| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i My post of 08:44 reads, "Since you like planners, could you stretch to Quad 2912?" DAMN that autocorrect. Should read, "Since you like planars, ... Quad 2912." | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i @ozzy62 "So what you’re saying is that it’s the perfect room?" Yes, pretty much. Cox (www.acoustics.salford.ac.uk) did large scale simulations of hundreds of thousands of rooms, and concluded that almost everything that most people have ever writ... | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i Also, your room is awfully close to an optimal solution. Record shelves or bookcases along the long wall could do quite a lot for your sound. See the article by the famous acoustician Cox, of U of Salford. No snake oi, just the results of a large ... | |

| For those who miss Geoff Yeah, just like I pictured him. That's not a compliment. | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? @vthokie83 If you are building from scratch, you might want to specify good room dimensions. The research has been done, by the famous acoustician Cox. He found that about 2% or so of rooms are good, about a quarter are OK, and most were bad (publ... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS Since you have tried ML ESL hybrids, and liked them, why not audition a full range ESL, especially Quad 2912 and Sound Labs? I’m a Quad man, (ex ML - got tired of hybrids, YMMV) and I listen at such low volumes that my friends complain about it. S... | |
| GROUNDING - assistance on how NOT to shock yourself I have a strip of tin-coated copper bus-bar screwed to the wall beside my turntable. It is connected to a 50K resistor, connected to ground (in this case, a copper cold-water pipe nearby). The bus-bar doesn't make it more effective, but it's def... | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? Sounds like more analysis than listening here. I think that's the big trap. With me it's more building than listening, which is probably worse. | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" According to an historian of British monarchy, Handel's music was intended as an instrument of royal power, not unlike the Church of England and the aristocracy. An analogue of the NFL in another place and time. | |
| Bogus Ratings for MOFI SACD's That's very disappointing. | |

| Top 10 Live Albums Joan Baez in Concert, V1 and V2 And on a completely different note, the first full length stereo recording still extant: Beethoven’s 5th piano concerto, The Emperor, performed in Berlin during an air raid, by Gieseking and conducted by Artur Rot... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? It's hard to credit that a few resistosr can make such a difference - but it does. | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? Well, best components that money can buy. For example, I put a dozen of the best reviewed resistors in a selector switch, and put it in place of the gain resistor. Then chose the best - it was nude Vishay, VAR series, hands down. So every resistor... |
