Distance from the front not the rear wall?
The obvious solution to the dilemma of "room treatment" is to buy a good set of headphones. 
Distance from the front not the rear wall?
BE FREE FELLOW FREQUENCY FREAKS: It's personal...My speakers are on either side of a "fake" fireplace about a foot and a half from the back wall and 6 inches from the "fireplace" walls..with a powered sub stuck in behind the left speaker. The swee... 
LP care
Well before I bought a Spin Clean I was visiting a friend who was cleaning LPs with a popular vacuum device...it sounded like a jet taking off next to my head and seemed like a messy pain in the butt. I wasn't listening to my LPs much back then (n... 
Power Cables for Class D Amplifiers
Is VooDoo the best name EVER for a high end accessory or what? 
Stupid question
Stereo speakers if hooked up backwards will sound a little weird and the bass will suffer a lot...does it matter? Well...weird is weird, accurate is accurate. 
Anyone tried pro-audio XLR mike cable in system ?
The Audioquest Diamonbacks sound tremendous right out of the box...seller claimed they were unused, they seem to sound great now and if they get better...groovy. High end is clean and not tizzy, soundstage accurate, smooth mids...all good. 
Anyone tried pro-audio XLR mike cable in system ?
I have lots of mic cables (musician) and find that the better ones sound better. That said, I put a brand new pair of 1 meter Mogami Gold (gold neutriks, 2534 neglex) between my preamp and amp and initially thought it sounded better than some more... 
LP care
See? I rest my case. 
Stupid question
Try it. Any one speaker guitar or bass amp...hook it up backwards and it sounds bad. Period.

A Spin Clean works very well, although not expensive enough to be taken seriously by some. It cleans seriously though. I've been rediscovering my collection of "10 years stored" moldy LPs and damn...after some cleaning I find a lot of fun in those... 
Peachtree iDac reliabilty?
Based on these posts I will never buy a Peachtree product. I've come to expect an insane level of reliability from electronic stuff and maybe that's not fair, but it is kind of amazing how so few items have crapped out over several decades of pers... 
Stupid question
Hook up an electric bass cab backwards and see exactly what I mean. I worked with a bass player who did exactly that and the cab sounded pretty crappy until we re-wired it back to the proper polarity..."el sucko wrongo a mundo"...lower output, wei... 
Stupid question
Out of phase speakers do matter...it's all about "suck in or suck out" and if out of phase they "suck in" and that sucks. 
Classic records reissue - very disappointing
Somebody in Brooklyn just opened a new LP pressing plant...NY Times article. 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
I forgot about that demo...damn. I did get my own demo a few weeks ago though when I stopped by Goodwin's for the first time. Heard the Q5s for a bit and they did sound great, and the cool thing was how nice the dude was who showed me around...the...
