| Short? Sorry for tangent but since some here have mentioned a failing cap in the amp being responsible, i'm wondering if a similar issue i'm having is responsible for popcorn popping sound in my REL sub? Only began recently and is occurring while A/C is... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? These threads are always a great source for music you haven't heard although i'd probably err on the side of streaming many before buying a vinyl version. Also obvious is that few here can confine it to three but i'll do my best: 1. Allman Bros-... | |
| AI and the future of music Maybe for movie soundtracks but i don't think it can ever imitate emotions effectively. I liked Joe Walsh's response when asked if he was concerned about AI taking the place of musicians: He said--"not worried at all--it'll never be able to dest... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? @kletter1mann --sounds like our wives are twins--my wife is/was an interior designer and sold very high end Italian contemporary but we collected Asian when we lived in Indonesia and Singapore -- and all our art is contemporary abstract (except my... | |
| Happy Accident @stuartk I was surprised to read in Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" book that he says he has often found that if the distance between speakers (tweeters) is roughly 83% of the distance to listening position that produces the best sound. I guess he... | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? @tsushima1 Good point. It's difficult to tell what was "intended" b/c so many recordings are in the studio and then what was 'intended" is up to the engineer--and if the band/artist doesn't like it then you get later remasters if the artist beco... | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? @kota1 That window of mine behind my speakers has been my biggest worry in the room but i went the other route--electing to absorb the sound b/c i was afraid of the highs being emphasized--never occurred to me to go the diffusion route--how much d... | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? @kota1 I'll check out their site-thanks. Interesting that acoustic lens over the window--is that the squarish thing that seems to be hung over vertical blinds? If so, can't help but wonder if the verticals all by themselves could have acted as ... | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? @kota1 -- thanks for the video--i only watched starting at :49 but it seemed to me the discussion was more pertinent to home theater setup (which you have) rather than 2 channel setup (or 2.1). Can't help but wonder if his "formula" is based on h... | |
| My Impossible hum issue. I upgraded from these a couple years ago but haven't really heard a difference--may be my hearing or may not but these are very low capacitance (essential for phono cables) and in your budget--i think Belden makes them for BJ: | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) @cd318 Thanks for posting that video--very interesting although they didn't really specify what kind of floor they had--looks like a hard surface (painted concrete?) but their method of placing speakers directly on the floor was to put a piece of ... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) @hilde45 I particularly like this thread b/c i also have carpet over concrete and have often wondered about the need for isolation vs. the need to couple the speakers to the concrete via spikes--seeing so many threads advocating isolation and just... | |
| A public service announcement @jdougs That Paua has also been on my radar for several months so i'll hide my computer when the whisky flows. What is it replacing? Do you own any other SS carts presently? Interested in your opinion of the Paua compared to the Hana. | |
| It was 61 years ago today... We didn't have a TV until i was 16--1967, which i think made me appreciate and listen to music--my Dad only played classical which i still love today but in the wilds of Wyoming there were no pop music stations on the radio--only country--we had t... | |
| Speaker of My House…! I'm with @dsnyder0cnn on this--given the disparity in room sizes finding a one size fits all loudspeaker is tricky, not to mention the logistics of moving such a speaker. The Rockport Aviors that i originally recommended weigh 220 lbs each and i'... |
