| Whats the deal? I went totally for the Stonehenge look.. Giant speakers towering on each side of the window.. Except I clicked it down a notch by having them in light oak trim and the off white cloth (I guess that is the "esthetics" part. (Magnepan 20.7) With the... | |
| Please Help Me Understrand "Phase" Control Confusion over ’out of phase’ (which is ONE, and one only, speaker out of phase with the other one)... And "Phase" where the signal can be ’as original in real organic space and place" or REVERSED, an oddity of electrical amplification, because ev... | |

I have been starting to think I should do something for the room, at minimum the wall behind the speakers. Being a very large picture window.

| Help with a suggestion for using audio equipment in extremely humid climate conditions Plenty of tubed based preamps can be left on all the time. Then it is more about how often it is used. If every day, it an be left on easily. If once a week, like just eekends, then leaving it on all week would be a mistake. (plus the kind of tube... | |
| What is your approach to system fine tuning with cables and cords ? I guess I do want what I like, not what someone ELSE likes, is the difference. True I do concentrate on a few aspects, making them as perfect as I can.. Many other aspects follow along anyway, particularly a quiet black background. So I really do ... | |
| Quiet Enjoyment: right of audiophiles neighbors to NOT be annoyed For the wood chipper at 7AM.. A one time annoyance is a different animal than if the company moved in across the street and began chipping EVERY MORNING at 7AM.

| Volume level for slightly overpowered amp It is not a problem. First off 125 watts compared to 100 is NOTHING. Now if you had 600 watts... Yeah you really do not want to let some idiot at a drunken party ’crank it up’ all the way if you had a 600 watt amp! As it is you have no problem. Yo... | |
