| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. As far as I'm concerned, it's small chunks of amber all the way. I sticky-tape them to everything. Just be sure they're nice and clear. Those pesky prehistoric insects have a distinctly deleterious effect on what is otherwise a massive improvem... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados My travels down the byways of 19C pianism have led this afternoon to a couple of concert pieces by Raff. Not going to change the world, but worth a listen... | |
| Am I asking too much? Is it equally in both channels?Does the tube configuration of your amp share a tube between channels, or are they separate/symmetrical? Can you try swopping some over from one side to the other?How old are the tubes? Did they come with the amp? | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Bel Canto. | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. Geoff Kait evidently lives beside the beach. Happy combing for 2019! | |
| The invention of measurements and perception Wasn't it Beethoven's Ninth? That can run to 70 minutes. | |
| Am I asking too much? Yes, first of all is it a hum or a hiss? A low mmmmmm sound or a slightly higher shshshshshsh sound?Try disconnecting (completely) first your turntable, then the phono stage. Does the amp+speakers still hum/hiss. Also disconnect the sub. One at a... | |
| beginner seperate system It all depends. Rogue less so than some others. It varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even from model to model--check out push-pull, ultralinear, SET, etc. | |
| Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k Another enthusiastic endorsement of Salk, heard at the Capital AF. The Song 3 BeAT's were down deeper than they had any right to do, and the Encore model with larger woofer and cabinet went deeper still. In the mids and treble, though, I'd give t... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Is there any way of searching people's posted system profiles for specific components? | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? @newbee Hence my belief that full-scale orchestral recordings are the toughest--and to some extent, impossible--test of systems and the rooms they're installed in. | |
| GIK FreeStand Acoustic Panels and flatscreen I went with the off-white standard covering, which is not as cream-colored as it looks on their website, and blends in with almost everything.Windows: I think you can have drapes made of acoustic material. | |
| Looking for a particular amp Take a hard look at the Coda products. Very well engineered. | |
| Sound and vibration control If you're feeling flush, now try some Isoacoustics Gaia feet. | |
| Well... guess I have to jump in the rabbit hole of speaker cables... lol +1.Where are your speakers pointing? Try orienting them straight ahead, so when you're in the sweet spot you're somewhat off access.Is there a lot of glass in your room?There are a lot of variables here. Best case you can ameliorate for free, le... |
