| Can you get good quality sound on the short wall axis of a room?? My speakers are on the short wall. There is no other alternative. They are about 7 feet apart and I am about 12 feet away. With a lot of testing and moving a half foot here and a half foot there I've got them sounding pretty good. They do sound a ... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Not the last concert I've seen, but I mentioned The Struts above. Had so much fun in October that I'm going to see them again in May in Charlotte which is close by, in a small venue (1200 people) and then drive down to Charleston, SC to see them a... | |
| Whats the deal? I said this in another thread once and I still think it is true and someone should make it happen:Some of these fine high end cables and power cords are beautifully made and beautiful to look at (including some that I own) regardless of what you t... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? When I was in the USAF during residency we had a primitive 'email' system but anything you wrote could be seen by everyone in the hospital. All of us residents were very close and all got along quite well but we liked to give each other a hard tim... | |
| Best CDs I think we also need to know which CDs the OP finds to be awful. For instance, Achtung Baby just sounds terrible on my system. I don't think it is necessarily a flaw in the CD. I think it was produced that way on purpose to sound like techno-pop d... | |
| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. @irish_tim : Your mention of Eminence Front reminded me that Pete Townshend's album White City is extremely well produced. The song "Hiding Out" is a great one for exercising your system. | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? There are quite a few here (earth) who tend to make absolute statements. "Brand X sux" or "it is stupid to do it that way". Sometimes these are knowledgeable people. But I think they respond this way to make themselves feel good or seem more knowl... | |
| Best CDs I generally not pursue rare or special CDs. Not that I wouldn’t but just haven’t needed to.I start at the dr.loudness-war web site:http://dr.loudness-war.info/This is a database of all types of media that gives dynamic range measurements by track,... | |
| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. Two Against Nature - Steely Dan | |
| Where to Purchase New Tubes for Audio Research Preamp? Stupid question. I have an AR LS-16. I'm sure it has the original tubes in it. What will I hear that suggests there is a problem with them? They look fine as do all the caps. | |
| Your favorite male soul voices Listening to Traffic now so another vote for Steve Winwood.....from the time he was 16 years old!But when I consider all of these I keep coming back to Sam Cooke. There is so much depth, richness, smoothness and ease. And I think one of his best i... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Traffic- Low Spark.....John Barleycorn next. Both on CD. Both well produced. | |
| what replaced your Aerial 7B speakers? Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense.I have not done that of course. But, this is a 90 year old house that we renovated about 8 years ago.Most of the wiring was original but was the old two prong type outlets. So when they added extra 3 prong o... | |
| Quiet Enjoyment: right of audiophiles neighbors to NOT be annoyed @elizabeth :"involved in running disputes with neighbors... who get shot for refusing to stop playing loud music"I hesitate to share this because it was never as bad as it seems in the telling......and in the end was rather comical.....But, when I... |
