| Room Acoustics I'm sure it depends on all the ingredients, but if you move your speakers far enough out from the back wall, you should minimize any negative impact.In my case, when I had a 50 inch rear projection back and between my speakers, the only noticeable... | |
| What do you think of Classe Although each amp mfg'er you mention adds it's own sonic signature, the Classe amps should fall right into the same category of the Krell and perhaps the Pass Labs amps.Perhaps that may or may not explain your already wanting more.-IMO | |
| Is Sony's SCD-777ES still the way to go? I've owned the SCD-1 for the last few years and as far as I know the SCD-1 and 777es are still some of the very best for the money. For both redbook and sacd.-IMO | |
| Subwoofer Question I agree with Warren. Coupling is the way to go. Isolation and/or dampening is an outdated strategy that seems to make sense, yet almost never improves sonics but only alters the sonics. In the end isolation and/or dampening is impossible to execut... | |
| upgrade transport or amps..advice please I agree with Avguygeorge. | |
| Your Experience with Sub/Monitor Combos Sogood51 makes good points. With my experience and observations, I would respond with the following:1. Most subwoofers are active with their own built-in amplifier. And subwoofer mfg'ers are typically never noted for their outstanding amplificatio... | |
| PC and isolation device for Linn Classik Mephisto, 1) It would seem to me that if you had the right power cable, it would not matter what component you connected the pc to.2) Very puzzling that you produced such a nice review on the Sistrum rack (which adheres to the 'mechanical transfer... | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Personally, I read TWL's posting as directed toward Eldartford only. Not to the originator of this thread nor anybody else. And it also appeared to me that TWL responded in a certain way because of that individual's use of the word rediculous in d... | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Edartford, regarding TWL's posting, I believe it was you who used the word 'rediculous' for those believing anything other than what you believe in this regard. Although I may have chosen different wording, I think TWL made some excellent points i... | |
| Mixing and Matching Cable Brands: Bad Idea?? It's no more right and wrong than mixing and matching your components and as such you'll hear about good and bad results of such endeavors. Just like good and bad stories about mixing and matching components.-IMO | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Slappy, your best bet would be to check out some white papers at StarSound.biz. They are the mfg'er of the leading performance-oriented rack called the Sistrum (and Audio Points). Reading some of those materials should be enlightening.But in essen... | |
| How would you rate ??? You might add the Audience Au24 speaker cables to the list. Which more than likely would move right to the top of this list or most any list.-IMO | |
| Preamp input needed I'm using the PL X2.5 and really enjoy it. Supposedly it is quite similar to the X1. To help keep it from getting too analytical, you might try the following:o Obviously, mate the X.1 with an amp that is this side of warm and rich in sound.o Conne... | |
| hardwood floors and spikes Bomarc, I believe the reason for having spikes, cones, or points is to provide a focused and expedient exit path for any and all air-borne vibrations and resonance captured by the coponent above them. This would adhere to the mechanical transfer t... | |
| DIY Footers Part II Jeff, by suppressing the transmission of 'noise', you are also suppressing the transfer of vibration and resonance. Therefore, any air-borne vibration or resonance inside your components, rack, and/or speakers have no exit path. I'm relatively new... |
