| Considering the Electrocompaniet AW400s... My brother,who is disabled owns a pair.I have listened to them only for a couple of hours. I have also read some reviews in the Norwegian magazine "Fidelity" . How should I sum this up? To me, the sound has evolved in a direction of a more pleasin... | |
| Dac with rythmical drive to the music? For some reason , today I changed the mains polarity for the external power supply driving the digital partion of the dac, and indeed there is an improvment to the sound.More transparency!Even more engaging to listen now. Tried the same trick with... | |
| Spikes versus Rubber on wood floor? Hopefully, we will someday see more of scientific research about hi-fi matters. As it is , many people seem to be in a dark zone, where they are prone to fall for Wodo , because they hope to obtain something positve,but they wouldn´t .Vibration co... | |
| Spikes versus Rubber on wood floor? If you want the speakers to stand as still as possible while playing, spikes are the least likely item to do the job! Quite the contrary to many peoples belief, they act as a "tuning fork" and excite floor resonances. These floor resonances will b... | |
| Dac with rythmical drive to the music? Thanks,There are a lot of Dacs to choose from. The reason that I don´t want to spend more, is that I still hope for a better digital audio system to turn up. Data storage prices going down support this hope of mine.And prices of decent audio gear ... | |
| Lower ceiling = shorter speaker stands? If the postion of your ears are "in line" with the tweeters of the speakers, there is no need to change anyting,I think. Reflections from the floor and ceiling are mostly unwanted, and as the reflections from the floor are easier to damp (but not ... | |
| BI-AMP OR NOT? One may say that you add complexity to your system , if biamping it. But as long as you know what you are doing e.g.with the speakers crossover, the end result may well be worth it, even if there is an amount of unpredictability. My own experience... | |
| DIY Shelves Drilling holes of different sizes in a shelf will definitely alter it´s sonic properties. I intend to use different materials layered and randomly placed holes drilled in each layer. May fill some cavities with sand and leave others empty. | |
| I'm frustrated with people who don't ... Well, there are often some misconceptions within the audio society as well,e.g. cables are the most important items, speakers must always be used with spikes, to name a few.We usally don´t perceive the world as it is, but as we believe it is.That´... |
