| Gain level on a REL sub You could be sitting in a null. A larger sub will still have the null. Also, move the sub around. Including into the corner. Try the sub right behind your seat. Small rooms can be problamatic. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Bruce Springsteen. He can't sing and he can't play guitar either. I know, I know everyone loves him. I can't even consider him as a vocalist. Horrible. | |
| Jay's Audio Lab Visits GR Research's Listening Room It seemed to me that Jay was polite but not blown away. The expectation of such a large, grand system could be a tall order (no pun intended). The music selection on the video didn't seem to match the dynamic capability. Not exciting music. If th... | |
| Using non-terminated speaker wire? Bare wire, Straight strand not twisted in a good tight compressed lug. | |
| Did I Expect too much? Companies like PS Audio can give better value for the money spent by selling direct to the customer. They benifit by getting a higher price but the customer also benefits by not paying for the middleman/distributor mark ups. A win/win | |
| Cheap crimp connection vs. Solder Crimps are excellent in the right application. In areas of high vibration or items that need frequent replacement. Auto, aircraft even NASA uses crimps. AC panel also has temperature change and frequent replacement installation. Perfect for press... | |
| A Simple Pleasure: Sharing the joy @mapman Be aware that you must go into 'settings' in the Qobuz app and manually change the setting in order to recieve the higher resolution. Otherwise it will remain at lower MP3 setting. | |
| A Simple Pleasure: Sharing the joy I do a similar thing. I use the Qobuz app available on Samsung smart TV. (plays at 16/44 resolution) Quite good enough. Shows the list of what's playing. Seeing the album on the screen is a bit more involving especially at dinner parties. People ... | |
| How to find local audiophiles I once connected with an audiophile and was kindly invited to his home to hear his system. All very expensive gear but he was playing at such a low level there were no dynamics or bass. Just old vinyl records. Made no sense and it wasn't good list... | |
| Cheap crimp connection vs. Solder Strength isn't required in a home audio speaker. (car audio needs crimps for strength) Straightest, non-restrictive path of least resistance is the goal. In a proper soldered direct connection it does replace/remove the crimp. That's the point ... | |
| Cheap crimp connection vs. Solder Crimp should be a pressure fit copper with straight strands of wire pressed against the metal crimp. No twisting of wire and no solder added. By adding solder it worsened the connection by adding yet another layer. Electric goes from wire, through... | |
| Is this a new trend? I think the speaker on a stand is a more appealing, sleeker look. Most important is it allows for better subwoofer performance rather than having the woofers connected in the same box. The term "bookshelf" speaker isn't really a fitting term fo... | |
| How remove odor from interconnect? Old Spice deodorant. Gets rid of the stank. | |
| ??? SVS "Ultra Evolution Elevation" OR Elac "BS243.4 Carina" Speakers ??? Is this used as a main listening speaker?That SVS speaker shown is a rear surround and is NOT a good choice. This is their bookshelf speaker (highly recommended) | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @soix I saw this quote from Steve... the only DNA amp we've had trouble with is the DNA-1, and ONLY the DNA-1. This is because of age-related problems with the main circuit board, and ONLY that board. |
