Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
Rather than stuck in a box I will accept "off the rails" as a compliment. Thanks Tom 
Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
Several first time visitors when hearing the system with their eyes closed were asked to point in both directions where the sound stage ended..it was a foot or two beyond the main stereo pair. When asked to do the same with the same recording the ...

TimlubBack in the day when I first began to use stereo subs I also used Marcof inner connects the ones that were black. I also had the latter blue ones but the black ones sounded as if they had less phase shift so I sold those off the blues and st... 
Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
And their are those who look beyond what has been published yesterday. The most important word you posted is 'hear' A box has boundaries and so does a room. When pressurized they generate upward harmonics even from applied electrical slopes of 24d...

KalA room an enclosure and free air are all passive radiators so they all must be incompetent. Tom 
Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
You can hear where the bass originates even below 40 hz. Again the box/enclosure is a giant passive upward frequency generator. A 40 hz crossover point will not stop the box from being pressurized above that selected frequency. You will increase t... 
Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
Dual stereo L/R time aligned subs matched up with the mains is the way to fly. Even if you cross over the subs at 40hz the actual cabinet enclosure acts as a giant passive radiator creating at least 4th order harmonics that need to be blended in t... 
Where to use Isolation devices
JohnI use the resonance grounding method. You could describe it as a grounding rod or lightening rod. Vibration itself can be given direction with the use of similar hard materials all reactive by nature. These reactive materials also need proper ... 
Where to use Isolation devices
JohnYou now need to ground/terminate the 30 lb. slab it has an even greater reserve to fill of unwanted resonance. It can sound even better yet. The whole process should be to direct the energy to ground/the mass of your floor. These pathways to g... 
Where to use Isolation devices
The purchase and support of products that Claim to isolate should be a buyer beware alert. Isolation only exists in the absence of matter. Products that claim to isolate are a failure from the start based on such a premise that cannot deliver. At ... 
Review: CH Technologies X15 power cord
If you have applied for a patent then your design is protectedby the date of the application at the US Patent Office. You may have to defend that patent application before the actual patent is granted (when exposed to the public} but then you may ... 
Capacitors in Cary PH302 phono amp
PaulI saw that your setup is tubed based and mine is not. The reference to maximum temperature rating was in reference to the 2 caps in proximity to high heat exposure. Your measurements predict that your cap of choice will work just fine. Cool. G... 
Capacitors in Cary PH302 phono amp
The Mundorfs like the Clarity Cap MRs were mounted to the spruce board that is essentially the chassis mount for the Altmanm Dac . The whole assembly is then mounted to and tensioned to a custom one off Sistrum platform. All the components of the ... 
Capacitors in Cary PH302 phono amp
Just looking in on this thread and felt the need to add my experience to the mix. I have been using Mundorf S/O's within my system in many positions for the last couple of years. Some are deep inside components and hard to reach. One that is very ...

UndertowYes I know their are others that have argued the point against the test methods involved. I did not revisit all 1400 posts I suppose my post had to do with how one's body may react to the nature of the test procedure. We don't react to mus...
