| Do you play an instrument? Helps in speaker eval? I have a thing for cool sounding recorded drums. There, I said it. Also, have you ever listened to a recording a Respected Reviewer used while reviewing speakers or whatever in $300,000 worth of gear, and hear all the same things on your more mode... | |
| solid core interconnect below 500.00pr.-which one I have tried using actual bungee cords as speaker and interconnect wires, but found that since they are "rubber core", they can't accept plugs and absolutely no sound can pass through them. On the positive side, they are very quiet and useful to k... | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? I bet even the Pope finds humor in those hats. | |
| Do you play an instrument? Helps in speaker eval? I hear differences in cables, etc. in my tweaked and fussed over hifi, and the system is revealing enough to notice gigantic differences among all recordings...I doubt this is from a lifetime of playing music and hearing shows, it's more about lis... | |
| Do you play an instrument? Helps in speaker eval? Too long and maybe off topic response alert: I've been a musician forever and think it's sort of strange that most musicians don't become audio geeks, so in that sense they resemble actual people. Also, sound is a personal perception thing...my ac... | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Business is business...if you think some sort of dealer loyalty or concern about reputation trumps cash, you're living in an imaginary world. If Emotiva can make all or part of Carver amps overseas, any (or most) issues people have with that will ... | |
| solid core interconnect below 500.00pr.-which one My entire system (mostly...my headphone amp has a cool looking old Straightwire IC and my REL has a thick stranded OFC garden hose) has solid core AQ stuff found used here and there. Type 8 speaker, King Cobra and Diamondback single ended and bala... | |
| Speaker cables: $3000 or $380. What do you get?? Jedinite24...the Russell article is cool. My experience with better wire goes back to when I first saw Monster cable in a club that allowed an audio geek to wire everything with it. Looked GREAT. It was years later when I noticed my Vandersteen 1B... | |
| Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers Dysons always work better when used with good stands, AC conditioners, and cryoed cables. You want them to really suck. | |
| Recommendations for a "summer" amp? I used to have a high current amp in a sort of closet shelf space and I wired in a small fan to power up with the amp...problem solved. | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? I did have a friend (a former champion surfer) in the 60s who started his own religion in Hawaii...his was based on the Hare Krishna stuff that was going around, and he had to work out a deal with the "regular" Hare Krishna group to not chant in W... | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? Bbro...the "cool hats" suggestion is for the clergy mostly and I recognize that many religions may be hatless and therefore less fun...but I was talking about starting a new religion anyway (and "Regular Church" could be a GREAT name for this). 3 ... | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? If you're in the US you can pay for the entire thing by starting a religion...you only need to hold services once a week (or never), get an interesting hat for events (religions benefit from cool hats), make up whatever you need (religions are gre... | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? Balderdash! Living in an old church can obviously be great and clearly you understand that as you mentioned it's a "challenge." I think people are weirdly concerned with room ambience (I'm a long time musician/live sound tech) and unless you plan ... | |
| Ready to upgrade from the Jolida JD1501 I've found that a sub does more than merely add bass extension (although that is what they do) as a good sub somehow "charges" a room, making the main speakers sound better all around, even with bass shy recordings (mandolin, bird noises, whining ... |
