| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? I think $.20 per kilowatt hour is not so bad. I think us audio people should be more sympathetic and not leave our equipment on all the time. I turn on all my tubes about an hour before and they run for about 4 to 5 hours and then they go to sle... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @mapman Outstanding comment above. I have an AV processor and I use that for DSP that seemed helpful for all the various speakers. For two channel listening I have roon and it’s tougher to use the AV processor to facilitate and measure the roo... | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? fyi, I am paying $.20 per kilowatt hour including distribution, or about $85 a month. This is pseg in New Jersey | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? @tsacremento That's a lot of electricity. I would guess a lot of it relates to the pool. I saw your audio space and my gosh there's a lot going on here. And I bet it's really really quiet in the desert to appreciate everything. I see you also ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @immatthewj When you're famous you have to use aliases. I'm not famous, I'm just another nobody. I think we've all gotten used to leaf blowers and no one cares anymore. I'm in a room right now and all the tested curves look fine and I've done ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @audition__audio Well this is enlightening. My family can complain to me about playing my hi-fi too loud and maybe they have no right to do this. My neighbour plays a leaf blower too loud and it interferes with my phone calls inside my house I h... | |
| My new Borresen X3's It’s definitely eye Candy. We’ll see how long this fad lasts I might be getting new speakers and trying to get back to the more traditional way of listening to things Beyond all the chemically created new fabrications. It’s all about marketing an... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @audition__audio During the fall they make sense otherwise a lot of people would probably be dying from heart attacks. However during the summer when there’s no leaves it makes more sense to use a broom to quickly disperse errant leaf blades. I... | |
| Solid state amp vs tube amps I'm exploring the best of both worlds using an MC 901 mcIntosh amplifier. biamping capability allows mids and tweeters to receive tubes which are better for harmonics in that area and solid state for the bass which requires more power to bring it ... | |
| Power cords: does length matter? If you can discern a difference between a 6 foot and 12 foot power cord you are God's gift to humanity . Although I think a case can be made for good shielding a power cord to reduce electronic interference along its journey from the outlet . Al... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @immatthewj You are so funny. Isn't it clear I love attention as well as learning so much wisdom offered by so many talented people who participate on this forum. | |
| So sad about Netflix sound quality. No one can hear it @njcardave So with all the resulting scattering of waves you noticed improvement in clarity and imaging? a clear before and after benefit? would a few panels do it noticeably or do you really need numerous diffusers as you have done for the full... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers I would buy two puppies instead of one | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? @pinthrift How do you like your Bacch System would be interesting to see how you can figure it. Can it be used within a home theatre set up? I find the whole process a bit overwhelming to deal with. | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? I find Diana krall albums to all be of great quality. Wish others would be this good. Also the artist Her has well recorded music. I wish everything they did in the 70s was done using better recording techniques. A lot of what you listen to in re... |
