| So What Let's My "Mermans" Sing? This disk will put sounds all around and behind you. The soundstage and imaging are unbelievable, even with your eyes open and there is no sense of speakers in the room! https://youtu.be/KCGqlET-OP4 BTW, the room has no treatment at all and I u... | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass As to the Doors, I would hope that one's system allows them to differentiate the sound of a bass guitar..., https://youtu.be/ptA39Awo0FE and a Rhodes Piano bass..., https://youtu.be/nOJSmXSFCWk It should also be obvious as to whether Ray is pl... | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass Played clarinet from 5th through 12th and keyboards in a garage band in the late 60s early 70s. Had equipment to die for back then (Hammond, Hohner, Vox, Farfisa, Moog and EML synths), but sold it off to pay for college. Another thought on t... | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass Actually, no..., Ray played a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass with his left hand. He never played pedals. In several of their tracks, he is overdubbed by a bass guitar. https://youtu.be/Fiq9VDkGVnI | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! Tell it to the BBC. | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass I think that the "attack" has a lot to do with it. Whereas a bass is "plucked" by hand or played with a pick, a piano is struck with a felt-covered hammer and this presents a completely different "leading edge." | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! LS3/5a's. They are the "reference standard." | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? What would be ideal is if one were to listen at the same level that the engineer was listening at when he downmixed the track. Then one would be subject to the same F-M curve and perceive the bass and treble in a similar context. For some music,... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? On an Lpad, there are two floating wipers, but only one is shown in the schematics. We are using the other and it goes from ~11 to ~36 ohms before it opens completely. The circuit works best above ~18 ohms, hence R2, with ~20 ohms being near opt... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? How good are my crossovers? There are probably no others in the world that function as these do using these components and the parts selection has taken years of tweaking. Caps were mixed for there "particular sound" and multiple values were ... | |
| What is nearfield listening? If your computer has a monitor system, chances are that you are already engaged in nearfield listening whenever you hear something on it. | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? It is fair, I think, to say that our wallets dictate the composition of our systems. | |
| Quality answer to dangers of Tube amps running under no load Solid state amps can also do this. My Sunfire Signature sub is now not working because it powered up without a speaker connected. The amp had been separated from the speaker cabinet. My "Universal Switcher" unit (for use of comparing any two... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Actually, this is a very cool bass track that "stacks" an acoustic bass on an electric bass. https://youtu.be/oG6fayQBm9w | |
| Mixing Crossover Caps..., What Would You Do??? As noted, this is the conjugate cap and is used with a 5.8 mH choke to produce a 245 Hz crossover frequency for the JBL 2241H 18" woofer. |
