| SQ vs. Music I select the type of music and then the artist/group l like listening to. I try to rotate equally among all of the records I have of the artist, but there are a few that get skipped over or artists with only 1 or 2 albums that never seem to hit th... | |
| Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice! Pretty easy to set up PayPal. If he won’t make that small effort, forget about him. If the deal is too good to be true, it is. | |
| Schumann Resonator @mahgister - I am glad you finally came around and are willing to admit it may be affecting you and not the sound. I have no opinion, I only beleive in FACTS.@sbayne - you are a helluva researcher. How many of those articles talk about SG effects... | |
| Schumann Resonator @bemused - I don’t own a pink noise generator and my CD player hasn’t been hooked up in15-20 years.I agree with @theaudiotweak. Measure the sound with a microphone with and without the SGs playing normal audible music, not pink noise. I don’t know... | |
| Schumann Resonator @bemused,@mapmanI am just trying to get some agreement on whether these things change the actual measurable sound in the room. Not how we process it.I am not an acoustical or sound engineer (but admittedly am an engineer who believes in science an... | |
| Schumann Resonator Of course a magnetic field creates electric current, Physics 101. Just like current creates a magnetic field, especially in wires in loops.I would love to see someone actually measure sound (which is what we can agree on here is what matters) with... | |
| Schumann Resonator This discussion is priceless. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you think it makes your system sound better, then it does.Foreign governments tortured hotel guest with inaudible sound waves that got headaches and got physically sick not k... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Keep the speakers at least 3 feet from the wall behind it. I always thought mine were until I was looking at some acoustic panels and traps (GIK acoustics told me it wasn't worth doing the limited things I can do because of my multiple listening p... | |
| Top down or bottom up? Just asking... Would you rather own a Mercedes or a Toyota? Stupid question. It depends on the model. I might prefer a Lexus (Toyota) LS5xx over an E series Mercedes at a similar price point. There are different processes, even factories in certain cases. Market... | |
| Upgrading phono stage I recommend getting a phono stage for the long haul, like a Sutherland that has good adjustability/flexibility so you can use a wide variety of cartridges. Wait until your cartridge stylus wears out and then get a new one that has styli that can b... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @turnbowm- I said for ALL cables other than power, shorter is better. For power cords, it is better to have slack so there is no risk of them unplugging due to tension and getting them a few feet longer, nothing extreme. @mahgister- as you say - i... | |
| Please Educate Me @woofman - Hard nosed audiophiles are not happy with digital music. You might say serious audiophiles aren’t, but that would cause a heated argument. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @turnbowm- I believe it cleans up the power as the current goes from the wall (or a power conditioner, power strip, etc.) to the component, so the longer the cable, the more it conditions the current. This was explained to me by a company that spe... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict The longer the power cord the better. The shorter the interconnect or speaker wire, the better. Don't let wires touch and keep them as still as possible. These are indisputable scientific facts. Minor violations will most likely not be audible, es... | |
| Please Educate Me You’re now decorating for sound. Great if the wife oks it. Bass traps come first in corners where floor meets sidewalks and ceiling meets sidewalls. |
