| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @wrm57 My rug has a symmetrical pattern which allowed me to position it dead centre to the centre line of my speakers. Now I can match the left and right speaker positions fairly easily. I will never buy a berber carpet again. | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @jeffreyw No such luck. Speakers are on a large rug. Nothing is sliding on it. | |
| Favorite scream in rock? @forestg On a related note, I would have to include Edgar's screams on "You Were My Light" on the first White Trash album. If I must say, one of the most underrated albums ever. | |
| Is it fine to connect a power strip with A/V to one input of the power conditioner? Keep wall warts away from everything else. Isolation is the key. If I could plug my wall warts into one of my neighbours outlets, I would. | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @asvjerry "Where did you find a head restraint that didn't feel like a 3D clamp in 4D space?" I am glad it doesn't work that way. Luckily the tweaking is fine tuning the speakers within the room's acoustic space and isn't reliant on one's head ... | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @rubicon15 Thanks. Rake angle is next. I have also begun measuring my room with Room EQ Wizard and the initial readings seem to be reasonably decent, which was nice to see. | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? @thecarpathian Meters are definitely a selling feature. How much would the sales of McIntosh decline if they ditched the meters and black glass. 50%? PS. This may seem like a bit of a dig at McIntosh, but is more a comment on successful market... | |
| Atmos speaker recommendations for a Magneplanar surround set up? So, when you are done you will have a 12.1 system. I have a 2.4 system, so my opinion is worth nothing. | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @ghdprentice "the sound can literally snap into focus." Funny you should mention this. Yesterday I pulled everything apart to put subwoofer and rear speaker cables under my carpet and when I moved my speakers back in place, I put them 6" close... | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @rubicon15 Watching Bob was part of the reason this discussion started. I watched this same video and was wondering how I would implement what he was asking us to do. @thecarpathian Yes, I to use the stick with numbers, but as Maria Muldaur o... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Definitely hard to get a sense of space when everything is squishy. Perhaps try setting only the picture width when you upload it or just make it smaller. Has the look of software trying to cram the picture into the space. | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Roger Daltrey in "Won't Get Fooled Again" Paul McCartney "Monkberry Moon Delight" Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) "Careful With That Axe Eugene" | |
| Lost in transmission how signal loss robs your sound. So, if you don't do all the individual things we do to improve the sound of our systems, the sound won't be as good. | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System @livinon2wheels Why so much hate for UPS? I had one shipment get to me without some sort of problem about 20 years ago. Every one since then has been a fricking disaster. | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? +1 @ghdprentice Knowledge is king (and it's free). |
