| 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... | |
| Accurate vs Musical I'm with Bob P. and Pbb on this one. You could not have said it better. Accurate is supposed to produce what goes in. Garbage in will be garbage out and an accurate speaker will not hide a bad source one bit, whereas a "musical" speaker can at lea... | |
| 40hz room mode RPG Modex Corner trap? Nik,I think most DSP's have digital notch filters.I have an Anthem AVM 20 (second hand of course) which I feel is great value considering all the features and XLR outs. Good enough for me anyway. There are many other DSP's and some with more expen... | |
| Speaker recommendations in the $3,500-$4,000 range Having read your description of your room, I suggest that nearfield monitors might be apractical solution for you.Try to audition ATC SCM20-2 or 20ASL pro along with all the other good speakers people have suggested ... they are in your price rang... | |
| Energy damping or energy transfer? Cbrentc,LOL ....your thoughts make me think that someone should extend their noise cancelling headphones into a device to cancel vibrations....all you need is a 3 axis accelerometer tied to the device you want to stabilize and then a negative feed... | |
| 40hz room mode RPG Modex Corner trap? My experience is that a digital notch filter at 40Hz with a 6 Hz width worked fine for me....this kind of bass management adjustment is available on most DSP's because room resonance is such a common problem with subs that extend down to 20Hz. Obv... |
