| distance between speakers At the 2009 THE SHOW the Audiokinesis speakers were from Duke's new Planetarium series. Same with 2008 RMAF. Yes, then in must have been the Planetariums that I heard most recently as I do recall they seemed smaller than your pics of your own Jazz... | |
| distance between speakers Clio09, Nice speakers I think. I've read about them and would like to hear them someday. I've always wanted to do business with Duke.Ditto. His rooms were sounding GREAT at two the two shows I've heard them at. I think the Jazz modules were what w... | |
| distance between speakers I disagree. The OP's question implied that he was attempting to set up his speakers by measuring the placement. Newbee merely said to measure from the drivers.Hmm, you and I understood the OP differently then. I would not make the same assumption ... | |
| distance between speakers Mockturtle - As I said in my post just before yours, and I thought I made clear in the original; the 83% was a suggestion for a general place to start, not a rule. I completely agree with Dave's observations that no two rooms should be treated the... | |
| distance between speakers Every speaker and every room is different. In my 50+ years of audiophilia, I've never had a room that didn't have irregular measurements or opennings that would defeat this extremely naive measurement concept.I appreciate the attempt to help with ... | |
| Just got an iTouch... If I can't hear the difference, I guess my dilemma goes to Mb9061's point - do I run the risk of re-ripping in the future? I'd definitely support Mb9061 in his contention that you'd be mighty disappointed in the future to have to rip an entire lib... | |
| distance between speakers I was reading that "Get Good Sound" book at my friend's place. That book is recommending a general guideline of 83% of the distance of the driver to the listener's ears (should be the same distance for each speaker) as a good place to start for th... | |
| DAC Recommendations Please Assuming your budget is $700 from your choices, I'd also consider MHDT Labs Paradisea+ and Havana. Both are very nice DAC's at their price points and do posses the qualities you mentioned. The Havana would have to be a used buy at $700-800. | |
| Preamp recommendation $2500-$3000 for ref 1000's I drove mine (since sold) with a Modwright LS36.5 and the results were excellent. Could be found used for a bit more than the top of your range, but well worth it IMO. They don't come up that often on the used market though. | |
| PLEASE HELP ASL Hurricane Blew Up? No Jokes Plz A loud explosion would cue me in to a blown cap or something else internal (probably easily replaceable). If it were just the tube that arced you may have also lost a fuse in the process, but given the explosion I'd take the advice above, or wait ... | |
| are all amps equal If you dampen the volume knob with gum, you have then opened up a NEW gate to Audio my friend.... Everything will be more liquid and real.It will double your pleasure, and double your fun! | |
| Oppo Blu-ray ??? But how does the SACD and DVD-A compare in sound quality to my Denon 5910 universal player with the analog audio output?I don't know. Furthermore, anyone's answer to that question would only be speculation, and even then it's really entirely subje... | |
| are all amps equal I've found over the years of going back and forth between full-range speakers and speakers that don't deliver the low end (sub 35hz), that, like Grant, I get more overall enjoyment from speakers that make basement deliveries. I do not lean towards... | |
| Oppo Blu-ray ??? Ok the Video.1.How is the Video on Blue Ray and DVD?I'm guessing Kal cannot comment on the video performance because of his pending review. The BD93 is supposed to be built upon the foundation of the 983H DVD player using the same Anchor Bay chip ... | |
| are all amps equal Yes, Detlof is right about Tvad being right; "No", is the correct answer. Drubin is also right - your friend is wrong.One could have a system which is not very revealing, or poorly chosen, where differences in amps may not be very obvious, or spec... |
