| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @baclagg -- Good plan! From your description, you may have too many things absorbing sound and one in particular that is taking out the 2KHz! You can fix that with an equalizer. You can also replace your side absorber panels with a diffuser pane... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement @clearthinker those pre and phono amps used batteries build into the units or connected to a DC power inlet. That is different from using a cheap AC inverter running from batteries. I could word that differently. A cheap, high powered switch mode ... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement Isn't it against code to put 240V outlets in most rooms in the home? If so a good electrician won't do that for you. I have my doubts a cheap sine wave inverter will be noise free. That's a giant switch mode power supply. Audiophiles are obses... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? When looking at response, 5dB/division please. Bass looks okay. I would tame that one peak. The dropout at 2K is a far bigger problem. It’s 10db. That is very audible. I would prefer more slope at high frequencies. You said you had panels. You ... | |
| Anyone Know Where To Get The 4 Big Can Caps? Get 68,000uF, 80V. 67,000 is a weird value and you don't need it. I doubt you could get 75V either though some old stock probably. Digikey, Mouser, Arrow, Newark, Avnet. They all deliver next day or close to it. Don't waste your time with bout... | |
| Two audio components no one really talks about Rooms are frequently discussed on audio forums I assume this one is no different, but no one ever accused philes of being good listeners. Big room, reflections farther from the side, feels spacious. Small rooms, reflections arriving close enough ... | |
| MoFi controversy We are audiophiles. If we never bought anything from companies that use deceptive marketing practices, we would be listening on Gramophones. | |
| Something on top of a speaker=okay? R2D2 and Marvin the Martian say yes it is okay. If it is okay with them, it is okay with me. | |
| Why do so many people have problems with bass? @jumia , I will give you a hint. Stand in the middle of your room. Look around. You can probably see the problem source. Most people have 6 of them. Some have more. Large flat surface. They reflect. Your room is like a giant bath tub for bass. Slo... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . Sacrilege would be saying most tube amplifiers are nothing but glorified equalizers. Did I say that out loud? I did, didn't I. It has already passed through any number of analog and digital equalizers, most with cheap by phile standard electronics... | |
| MoFi controversy I love a good controversy! I did not know that Mofi claimed to use only first generation master tapes. Are you sure? That sounds like a bad practice. Common sense would be to use the generation that has degraded the least. Some of those 2nd gener... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement @laynes , I did not see anywhere where you indicated you have a specific noise issue that you hear? I disagree with Steakster in terms of what electrical noise will sound like in an all analog system. Noise does not enter an all analog system and... |
