| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @captouch Well, speaker placement does play into it to the extent speaker location can emphasize strong nodes even more--but i was initially confused about superimposing all the nodes and wondering where there wasn't one--but then i only paid atte... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @captouch Just to clarify, i have a pink noise generator that helped to confirm the modes and whether or not i was strengthening them with my speakers (eg boomy bass that you've experienced). I moved my speakers around and the basic modes did not... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @captouch My understanding is that the modes are based solely on the dimensions of your room regardless of what kind or placement of speakers--the speakers will only excite the room modes more or less in the locations shown so the graphic shows yo... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @captouch The graphic shows at what frequency modes exist with biggest concerns below 250Hz for bass integration and below 150Hz for where you don't want your speakers or subs or turntable located--but there's another 3D room graphic as i recall t... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @captouch From the pic you sent above w/ the Sonus Faber's (?) it appears to me that you need to play with moving further away from side walls--just a guess--but when you do that your listening position does change-closer to speakers. Have you ... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT @nubiann I'm with the crowd here that says DAC is far more important--clockwise, power supply-wise, galvanic isolation wise--everything-wise. If you use Roon, Roon's own streamer the Nucleus or Nucleus + is excellent. @russbutton +1 | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers @lewm @dogberry According to this it's a "myth" that dust is mostly dead skin https://www.livescience.com/32337-is-house-dust-mostly-dead-skin.html Couldn't read the Canadian dust study w/o a subscription... FWIW | |
| What were your top musical discoveries of 2024? Whisky Myers--discovered in 2023 but saw live at RR in 2024 Blackberry Smoke--they've been around for years but i'd never heard Nathaniel Rateliff (solo)--i'd heard with Nightsweats but he's pretty good solo too | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @captouch I agree with @soix to first work with speaker placement in your new room--i too run Aerial Acoustic speakers (7T) in a room 1' smaller than yours in the long dimension but 2' wider side to side--i do have a nearfield setup which i like ... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers @lewm I don't care if you keep posting on this subject or not--i've actually learned more from you about vinyl matters than most anyone else here except perhaps mijostyn. i was simply echoing your own words where you said "I don't know why I k... | |
| Location of compoments. Incidentally i had a phone consult with Jim Smith and mentioned this to him and he said he was more addressing the scenario where all the equipment was between the speakers--he had no problem with the way i had done it | |
| Location of compoments. @lovehifi22 I haven't read the whole thread so maybe someone else suggested this but i too read Smith's book and relocated my equipment to the side in a bass null, but i kept the amp between the speakers on a very low amp stand to avoid long speak... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers @dwette BTW how did you attach the pic of your TT--i tried to do that in another thread and it was just stripped by AG | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers @dwette I was going to ask for a pic of your TT but you attached one and i can see there's no way for you to fabricate a cover so that's that. Seems like a bit of PITA to have to feather dust and mocrofiber everything but since playing LPs is tac... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers @lewm I don't know why you keep posting on this either--you've covered it soup to nuts and, at this point, you won't change anyone else's mind who disagrees. @dwette Having a custom cover made of acrylic to protect the TT is not expensive--i had ... |
