| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. "All I can do is report what I’ve observed to the best of my ability." Then I would say make a YouTube video both ways so one can instantaneously evaluate the difference in real time. Then you can actually demonstrate this phenomenon for all t... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. Again, get them to the same spot/height/tilt/incline/distance/etc. with and without the pavers to see if that's really what's doing it. I'm thinking that few here actually believe that the material differences of the ceramic clay as opposed to... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. "I endured sibilance for a long time. I'm far more familiar with it than I'd prefer to be. It hasn't returned since I removed the pavers. Why would I want to bring the pavers back?" Too see if that was really the cause or was it some nebulous thi... | |
| Do You Have to Play a Component to Warm it Up? My system improves for the first 20-30 minutes. Congestion is diminished and soundstage and imaging improve, | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? "But since human hearing is not flat, a flat response could yield all kinds of lows and highs a particular listener does not want." So if you roll off the highs and your ear is rolling them off further, you take too much away. Natural sound is no... | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? If you think about it, a flat frequency response SHOULD provide the most detail because if you have a dip in the response you loose detail through that area, and if you have a peak, you mask detail in other areas. If you have a flat response to "... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. Anything helps on glass but a heavier weave seems like it would be better. Black matters not for sound but for video reflection from the projector screen. This is our everyday "TV" set. | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. "Well, I’ve tried covering the coffee table’s glass top, slate hearth and glass-fronted fireplace insert with blankets and foam and heard no difference. I hate tipped up or otherwise fatiguing sound so if doing these things made a perceptible diff... | |
| Latest Heil Creation Top insert to reduce turbulance around the top step. Double-sided tape will secure these. | |
| Loud buzz with Marantz receiver preout to amp I am suggesting that perhaps your "RCA cable" does not have long enough positive pins to properly engage the signal through the jack. Are the pins on your cable as long as shown on that jumper? | |
| Loud buzz with Marantz receiver preout to amp OK, it is my recollection that Marantz jumper plugs have an extra long pin to engage the internal connection or such. I had actually considered this, but it seems like you would end up with no sound, rather than a loud hum..., but who knows? Th... | |
| Loud buzz with Marantz receiver preout to amp Sounds like you have no ground connection between the preamp and amp and maybe should be using using that/those ground terminals. Also, some interconnect cables are only grounded on one end, not both, and maybe this is the case here. If you have ... | |
| Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked? If electronics slew rate is a limiting factor, obviously the more sensitive speaker is at an advantage because the equipment doesn't have to slew as many volts to reach the same volume level. Assuming the same electronics (amp), the slew rate is ... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Unless you were to match the 590s and 4367s to the same volume, your test is invalid. I doubt that both speakers have the same sensitivity, so one will be at an obvious disadvantage unless you have the means to match their volumes. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Life is a compromise. Don’t make the mistake of giving up one desireable parameter for another. For example, while electrostatic panels may provide the the desired transient response, you could easily give up soundstage and imaging because sound ... |
