| HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music HmmmmmFrnlambYou make a good point -- no sense in a high end ish woofer with cheap, lousy satellites.Reading the reviews on the web, it seems Infinity has had some detractors for an overly bright high end.....Ideally, I would go and LISTEN to the ... | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? HermanExcellent post!TvadAt the risk of oversimplifying things here:If ONE speaker has + and - (it's polarity) reversed, then the system will be "out of phase".And no offense , but no self respecting audiophile should need a test disc to hear this... | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? Tvad and othersDidnt know it was called "absolute phase" - this is what was recommended on the first edition Dave Grusin vinyl.So I guess the answer is like biwiring: it depends?! | |
| Long Wall Speaker Placement: Pros and Cons? Unsound and othersI finally got everything moved to the long wall yesterday.Good news -- even before dialing the panels into tweaked position, I can tell it is going to sound just fine and probably even better. This is a real news flash for me aft... | |
| HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music Ah....Lord of the Rings. Have not seen it or listened to the "dynamic score".But funny coincidence. Sorry to drop a name, but I have just returned from a dinner where I sat across the table from Howard Shore. I was not familiar with his work on Lo... | |
| Long Wall Speaker Placement: Pros and Cons? Mikesinger and othersI need to read the audio physic text again on placement.It all seems very interesting, but would you say it is not appropriate for dipoles? | |

| HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music chadnliz, I am sure you have heard that high end wags call Sound and Vision "Deaf and Blind"?Once in a while, I take a quick peek at Sensible Sound on the newstand. As it is not glossy, and tweaky and enthusiastic in its tone, I tend to trust thei... | |
| Best sounding SACD disc? So this thread is digressing into "audiophile delusions"? | |
| Anybody into Ben Harper? If you like home theatre and Ben Harper, rush right out and buy LAIRD on DVD.Ben Harper's "Faded" is cranked in one of the opening scenes of giant wave surfing.I have watched this at least 20 times and it is still jaw droppingly amazing.I think th... | |
| iTunes idiot needs some help It seems the expertise on this subject has increased, because I had posted a few of the threads in the archive on iPods and WAV files. Before, there were seemingly unsolvable problems with all of these formats, so I now have 2 iPods collecting dus... | |
| You might be an audiophile if... Boa2 is the winner so far!!!!!!(I thought I was nuts!?) | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners re "hit and miss trial and error"psychological research suggests that variable rewards are much more compelling than a steady predictable payoffapparently, this explains why gambling is such a vicious addiction and why people stay in abusive relat... | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners Patrick aka LugnutApologies if my post was indirectly, unintentionally damning of some of your tastes and preferences, but no need to be defensive. I was just trying to answer Theo's question honestly from my experience with an LP12.And I am by no... | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners I have not used a turntable in years, but I once had an LP12 for 2 or 3 years. I never liked it, I never enjoyed using it and I was happy when I sold it.Perhaps it was never set up correctly in the first place, but the very tweakiness of its set u... |
