| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Tomcy6, actually that is very interesting and I’ll do just that. I enjoy reading about things like that by people who know what they’re talking about. Over the past year or two I’ve stumbled across some sites and Youtube videos where people like M... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Tomic601, I have had some luck adjusting the speakers positioning, even though it’s a pretty limited amount I can move them around to make adjustments. I’ve had to put off purchasing any books or anything else for that matter outside of groceries ... | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Tomcy6, thanks for the heads up on the Steve Hoffman Forums being a good source for discussions of different album releases. When doing a search on "Layla" that was one of a numberof sites that popped up. Next time around I’ll follow your advice a... | |
| A philosophical question. That's the fun of it, to learn about and appreciate new things. Now if you miss out on Tommy James and the Shondells, no big loss, but other things might a big loss to never understand, and great things to appreciate if you do get to. Maybe the Se... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Tomico, I did find and download the Vandertones but have no idea what to do with them yet. Mostly what I am doing now is only moving the A3’s laterally from 7’ to maybe 9" apart and adjusting their toe in. There’s really no a lot of play in what I... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Insearchofprat, that sounds like a good practical way to systematically adjust my current speakers location withing the restricted location parameters I’ve got to deal with. I’m not sure all of my new components are broken in thoroughly. The Magic... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Tomico60 and asvjerry, OK, I did google Fibbo sequence and came up with the Fibonnacci sequence. I’m guessing this is what you are talking about. Said something about the golden rule be an example. My golden rule is do unto others....... and leave... | |

| Anyone have this kind of problem with their amp? Jim, I've no helpful suggestions, but had that identical problem with my Phase Linear 4000 Preamp's right channel off and on for over forty years. I took it to three different repairman over that time, and even back to the Phase Linear factory, wh... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Glupson, I've moved the speakers today almost about as close together as they can go in this setting, 7 feet OC, and I' m pleased with the result so far. I wouldn't have guessed that would be the way to go. There must be some point of no return ... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Morningstaraudio, you're lucky to have one of those laser measuring devices I was thinking how nice it would be to have one this morning as I was trying to accurately aim the speakers so they would both point to the exact same spot on wall the beh... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Geoffkait, $19.99 for the XLO Test CD is even better yet. Thanks.Richopp and winnardt, your implication there are better and more accurate speakers than my Magico A3's is dastardly indeed.Big_greg, since it was reported yesterday Amazon's Jeff Bez... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Ncdogdoc, thanks for the link, that’s about $30 less for the XLO test disc. Cheeg, how due you get the sound stage to extend outwards without being out of phase?Rego, thanks for your clarifications and the link to the Townsend video on decoupling.... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Geoffkait, thanks for the clarification on the XLO versus the Sheffield test CD and the link you provided. Is yours literally made of gold like the one in the link says it is. What next?Millercarbon, thank you again for your detailed answers to my... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Rego I’ll try your suggestion of moving the couch out of the way and standing a bit from the wall. I can also try having no toe-in just to see what that sounds like. Interesting suggestions to start to get a feel for the sound. Moving the speakers... |
