| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? Robm321, when I said 'wall-to-wall' carpeting I meant only covering the entire flooring. I thought wall-to-wall was kind of a popular term to describe this. Sorry. | |
| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? Twl, perhaps yours is the more intriguing response. When you said "attempting to place unusal emphasis, or importance, on one part or another can get out of hand."Maybe that's what was in the back of my mind. Because up 'til now, the most common r... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Generic update. It's now been 4 days since one of the outlets has been installed. I won't say which one I installed first. But you know, it probably would have made sense to listen to outlet A first because outlet B is the one that is probably cry... | |
| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? Newbee, very good points all around. Thanks. Warrenh, I do not necessarily agree with everything you say above or at least not to quite the same degree as you, but I understand where you are coming from.-IMO | |
| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? Ohlala, stop trying to pretend you are educated beyond your intelligence. Based on your verbiage above and elsewhere, it's quite evident that you already are. For the last two years you've been like a little butt rash that flares up every three mo... | |
| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? Robm321, based on my experience, I'd have to agree at this point in time that speaker placement takes priority over a room's acoustics.Unless of course the room's acoustics are just plain horrible.I would also agree that it is a combination of all... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Yeah, I'm really quite surprised at the almost mass hysteria of some of those guys. You were quite diplomatic I might add.-IMO | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Hdm, my previous post was mostly tongue-in-cheek.My intention is to leave the one I installed in for about about a week and then swap in the other for another week or so. | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Does the fact that these outlets did not come with connecting screws for the bottom mean anything?Why are they missing? Are the one set of extra screws and contacts cryo-treated?Is it safe to assume the upper and lower outlets are both burned -in?... | |
| Review: Parasound Halo JC-1 Mono-Blocks Amplifier Nice review, DaltonLanny. 1300 hours for break-in? I hope that's in dog hours.Congratulations on a fine purchase. The consensus seems to be that the JC-1 is an excellent amp. I'm of the camp that the key to any good system starts and ends with the... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Thanks, Eldartford. I received the outlets Friday evening and just installed one of them about 1 hour ago (Sat. 8pm pst).I broke the middle contact bridges in order to allow connections for my two dedicated lines to that one outlet. (top is a 15am... | |
| Cardas Neutral Ref vs Harmonic Tech Pro 9 Plus Mattkimb96, I can't speak for the Cardas, but I've experienced a number of cables before my present ones. I've owned my Aerial 10T's for over 3 years now. My last two speaker cables were the Harmonic Tech Pro 9 Plus and prior to that were the Acou... | |
| Isolation Cones and turntable level Not to be an instigator, but isn't the term 'isolation cones' an oxymoron?I mean wouldn't the terms 'mechanical transfer cones' or 'coupling cones' be much more accurate?-IMO | |
| Regarding people selling equipment to U.S.A. only I have several things up for sale right now and I always check the USA only box. Not sure why, but if somebody from outside the U.S. were to inquire and the buyer seemed legit, and was willing to pay the shipping, I probably wouldn't hesitate to m... | |
| Nautilus 801 bass/room size amplifiers Square rooms are supposedly acoustically inferior to rectangular shaped rooms. I've only had rectangular rooms so it's hard to verify.Nevertheless, it is my experience that speaker placement can go a very long way in minimizing the negative affect... |
