| New to this. How do I stack my stuff? n80Yes, moving your chair away from the rear wall, typically DOES improve the sound for the same reasons that moving the speakers away from the front wall does. It's all about how the sound from your speakers interacts with room boundaries, walls,... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Have to take your word for the P.T. quote geof, too early in the day to google it. Color me skeptical as far as tweaks............Yes, some of them work, to varying degrees in different systems, done it myself , but the difference is often subtle ... | |
| New to this. How do I stack my stuff? N80OK, gotcha on the speaker placement thing. My room is similar in dimension, but slightly bigger, 14x23, but with low, 7'8" ceiling. My speakers are also set up across the short end of the room, which is actually preferable in many setups, so yo... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Why do I hear the ghost of P.T.Barnum laughing...........a sucker born every minute.....yet another magic elixir that will make such an improvement in your total system that you absolutely HAVE to have it. Regardless of the price, it's a STEAL.I j... | |
| New to this. How do I stack my stuff? Nice!!.....and the walnut blocks great. You'd spend "silly money" for those "tweaks" from a vendor. Definitely gonna need to work on your speaker placement and room treats at some point, lots of good info out there for free......All this stuff tak... | |
| New to this. How do I stack my stuff? Not sure what all the fuss about wood is......yes, it's flammable, but if your gear gets THAT hot something is seriously wrong. Probably tens of thousands of wooden stands or wooden shelves being used out there for gear. Never heard of it burning ... | |
| New to this. How do I stack my stuff? I'm a wood worker, not a terribly GOOD one, but I enjoy building things. I recently finished a simple rack for my gear that to all intents resembles a coffee table with a lower shelf. Used 1x3 red oak for legs, triple laminated..glued and screwed... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? I come to these sites for informed opinions and the benefit of others experiences that differ from mine.................sad and interesting how quickly an otherwise reasonable discussion can degrade into a locker room Pss'ing contest............So... | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) Vandy's and power levels.I agree with audionoobie concerning the need to goose the Vandy's a bit to really open them up. Mine, the 3A's, seem to have two gears, low, which is fine for more casual listening and high when you really want them to sta... | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) Panels and placement.Placement isn't critical, but cover your first reflection points first. This is where music from your speakers will bounce off flat any room surface, wall or ceiling and be reflected to your listening position............think... | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) ArturosLots of info sites and manufacturers for acoustic panels and placement. If you have the cash any number of places will be happy to sell you their room treatment panels...................I'm a D-I-Y guy and like getting the best bang for the... | |
| New to this. How do I stack my stuff? A 95 pound amp is heavy, but even plywood would support it with 4 feet or spikes or whatever you want. That's less than 25 pounds per corner. 3/4 ply or just about anything else that you wanted to build, butcher block, layered plywood, whatever. I... | |
| New to this. How do I stack my stuff? It’s not fancy, but it’s dirt cheap, quick and solid............cinder block with board shelving between them. You can go wide or straight up depending on your setup.......and wife. You can paint or stain the boards, even paint the block to dress ... | |
| Cable Burn In I'm wasn't implying that different cable may or may not sound better or different in a hi-rez system, although in a pure sense, properly designed and built for the application, they should do nothing at all to the sound except get it from A to B. ... | |
