| Who puts their speakers right up against the back wall and why? I would like to know how many of us follow the "rule of thirds"? As I'm sure you already know the speakers "should be" a third of the way into the room as well as listening position a third from back wall. This is untenable in my music room as it... | |
| There's gold in them frequencies! @millercarbon " idiomatically" <== made my day, freakin' kills me ROTFLMAO............. | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? Meant to say: "Turn the room upside down and fill it with water, then find the leaks". | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? I happen to be friendly with Scott Hull, the owner of Masterdisk, grammy winner, chief mastering engineer. At some point he will be coming to myhouse for final tweaking (and then I'll tweak it to where I like it). I have listened to some master t... | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? Terry, My understanding is that a double layer of 5/8" drywall with Green Glue in between does not vibrate at all. That's not to say that Quietrock is not better, probably is, but I do have a budget. As I have said I will be looking into both. ... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? My remedy for hearing a crappy recording in high def is to put the Andrew Sisters on the Victrola (yes, original 1917) and listen to "Take the A Train".When that's finished I put Manhattan Transfer "Take the A Train" on the main rig and it never f... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @roberjerman I too have been to Sound by Singer several times in that same time-frame. First time saw the man himself, Andy Singer, and he let me wander a tiny bit, then asked what I was going to buy. I replied that I don't see any system playi... | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? Thanks to all for the discussion/ideas of soundproofing, regards to chorus who I hope doesn't think I meant to hijack his thread.@tomic601 Totally agree with you that I'm looking for the lowest "noise floor" I can achieve in my music room, althoug... | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? chorus, sounds like you have the bases covered in your project.I too have an exterior wall down to the studs that will be going back together in pretty short order, just need some electrical work, lighting etc. Covid has slowed the process.I will... | |
| Cable comparison charts? " Worst idea ever, buying cables off a spreadsheet. So of course everyone is taking it seriously.* Why am I so not surprised?"Just when I thought that you were *beginning* to acquire some social grace....then BAM.Does this have something to do wi... | |
| Manufacturers with Excellent customer service Bryston has been great. Have never had a problem, but many questions and all answered quickly. | |
| Tin Foil Hat Audio Equality is a wonderful quality. As far as I know it is strictly a math concept. Therefore, there can be no equality outside of math, read that as "everything makes a difference". So, to be redundant, anything I change in my system makes a diffe... | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. @noromance " As it is, we get minimal benefits for our taxes."Considering how many countries would love to take the US down...I would say your tax benefit is far greater than minimal. Thank you.Now back to our regularly scheduled cable melt-do... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? The costliest part of this audio journey for me is my inability to sell gear.I sure I'm not the only one afflicted with this disease. The upside is that I find Easter Eggs when I'm hunting for something in the house that is unrelated. Recently fo... | |
| Cheap/expensive or expensive/cheap? If you put a mink coat on a pig....you still have a pig.If you put a pig skin coat on Marilyn Monroe....you still have a beautiful woman. |
