| 2-channel listening with a sub-woofer I get seamless integration, but the sub and speakers are from the same company. | |
| Review: Bryston 4B-ST Amplifier Nice review. I am not sure I agree with all the detailed "sonic qualities" discussion in the thread. As far as I am concerned the 4B-ST must be one of the all-time best value power amps available second hand. A "no-brainer" if you are like me and ... | |
| Speaker recommendations in the $3,500-$4,000 range I agree with Jack Dotson... good choice....the Energy Veritas 2.4i are great value. Energy were my first speakers (as a student I could not afford more expensive ones). I was very happy with Energy's and still own them. They have a tendency toward... | |
| wanting info for Duke Elliington - Digital Duke CD I have this. It is pretty good. Played in classic style. If you want a better recording then Dave Grusin Homage to Duke is far better quality, however, Digital Duke, despite the less stellar recording is the "real thing" sounding most like the ori... | |
| Frequencys charted..next step?? Dzigon,Is your room 27 by 15 with 9 foot ceilings?If it is you will get a response bump between 190 Hz and 230 Hz (roughly).You can see this on a mode plot.To get the excel file for this calculation, click this linkhttp://www.studiotips.com/tools/... | |
| Frequencys charted..next step?? Since speaker placement has no effect (surprising)...is there any edge or surface close by your listening position? A wall, a corner, a coffee table, a pillar, a change in ceiling height. | |
| Frequencys charted..next step?? My last post is the speaker to wall distance for a downward cancellation spike at 200HZ (not reinforcement...oops).If you are seeing an upward spike or reinforcement at 200 HZ then the distance from the rear wall to the front baffle of your main s... | |
| Frequencys charted..next step?? 200 Hz spike might be a wall reflection reinforcement from your main speakers. If your main speaker baffle is 43 CM from the rear or 43 cm from the corner wall ( measured to furthest edge of speaker from wall ) then this would explain a boost at 2... | |
| Speaker recommendations in the $3,500-$4,000 range The Paradigm S4's are great value - this is an excellent speaker. They are about 6 db down at 40 Hz which is excellent for a bookshelf. Some find they sound a bit bright in the top end (this may reflect off your desk). The mid range is known for i... | |
| best speakers for vocals? Sounds like you want a good mid-range driver.Try a google search for "renowned soft dome mid-range" | |
| cable upgrades , real or rip off There are real improvements with thicker and different cable designs. Whether these improvements are significant enough depends on your hearing ability.The trick I have often used is to raise my existing speaker cables in the middle with a high ba... | |
| what is jitter supposed to sound like? I found this article on Jitter.http://www.regonaudio.com/Jitter.htmlREG describes the sound as an audible roughness in the case of the Stereophile test CD No 2. (Pure 11 Khz tone with excessive and specific jitter added, which created sideband noi... | |
| what is jitter supposed to sound like? Bombaywalla,Thanks, I stand corrected. Oversampling does NOT help drive jitter outside the audible range (I was definitely confused there). I believe, at most, oversampling or upsampling can reduce jitter wideband noise effects by the factor of ov... | |
| using hokey pucks for isolating speakers from the Hockey pucks are better than bowling or soccer balls! Believe me - they are more stable. Squash balls however can give pucks a run for their money...anyone have experience with curling stones or running shoes? | |
| what is jitter supposed to sound like? I think jitter sounds like the jingle of loads of money in audiophile manufacturers pockets for expensive products. The marketeers love the sound of "jittery" and fearful audiophiles who come forth, wallet in hand, with a concern that they have so... |
