Insearchofprat, that sounds like a good practical way to systematically adjust my current speakers location withing the restricted location parameters I’ve got to deal with. I’m not sure all of my new components are broken in thoroughly. The Magicos require 400, maybe 450 hours to be thoroughly broken in. I’ve had them installed since last Spring but haven’t kept track of the hours. My Marantz Ruby CD player is practically fresh out of the box so tha’ts certainly not. Maybe I’ll have to go back six months from now maybe and readjust positioning if break-in time is that important a factor.
Richopp, sounds like we have some similar interests. I’m breaking ground on a woodworking shop at home soon as it warms up a bit. I’ve a garage full of vintage U.S. manufactured wood working machines acquired over the past couple of years or so, I’ll be putting out there. I designed and finished installing the built-in cabinetry for my current audio system not long ago. Audiogon and OWWM (Old Woodworking Machines) are my favorite sites online.
Vinylvalet, I’ll see if our local library is able to get a copy of the "Get Better Sound" book to look through. That’s quite interesting you were able to meet the author and listen to his system. What impressed you most about the sound you heard in his music room? And If you don’t mind providing a preview, what are some of his techniques, or general approach, that enabled him to achieve the impressive results you heard with a modest system? And thanks for the link.
