| What the Hell Happened? Tom, I experience the same ONLY in my left ear a few minutes now and again, having just turned 50. A form of tinitus, I suspect? | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Celexa, Tramadol and Neurontin. | |
| Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me? If you want to "push" the woofer break-in, aim the speakers toward each other, wire one out of phase, turn the bass up, and let 'em pound away for a few hundred hours.THEN listen. The tweeter will still be bright because that's what NHT's always b... | |
| volume/transparency ? Audiokinesis, nice post. But re differing driver efficiencies and compression limits: why are these related?The higher sensitivity driver (almost always the tweeter) is padded anyway, so compression issues would be unrelated to efficiencies, no? N... | |
| Great Imaging Speakers Working against a wall? Sean, fine post, with kudos to Roy Allison, of course....But have ever REALLY heard flush-mounts that have stage depth BEHIND the speakerplane? | |
| HT Choice Aerial 10T or B&W N803? Ron, very interesting!You think the room sensitivity of the B&W has to do with the overly-splashy tweeter, so that sidewall splatter is more difficult to control? | |
| Are your used items selling? The "Sale Pending" stuff reminds me of the auto auction shenaninigans I run into a couple of times a week. Live auctioneers are so accustomed to shilling and pulling bids out of the air or convenient standers-by that they now have to yell "he's th... | |
| XLR vs RCA Yup, Alephs are truly balanced, and the EMC-1 likes 'em! | |
| Upgraded AC outlets ...and how many "swipes" do you think that 24k several-micron plating is good for?! Sigh.... | |
| XLR vs RCA Great posts, but Herman I don't undersatnd how balanced operation results in UNbalanced summation at the speaker...any more than a single-ended design. It's pretty clear that preference is component specific. My EMC-1 MkII CDP, for example, sounds... | |
| My wife touched my turntable - help please What's a furntable? I've enjoyed fiddleheads in salads and odd veggie dishes, but I didn't think one could...oh nevermind. | |
| Are your used items selling? My used Subie sales are down 40% this year. With a only one daughter's tuition to pay it's not as bad as it could be, but retail is a mess right now. I just over-haggled with my dealer to buy a new 36" Panasonic TV at only $200 over cost, and he w... | |
| Great Imaging Speakers Working against a wall? Deaden the front wall, as 40" is pretty minimal for a deep soundstage. Do NOT think that you'll achieve ANY stage depth with flush/wall mounting. Just won't happen. You can get a little cute with subtle tone control management to move the apparent... | |
| Running Speakers in Parallel, center channel help. How are you going to arrange the two speakers' geometries to avoid inevitable phase cancellations/combing from the two tweeters? And what about the combined impedence dip's affect on the amp's stability? Or are you just pulling our collective legs... | |
| What live performances are broadcast in your area? Seth,1670 AAAAY EMMMM?! Is all the FM space used up? I mean, listen to those MIT clowns down at 88.1...the FCC's gotta let you in! Have fun. I'll check you out on my Subie radio, somewhere in the static and sunspot stuff! |
