give quarter wavelength cancellations (comb filtering) from the rear wa... | |
| Are the Audio Physic Virgo II's ageing well? I know a friend who has a third hand pair of Virgo IIs - very happy with them. Great image. Don't push them too hard - thats all. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Ojgalli,There is a lot of science behind the claims made on the links you quoted. The problem is that science is not always trusted and fear of missing out on a potential performance improvement continues to drive people to try things.Another thin... | |
| Transformer noise including Powervar DC offset seems to be a big problem for tranformers especially when driven to saturation. If possible, the best is to unplug the offending device that is feeding DC offset back to the mains (AC or DC motor or another power supply like a chopper po... | |
| member system photos??? Good point. Given the long proven benefits of soffit mounting for speakers and the prevalence of this format at the professional high end, it is astonishing to see audiophiles, spend huge $$$ on all nature of tweaks, whilst ignoring a fundamental ... | |
| How do I know what my system's Yeah Etbaby has a good point.....either room treatment or a DEQ2496 might do much more than a new amp | |
| Matching the center channel to the fronts If your seating position is mainly for yourself and rarely a crowd...then by positioning your seat directly in front you can do without a center channel...just get bigger fronts and phantom the center to both fronts and keep fronts relatively clos... | |
| Have you seen the VR9SE Review? Jtinn,Thanks for pointing out this article. Mike did a fantastic job of describing a wonderful journey to achieveing what must be absolutely amazing sound. I am in awe.Two-thirds of the way through the article, however, I was troubled that all the... | |
| Choosing the right Bryston amp Put it this way....at high levels and with significant bass material the 3B will clip before getting the most out of your speakers. Clipping is the main cause of speaker failure: bass woofer sucks up too much of the amps power and then (most often... | |
| Choosing the right Bryston amp IMHO go for more power than you think you will ever need - the bigger amp. On some tracks you will be glad of the extra head room. | |
| I hope break in is true johns33031,I agree. I simply can't see a good reason to design something with significant drift in response over time ( which is what a break in period suggests ). Drift over time is something designers should really be trying to avoid - just as t... | |
| Balanced/Unbalanced --- Whats the difference? Many threads on this - check the archives. Unless you have long runs or a hiss/hum problem, RCA is fine. | |
| How to connect bi-wire speakers Rlwainwright,Your understanding matches mine. IMHO up to 2 Msec of delay between drivers is what most pros believe is below audibility... so most speakers are designed with this in mind. Generally a smooth phase response is desired rather than pur... | |
| Music out there with good bass The Uruk-Hai LOTR The Two Towers (in general lots of bass on LOTR sound track) | |
| Need an audio switch box - 2 sources/1 pr speakers Holly,Switches are no problem. Ratshack has plenty. For $300 I probably would have gone for an airport express and wireless card for the PC and a passive analog summing box (RCA connection box with resistor network to couple analog outputs)...for ... |
