| The Science of Vinyl/Analog Setups Jim raised an interesting point, timing. Fascinating subject, since when anyone figures out what time is you let me know. Kidding. Sort of. Never good taking any of this stuff too seriously. Especially where you got all kinds of stuff like frequen... | |
| Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests Its the nature of the beast. Let's face it, the internet already has everything and more. If you really want to know something all it takes is a search. Even the answer to this question, why is it, is already there. Its not even necessary for me t... | |
| Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform? I remember watching Last of the Mohicans on a really good home theater setup. Early on when they first come upon the cabin at night you see the family inside and you hear Chingachkuk calling out something from a distance. I watched it a couple tim... | |
| Speaker Width? The worst offender in the new photo is the coffee table. Big flat surface so close to the direct sound path is just plain bad.The ear interprets sounds arriving within 4 to 6 milliseconds of each other as being the same source. Sound travels appro... | |
| Adding a Sub do i go with 1 or 2 ? astewart8944 is right about more taking care of modes, but while the research shows greater benefit from more, it also shows greatly decreasing incremental benefit from more than four. So what you want is four. Also they need to be placed asymmetr... | |
| Looking for a 2.1 setup for music and home theater Read the Swarm threads and ditch the idea of a single sub. | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? Right, harley. Because of the physical impossibility of EVER finding the right ONE.Its simply physics. Because bass frequency wavelengths are much greater than any residential listening room then any one sub source will inevitably create lots of l... | |
| Speaker Width? You're getting a lot of good help from everyone already. As you just found even seemingly small moves can make a big improvement, especially when starting from such a low level. A couple more seemingly small ideas that should help a lot- that plas... | |
| The Science of Vinyl/Analog Setups It seems to me that there is too little scientific, objective evidence for why vinyl/analog setups sound the way they do. When I see discussions on tables, cartridges, tonearms and even phono cables, physical attributes are discussed; things like ... | |
| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? My experience with "the law of demising returns" is that its an abstraction at best, with no basis in reality. One simply cannot say that more money buys less incremental improvement, for the simple fact that we all know of components that cost le... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. So I’ll keep this short. I would love for someone to show me the science behind the “burning” in of your cables. Perhaps I don’t have the ear that some of you claim to have with all of your whimsical descriptions of sound however I can’t possibl... | |
| Anyone use a cartridge demagnetizer? Lotta misinformation here. Demagnetizing definitely helps, needs to be done regularly, but especially with a cartridge (MM or MC!) needs to be done carefully. Anyone in doubt is encouraged to do a little reading on magnetization. Very simply, magn... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables johnson0134,You are of course absolutely right. So right in fact that I would think anyone who actually bothers to do what you've done would have to agree. Most of the people who disagree turn out to not have spent much time doing the work to know... | |
| A New? Way to Buy Loudspeakers?? Well that was pretty cool! In no time flat could tell the Polk would be my choice. The Klipsch hype the treble, and the other two are closed in. Plus the Polk is almost as efficient as the Klipsch. | |
| Great multichannel amps do not cut it in stereo marcimzienski,You are absolutely right. One way to be sure you have the right answer is when its proven in spite of whatever you may want to believe. That is how I can be quite certain you are right, and anyone who thinks home theater gear can eve... |
