| Have you treated your listening space? Another idea is coat your ears and face with foam insulation. | |
| Do you understand your amplifier? "it is impossible to know the sound of an amplifier or any other component in the absolute sense. this statement can be proven mathematically"...huh?...if this can be proved mathematically I'm staying home that day.Having an understanding of the b... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help I sold a pair of Vandersteens many years ago after getting the "cat abused" grills replaced (by Vandersteen). Now THAT was a cat friendly speaker including the little "cat trampoline" on the top. I couldn't take having them ripped up again so I mo... | |
| Do you understand your amplifier? Ignorance is bliss (sometimes). "Rockitman" has a point...why should I waste valuable nap time learning modern amp technology when other well trained geniuses are working on these things for me? I'm a musician...I need to practice. Read enough rev... | |
| Have you treated your listening space? Damn...anechoic it is! Also, I tried to speak to Jeff Hedback once and his voice was so muffled with so little siblance or bass impact I couldn't understand a thing. | |
| Have you treated your listening space? Treatment schmeatment. El redundo amundo. Case by case I say, and I think bass traps should look like faux marble Roman columns...right? And it's "anachoic" not "anecolic" which actually (if spelled correctly) is the art of soundproofing a grumpy ... | |
| What is Warmth? My opinions provide me with warmth. | |

| What is Warmth? Well designed solid state gear can indeed have "warmth", and often more accuracy...If something is on a recording I don't want it masked by euphonic distortion or anything else. I've heard amazing low powered "SE" tube amps that sound amazingly ac... | |
| Have you treated your listening space? In the 70's I covered a small basement room with mattresses so my band could rehearse without bothering neighbors. It worked very well, so duct taping doll house mattresses to my head just seems like an obvious sound absorbtion solution. That bad ... | |
| What is Warmth? Some violins are warmer than others, and some violinists have sweeter technique. | |
| Have you treated your listening space? Headphones...get some headphones...wait...what about "head treatment"? I found that taping sponges and doll house mattresses to my head makes headphones sound better. | |
| Have you treated your listening space? Geoffkait...I assume you're joking. | |
| Have you treated your listening space? I've treated rooms I've used for home recording studios for years, and worked in pro studios ad nauseum. That said, I'm firmly in the "no treatment needed in the hifi room" group...I like the ambient sound of a "living space" room, and find all I ... | |
| Power On First/Off Last Device? I use an Adcom ACE 515 I bought new that refuses to die...and works prefectly. Also, back in the late 70s my band was filling in an "off night" for a band that allowed our keyboard player to use their gigantic tri-amped rig...with specific instruc... |
