| Speaker Cable Malarkey (“Ghost” Cables) Interesting. Would there still be an effect if the wire was disconnected at both ends? Would the effect be different? | |
| Speaker Cables and Carpet I added a second run of 12 gauge to the mids which is effectively like a 9 gauge cable. That seemed to do the trick in getting my midbass back! The highs are still a little rolled off but I’m going to hold off on doing anything. I’m sort of apprec... | |
| Threat of fire from audio equipment I always keep a fire extinguisher nearby. I recommend everyone keep a fire extinguisher near their audio system. | |
| Group delay in subwoofers @bdp24 Can you tell us more about the continuously-variable phase control. I researched a DIY phase control solution (not just a 180 switch) awhile back and couldn’t find anything on it. I actually convinced myself that the continuously-variable d... | |
| SONIC CRAFT ??? IS THERE REALLY A SONIC CRAFT STORE ??? If I’m not mistaken, Sonic Craft will sometimes shut down when the guy goes on vacation or whatever, or am I thinking of VH Audio? I remember seeing text on the website about that once. Do you see that text right now? | |

| Speaker Cables and Carpet Not easily. It would involve ripping apart drywall or flooring, but it’s an option if I need to call for desperate measures. | |
| Speaker Cables and Carpet Thanks for your help, elizabeth! | |
| Speaker Cables and Carpet @kalali Good advice! There is another variable that has changed. The speaker cables have become longer. I need to verify the source of the problem before making changes. | |
| Speaker Cables and Carpet Correct, the cables are under a layer of carpet. I’m pretty sure cable risers would help a lot, but then I would lose the clean look I’m going for. Are there other solutions than cable riser? Or is there a way to incorporate cable risers and keep ... | |
| Speaker Cables and Carpet I’m out of chicken feet! Doubly so for magic ones. | |
