| Sony SCD-1:Is it time to tweak or upgrade to new? I've thoroughly enjoyed mine for the last few years. I do believe that Sony made a pretty good flagship product in the SCD-1. I read somewhere just a short time ago, that Sony could not build another SCD-1-type model in a cost effective manner and... | |
| Best Speaker for audiophile-grade small room rig Perhaps the Red Rose speakers and accompanying amplifier. I've heard this system last summer at Acoustic Sounds in Salina, KS. I thought it was a pretty fantastic sounding system. At least in the room they had it setup in.-IMO | |
| The ideal listening room Perhaps what I would consider the most important is a shorter say 7 feet ceiling behind the speakers and then head updward at a nice slope from there.I would also want the side walls to fan/toe outward as they go from front (behind the speakers) t... | |
| Audiopoints vs Mapleshade brass cones Matchstikman, if you own a sistrum rack, then you should be somewhat familiar with Star Sound's Audio Points.One should never assume that all points are created equal.-IMO | |
| Need help with a good quality speaker setup Redneck, You do not have a small room. 12 x 12 is a small room. Your room demensions are about as close to ideal as one could realistically hope for.-IMO | |
| Worthwhile $5 Tweak Hdm, sorry for the delayed post. I believe that some of the LC's do come with the ground disabled. I've purchased all of mine used. I happen to have two with disabled grounds and 1 that is enabled. Funny because that's exactly the way I have my de... | |
| what pre amp for my setup, Interesting, Gregm. Care to be more specific about this "passive" experiment? | |
| what pre amp for my setup, Raildog, is Timo your dad? :)If I remember correctly, Guy Hammel of Placette Audio who makes a fabulous active linestage and supposedly a fabulous passive one as well, claims that many of those who buy the active are those who previously owned his... | |
| Parametric EQ for Mid-bass Hump? Just guessing, but perhaps speaker placement and listening chair placement, i.e. sitting more in the nearfield position closer to the speakers, would suffice.For speaker placement you might try reading the posts in this thread:http://forum.audiogo... | |
| Speakers that accurately reproduce a drumset Ptmconsulting makes a good point as well. The real key is dynamics which comes from having the right amplifier in conjunction with a dedicated (preferably 20 amp) AC line for the amplifier. Dynamic passages force an amp to draw much current from t... | |
| Speakers that accurately reproduce a drumset Perhaps the more appropriate question is: What amp accurately reproduces a drum set?Find the answer to that question, then your question becomes much easier to answer.-IMO | |
| Imaging and soundstage Sorry, Fluffy. I'm just the messenger. But since the Allison rule supposedly emphasizes the greatest difference between all distances, I'd think you're already off to a good start.I'd recommend trying it.-IMO | |
| What is the best tweak? After room acoustics, it's probably dedicated lines. | |
| Imaging and soundstage Cosmic_void, I believe the Allison rule is a good general-type rule. The strategy of this rule apparently is to have the distances as different as possible.Therefore, averaging between the two woofer would probably work as well as any other altern... | |
| Imaging and soundstage Sure, woofer front center is:o 3.5ft from side wall.o 2.0ft from floor.o 6.0ft from back wall.3.5 squared = 12.52.0 x 6.0 = 12.012.5 is pert near equal to 12.0-IMO |
