| Who is Roon? @mapman "Luckily Musk is OUR oligarch having immigrated from South Africa. Lucky us!" Why would you assume that an expatriate oligarch, or any oligarch for that matter, has any national loyalties at all? Perhaps if money and power were a count... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. This reminds me of modern political campaigning. 90% of your campaign is spent telling the world what an idiot the guy you're running against is and 10% is used to tell the people what you are offering as an alternative. | |
| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? Just my two cents, but it seems that EQ won't fix your problem. EQ would be more for tweaking the sound of a system that is close to your ideal, whereas higher sensitivity speakers should function better at lower dB levels. I have 85dB speakers (A... | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? I do not profess to know the intricacies of US customs costs, but if the shipper charged you $1,200 for something that was "not as described", I would not trust him to do what's right for you. | |
| Anyone else ever deal with Tidal "support"? Windows 7? Bob. Just because you explained your situation to Tidal support, doesn't excuse you from creating your own problems. Just because you live in the past, don't expect the rest of the world to help you exist there. Support for Windows 7... | |
| Subwoofer connection @gkelly is correct, in that a subwoofer with speaker level connections would be the way to go. However, because vintage receivers do not work with banana or spade speaker connectors, speaker level sub woofer connection is not a straightforward pr... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS I guess if you don't want to do the work and actually analyze what you are hearing or you're a novice that hasn't been into audio for very long, then measurements can be attractive. Armed with your measurements you can go online and act like you a... | |
| Is Subwoofer Elevation a Viable Option? @atmasphere How would furniture be "acoustically transparent" to low frequencies? Furniture is always included as a way of mitigating bass frequencies and serves the same purpose as a bass trap. When I built my acoustic panels, they required ... | |
| Is Subwoofer Elevation a Viable Option? @artemus_5 Yes, the REL's feet are the proper height, but the sub wouldn't be floating or have a hole under it. It would be on a table, plinth or pedestal so it would still radiate the same way. Just not at floor height. | |
| Is Subwoofer Elevation a Viable Option? @clio09 REL is all aboard with their line arrays. Unfortunately my REL's have a bottom loaded radiator. Although, maybe the radiator would function the same for the most part? | |
| Is Subwoofer Elevation a Viable Option? @soix So, why do we even want the bass to be "reinforced"? If the low frequencies aren't reinforced in a uniform way, that might be of some benefit, but I very much doubt that's the case. Even if it does, why not just increase the loudness inst... | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @thecarpathian My iPad survived, but now I can't see it. | |
| 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. |
