| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? @aj523The 40.2's are so far away from the side walls that I can't believe that they are much of a problem. Vu of Deja Vu in Wash DC, a major Harbeth dealer, stated to me that they needed a *minimum* of 2 feet from outer edge to side wall, and you... | |

| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings @6119 Several years ago I copied tracks from a variety of CDs on to one CD-R so it would be easier to carry around when auditioning equipment. One of the tracks was the first movement of the Barber violin concerto played by Shaham, exactly the r... | |

| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling If you're using solid core wire for the signal, does it matter whether the neutral is wound clockwise or anticlockwire? I'd assume not. | |
| Which Preamp. We can't tell you.There are really only two factors:its synergy with other components in your systemyour preference/how it sounds to you in your system.Doubtless either would be great; if you want to be sure, you're going to have to find a way of ... | |
| ls this the frequency of vinyl It's well know that those two frequencies are key factors in teleportation. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings Just one other thing: rather than a "gritty sandpapery reverberation" what I hear when there are problems is more of a harsh glare, a kind of steely sound that might otherwise suggest that a component or a speaker is close to its performance envel... | |
| “BLOCK” Function? If you'd started off with "filter function" perhaps things would have gone better.Just bear this in mind too:You can't post photos directly on A'gon.The @name reply function works about 2 times out of 10.etc. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings As others have said, massed violins, especially playing ff, are hard to record, but some engineers and some labels seem to get it right at least some of the time. In my experience early all-digital Deutsche Grammophonen CDs were some of the worst... | |
| Q acoustics harsh high end @jlj No, it's not you, it's them. p3ga uis right. The fundamental truth is that the majority of loudspeaker manufacturers today have shifted to a sonic signature with, basically, a brighter top end or some version of that. These demo well for ... | |

| The psychological factor The situation will be different with resistor ladders and the like, but don't conventional pots (e.g. ALPS) have an optimal sonic operational range, which is usually about mid-way between min and max? |
