Are there guidlines to fix strange room acoustics?
Try the diagonal set up as it tends to neutralize room nodes. However, do not set it up such that the center stage is in a corner. The diagonal should be off axis to a corner.Even though a room can be set up symmetrically this doesn't mean all thi...

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
I think it will work fine with the Prima Luna, but at 600mV you might not get too far around on the volume control. With my Music Reference RM-10 that is 800mV I get to about 11 o'clock before I reach my preferred listening level.

In looking over some things I find myself revisiting Gordon Rankin's Crimson and Cosecant USB DAC designs. Some nice work from one of the pioneers of computer audio.

Andrew, I heard the Laminar streamer in it's infancy about 3 years ago at RMAF. It certainly has some promise, and I thought it sounded good going through a DAC 2004. However, I fear it will be grossly overpriced given the technology used. In fact... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Not all linear power supplies are created equally. B_limo makes a good point as to the LSA not requiring a lot of current, and the LSA has it's own regulation, but any power supply can introduce noise into a system. If this Teradac somehow reduces...

What's wrong with flat? To me that means no artificial emphasis of any frequency. You want emphasis or de-emphasis get an equalizer or something with tone controls. The TADs let you hear exactly what is coming from the source through your associat...

JWM, I actually enjoyed the presentation of the Cessaro's better from the upper listening position. Same with the TAD in our room. Not that the lower level was bad, but after listening to music non-stop for 8 to 10 hours a day it's nice to get a l...

I have worked Concert Fidelity rooms for 4 years now and have heard them with the Kaiser Kowero speakers and some others. In my opinion the TAD CR-1 speakers made for the best pairing with their electronics. This CES was my favorite CF set up.Char... 
Front Ported v. Rear Ported Speakers
Duke has acquired a lot of knowledge over the years that he has judiciously applied to his speaker designs. I find my Jazz Modules offer all the benefits of the Audio Note AN-E speakers I once lusted after without the disadvantages, namely having ...

Charles, nice meeting you and JWM and thanks for the compliment. I appreciate the time you guys spent in both the Concert Fidelity and Highwater Sound rooms.

Best room at The Show was Zesto Audio with the Merrill TT. Having George Merrill there himself didn't hurt either. Found him quite entertaining. Like JWM found the Lampizator room average. That said nothing touched the Highwater Sound room at the ...

preamp Luxman C1000 - how set up gain/volume ?
Okay I will give this a shot. I have a CD player with variable output and a preamp with both a main attenuator and gain trim controls. If I were you I would start by defeating the variable output control in the digital source. I do this on my CD p...
