| Room treatment and speaker placement???? Not sure what to make of you GK?.....You are frequently "here"...and are obviously well informed, more so than I, but I haven't quite figured out your sense of humor yet, if in fact that's what it is........I guess I should have responded directly... | |
| Room treatment and speaker placement???? In all fairness, until the past year when my wife of 40 years passed away, my "listening room" was also our living room and therefore subject to the same restraints that you speak of. My wife was very tolerant of my hobby, but it was still our liv... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Interesting and as always controversial thread. On the cable/interconnect thing, I have two opinions......and little practical experience to back either up, so take that for what's it's worth :)While I do believe that different cables, IC's etc. ... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? uberwaltzthere ya go, pointing out the obvious......and I agree. Funny really that vinyl is STILL the standard to which all others are measured............All most people under 40 care about is portability. Few have ever been exposed to a really ... | |
| Room treatment and speaker placement???? One other thing............Some of you folks likely cater to the boutique brands, esoteric tweaks and eschew D-I-Y stuff..............that's OK. If your pockets are deep and it makes you happy, go for it. Lots of people will happily sell you just ... | |
| Room treatment and speaker placement???? OK, stirred the pot did I?? LOL............I'm a D-I-Y guy, so I took the time to build all my panels, 22 so far, with a few more to come.Built my panels much the same way as many of the commercial ones, simple wood frame.............I used 3/4 pl... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? Technology is a funny thing. Back in 80 something I bought a very nice TT rig at the dawn of the CD era......practically over night record stores dried up and many of the larger labels stopped making them altogether. It got very difficult to find ... | |
| Better CDP or network player? Thanks for the post.................Yeah, I do enjoy handling the media, reading the albums notes, etc.. Fortunately......or not :)........... I don't have a massive media collection, so storage isn't much of a problem. Recently built a rack for m... | |
| ceiling acoustic treatment First, you're blessed to have such a large room, few have that. Second, spacing depends to some degree on how the panels are built. If they are open backed, there is an advantage to leaving a few inches of gap behind or above them. An open backed ... | |
| Better CDP or network player? Thanks psyop...............As mentioned, this will be my third Marantz machine and I've been very happy with them...........In it's day my ancient CD 63 was well reviewed..and still works after maybe 20 years, fussy, but playable. The SACD 8001, m... | |
| Am I using the right speaker cables? I’m with jeneral as far as placement goes. Both where your speakers are AND where your listening position is, have a significant effect on what you hear, bass in particular. I set my gear up with the speakers 1/3 of the way from the front wall and... | |
| Better CDP or network player? Hi GraberDid look at other CDP options including the Bryston stuff..............all my electronics are Bryston, BTW, except CDP and speakers........ They offer an optical player, essentially a transport, which I was hoping to pair with the Yggdras... | |
| Better CDP or network player? PS............Once it's set up and running I'll post my impressions for anyone who may be in the market for their LAST player. | |
| Better CDP or network player? Good Morning Thanks again Spencer for a detailed and informative response. How did we ever get by before the WEB???....So many helpful people with varying experiences and so much info right in your living room, or at the moment sitting on my porch... |
