| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? Onhwy61, I do not believe anybody here, especially me, has given any indication whatsoever that improving the electrical would actually remove sibilance previously embedded into a recording.It's odd that you would insinuate someone would issue a s... | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? Natalie, Perhaps the best response I could provide would be to paraphrase Scot Markwell of The Absolute Sound after they dramatically altered the wiring, circuit breakers, etc. in room 3 at Sea Cliff about a year ago. Scot said something like: "Un... | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? Cdc, simply calling something a farce does not make it so. The lights in any given room in my home dim for a moment whenever the air conditioner comes on. Even though the AirC is on it's own seperate circuit from the lights. AirC compressors/fans ... | |
| Audio vs. Other Reviews Check out the website 'audioperfectionist.com' which a friend told me about not long ago. Here Richard Hardesky will confirm much of what you are speculating and perhaps much more.As for me, reading some of the product reviews in TAS and Stereophi... | |
| I want to start a SF Bay/San Jose/Monterey club. Tok2000, if I were still in San Rafael, I'd join your club. You think it's bad there, you should try this hobby in Kansas City.BTW, I did see your last posting in the Ayre K3-x thread and thanks for the compliment. I was preparing a nice response ... | |
| 500 to spend on int.amp,help me match with gear. There's a used Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp for sale at $600 here on AG. It's only about 75 wpc, but some to many reviewers have rated this little guy extremely well. Supposedly crosses the solid state line and sounds like an excellent... | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? No,Onhwy61, I am not saying that at all. As I already indicated in my earliest post I am already assuming that recordings and equipment are of a certain caliber. And by that I am implying sibilance is not embedded in the recording to any appreciab... | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? Correct me if I'm wrong but I would suggest that those who poo-poo the idea that AC is the main culprit for sibilance have probably never experimented with or altered their AC. Or they may have experimented with AC a bit but because of their equip... | |
| How to Achieve Great Imaging & Soundstage I believe the ingredients to producing excellent sonics in general (including imaging and soundstaging) consists of six basic ingredients:1. A certain caliber and quality of equipment (cost is not a factor but sometimes it helps).2. The quality o... | |
| Pass X-250 or McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe Buy the DNA-2 Deluxe. It's possible the Pass X-250 just might be a tad better sonically now but you'll save about $1500 or so with the DNA-2.Down the road after you send your DNA-2 to Steve McCormack for his Rev. A upgrade ($2500), there would be ... | |
| Bright room, help Typically, you want some very thick berber type carpeting with thick quality oriented pad underneath.Sell the leather and purchase a cloth sofa and/or chairs (cotton is nice and cool to the touch like leather). And clothe ottomans. Leather will re... | |
| Speaker match for 75 watt Tenor amps Have you considered the Vandersteen Model 5's? | |
| Any experience w/ Electrocompaniet EC 4.5 preamp? I demo'ed one in my home some time ago. I thought it cheap build quality, a bit gawdy looking, and very subdued sonically and dynamically to say the very least. -IMO | |
| Is there a pre-amp not processor with a sub out? Sorry, Funkydog. I missed your post. If you look closely at my post above, it clearly stated class A preamp.Better late than never. | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? As far as I know every system has a problem with sibilants to one degree or another. But obviously some much, much worse than others.I am confused a bit as you attempt to include your room acoustics and demensions into the equation. Having an extr... |
