| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? That's a pretty incredible post, Kr4. This is just a shot in the dark but you're not involved with one of those new inner-city Toastmaster's summer programs are you? If so, I think it's working.-IMO | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? I've offered a response I think back in 2002 but perhaps I can offer a bit more insight since then.The all-important question is what "sound" are we talking about? For my response, I'll assume you're implying "the absolute sound" (tas), the sound ... | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? MrTennis, wow, you're a reviewer now, eh? Congratulations.As far as I know there are many reasons why people listen to or indulge in music and I would not presume to know why or even really care much what those potentially many reasons may be. If ... | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? Why should a brutally honest system be automatically aligned with a hyper-detailed system when in fact they are mutually exclusive? Or at least should be. A brutally honest system will reveal far more musical detail including distortions (system s... | |
| Music Room vs. Home Theater Design Question? Without doubt and regardless of size, room dimensions do have an influence on your system's sound.But on the other hand sound is sound. Your system and room make no distinction between the sound of a music and a movie performance, nor should it. A... | |
| room placement question I don't think it would be as bad as some speculate. Other than this questionable it seems to be an excellent space.I'd suggest 3 things. 1) Install solid wood panel sliding double-pocket doors between the great room and kitchen. 2) modify the main... | |
| Connect 3 High Current Amps to a Power Conditioner You say high current drawing. But how high is high?If you truly have high current or even medium current drawing amps, each amp really should be on its own dedicated circuit/line otherwise the chances are great that each amp (or other components s... | |
| Whats a good low profile power conditoner/ surge p Hawkeye, regrettably, most power conditioners are not worth owning because 1) they do not actually condition the AC, 2) they often times inject their own noise, 3) they often times rob the amplifier of the juice required to reproduce dynamic and/o... | |
| Help me solve static electricity problem Try wearing different shoes. I notice that when I wear my street shoes, shocks are generated routinely. But when wearing my slippers no shocks are generated. Both have rubber soles.-IMO | |
| Does Technology Trump Quality? Hypotheticals, eh? Well, let's establish some numbers. It's no secret that some with a passion for live music and also for high-end audio freely claim that we're lucky if even our very best state-of-the-art (sota) systems can capture at most 15% o... | |
| How do I dampen my listening environment? Yes, your wood floors may indeed look gorgeous, but what you need now is a gorgeous area rug to accent the room and floor and minimize some of those reflections. Also, lots of oversized Pottery Barn floor-to-ceiling velvet draperies will help imme... | |
| Which preamp helps lower listening sessions? If you find that your system sounds better at lower listening levels, then your new preferred listening levels are most likely minimizing all the shortcomings and distortions that louder volumes cannot mask. Hence, it can sound more 'musical' in s... | |
| power condtioner Many popular power conditioners (aka AC filters, aka line-conditioners) are not worth owning as they generally induce their own sonic harm or compromise the sound in other ways. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack but if you can find one ... | |
| Using Power Conditioners/Distribu with Amplifiers Thanks for the plug, Jamiek, as I just so happen to have a Foundation Research LC-100 for sale right now on a'gon.I've been using Foundation Research products for the last 9 years and they appear to be at the top of the food chain. I currently hav... | |
