| Speaker Placement Issue/Thoughts Hi Peterayer,Using strong tape to attach the yarn to the floor along the centerline, I measure to the inside front and rear corners of each speaker and get each the same (ie front = front, rear = rear). This works twofold: for both distance and to... | |
| Speaker Placement Issue/Thoughts My apologies -- "Peterayer". I misspelled your username. | |
| Speaker Placement Issue/Thoughts Peternayer, I disagree with your assessment of the yarn measurement approach. I find I can actually get a more accurate measurement that way then with tape measure, laser pointer, etc. Once you have established your center line, the yarn method wo... | |
| Speaker Placement Issue/Thoughts It's unfortunate the room setup seems compromised from the get go. But dialing in your speakers is the absolute first step before you do anything else. Once that is done and if you are still hearing anomalies, then you can address them. Good luck!... | |
| Ais Ophiopogon 3.1 Horchai, by your pictures I see you dissected one. What are your thoughts on using it? I just bought one on auction for $20. Hard to lose at that price. If all it does is control vibrations I'll be happy. | |
| Cassandra Wilson - Another Country Cool. Ill have to take a listen to some samples | |
| Sony playstation 1 The whole point in using the PS1 is it's weird ability to sound good as is, per the Stereophile review and buzz around the net. Not sure why you would use it is a transport only. The transport is very cheap and prone to break. | |
| Speaker Placement Issue/Thoughts The book is an excellent resource for many things. Good luck | |

| California Audio Show 2012 I was actually not impressed at all with the Tannoy room. What I was hearing sounded compressed, extension limited and non-involving. Like they still needed some serious break in. | |
| California Audio Show 2012 MBL room blew me away. For me, best room by a country mile. I had never heard MBL's so a serious treat for me. Never have I heard "stereo" sound so dimensional, real, dynamic and alive. I had read that omni speakers can have a tendency not to imag... | |
| REFERENCE 3A DULCET REVIEW Very nicely written. Honest, thorough, knowledgeable and not the least bit pretentious. Enjoyed reading it. | |
| How many still listen to CD's daily. It's my only source at home. Daily, and many. | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? Have you tried contacting Acoustic Zen for their reco's on amps in your budget? That would be an obvious first step toward finding something that works well with your speakers. |
