| Arcam Owners... I can't comment directly to your specific question. But I will share my general impressions.I have a C30 (C31's predecessor) that replaced an Alpha 10 integrated and a CD23 but haven't heard the CD192. I have only compared the Rotel to Arcam in a ... | |
| How Many Of Us Are Compensating I can compensate by moving speakersÂ… Magnepan 1.6's. That would be hard to do for most. Way out in the room for acoustical or small ensemble. Push them back (almost 3') to up the upper base & mid range output for rock, wall of sound, etc. Also... | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Bookmark. | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Hooray for the protective gear recommendations when riding. I believe in personal choice, but grimace when I see some kid and his girl on a sportbike in shorts, tee shirts, and no helmets.Wanted to mention that there are back protectors available.... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Duane,Sort of. I got to meet some of the folks in this thread at Mike Morrows' in Kentucky. AlexC is running an e-mail list and there was talk of getting together again. Waiting for a volunteer with the time and patience to host a get together.I a... | |
| Integrated amp with phone and headphone jack? Arcam's integrated amps have headphone jacks and MM/MC boards can be added. I suspect most units would already have the boards installed as it was only $100.The Alpha 10, FMJ 22, and FMJ 32, are the better choices than the Diva series. All are ver... | |
| Reference level playback Acoustat6, I partially agree with your premise, but I think you have taken the principle too far.Certainly, the best way to get the flavor and texture of a musical piece or set of pieces on an album is to listen at a fixed volume. Many above have ... | |
| What are the treasures in your vinyl library? Treasures? Who knows? But changed what I listened to.From when I was younger.Dave Mason - "Is Alive" and "Dave Mason"Dead - "Europe 72", "Skull & Roses", and "Mars Hotel"Who - "Who's Next"POCO - "A Good Feeling to Know"Middle AgeREM - "Murmur"... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? I once tried to answer a post similar in context to this and really couldn't find the proper words. The exitement, involvement, and surprise brought out by a "good" recording on a well balanced system is what I want. You hear a tune you like on th... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Shadorne, you're a good man. You have helped through the foolishness and learning.I think it goes something like this.... Place the 1.6's for the best soundstage coherence? Trap for standing waves and trap for quarter wave cancelations? Readjust, ... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. OK, this is not supposed to work with Magnepans but you have to follow the trail and see where it leads, if that makes sense. I try what is written in the Genelec sites, that Shadorne has lead me to, about positioning to avoid 1/4 wave cancelation... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Shadorne,Thanks for your input again. I have read your suggested links and am trying to assimilate the info. I would like to make a couple of smart changes and not a couple of hundred dumb ones. But, to be honest, I am something of a slow study.As... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Acoustat6,I have read through the Real Traps site and a lot of Ethan Winer's posts on AA. Learning a lot.Thanks,Jim S. | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Ngjockey,Thanks for the advice and sources. I found a couple of DIY bass traps recipes on AA posted by Jon Risch. I can afford to put together a couple of 18-20" tube replicas to test. They seem to be rather narrow range in absorption and if big e... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. I said I would try follow-up with the setbacks and breakthroughs. I do not know how to post the graphs in this format so I will just try to accurately describe the highlights and observations.I spent 2 days measuring under the most controlled circ... |
