| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Matrix the most important thing is to provide one coherent directional surface for vibration to collect and exit. Having multiple exit points makes for less coherence instead of more coherence.That is the result I hear.Tom | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit When properly grounded mechanically you want to provide only one surface for vibration to exit. By having something on top you are disrupting the energy flow at the bottom of the chassis which can be grounded more easily and effectively. If you ar... | |
| Absorption or diffusion???? Gsselling first thing I would do is to direct couple your TV to the surface it now rests on. I try to do this in most custom installs that I do.You need to do this as a base line before you try any other experiment . You have a giant resonator in ... | |
| Richard Green room tune? How to raise the volumetric efficiency of your sound room? This is the question we need to ponder and to ask ourselves and engage and to resolve. Knee jerk reation is to tame to kill..Sounds like alot of other bad shit happening.Thats another phys... | |
| Richard Green room tune? Why not redirect energy? Energy is hard to come by and is gone in an instant.Why do we try to tame the wild, with all the resources we generate, and then expend, in trying to capture the energy to be diminished..Its dynamic, don't let it go, use i... | |
| Room Acoustics Corner Problems Randell try to create as much symmetry in the hard structure of the room. What happens on the left should be the same on the right so goes the front and the back. If you add an angle then I would add another, not just for aesthetics but for acoust... | |
| Room Acoustics Corner Problems Fiberglass works well in large areas that are very hot and that have long and multiple time lines. Taming such areas with fiberglass as well as diffusers can greatly enhance the intelligibility of the spoken word. However for most listening or the... | |
| Two subwoofers or One? I have always used two subs. Two subs actually augment the size and shape of the soundstage adding much to the width and vertical height. Of the many pairs of subs I have used I have placed them any where from 1.5 inches in front of or at the same... | |
| Room Acoustics Corner Problems Angles in the corners can be devised so as to redirect energy back to the listening position..You can also do this for all the ceiling wall junctions as well as the two remaining corners.Nothing wrong with a corner as long as it is not a 90 and pl... | |
| Fuses - Why do same size fuses sound different? Krell man there are many Myopian Flat Earther's who have somehow recently ASSaulted Audiogon with continual negativity..They have added nothing constructive. They have only one point of view and that is negative. These people are instantly closed ... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Place your more sensitive components in a lower postion in your audio rack. Units that are particularly reactive to changes in inertia such as a cd player or transport will become more focused have greater detail and deeper bass.The lower center o... | |
| upgrading speaker crossovers & tuning Peter Snell made his own multi-caps that were composed of many small value electrolytic caps. He did this so he could add more or less value to flatten the curve. He also weighted the woofer so as to lower the resonance and to better balance the w... | |
| H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied. Blcube I am leaving for Indy this evening to attend the CEDIA show.Tyler is off site at a location for HI-End audio so I will check them out.Tom | |
| Krell SACD Standard problem No and that too will change. Tom | |
| H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied. Blcube and Ozzy I would love to audition a pair of these wooden stands in comparison to the Caravelle stands. I have listened to the Caravelles on four different sets of stands.Tom |
