| Velodyne Subwoofer Problem? Did you buy this from a local authorized Velodyne dealer? If so they should replace it. A good dealer would come to your house to remove the defective unit and install the new one. If a new unit was not readily available, they might even lend you ... | |
| Hypothetical Question! Your experiment won't damage your equipment, however, I doubt it will reveal much about the cables. First, your listening room would have to be absolutely acoustically symetric. Second, you need to listen in mono. If you use a stereo source the sp... | |
| What is your reference? Tremendous question. I am not trying to reproduce the "absolute sound" in my living room. I like rock, pop, r&b, jazz, blues and a smattering of classical. For the most part it's amplified music and alot of it is artificially created in the re... | |
| Long Live 2 Channel audio......??? Listening in mono is a very severe test for a speaker. Stripped on the majority of spatial information leaves the speaker "naked" and its ability to accurately portray the tonal and rhythmic qualities of music are laid bare. When first introduced ... | |
| I Have PS300 - Do I need Power Cords?? Why would you even consider any power cord but the PS Audio product for your situation? What are the odds that you can randomly mix and match products and optimize sound quality? Considering the operating principal of the PS300, a power cord shoul... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? Be cautious, be very cautious. I love vinyl and find it far superior to any CD player I've experienced (Wadia, Goldmund, Theta, Sonic Frontiers, Sony) in my system. However, vinyl requires dedication and effort from the user. It's nowhere near as ... | |
| Long Live 2 Channel audio......??? Carl, my real argument for multi-channel's future dominance is not due to any sonic superiority, but due to market forces. Today the vast bulk of consumers are not buying 2 channel systems, instead they are buying multi-channel. Like it or not, HT... | |
| Long Live 2 Channel audio......??? Unless you are hearing an outdoor concert, the majority of sound reaching you is reflected. It's in the reproduction of the reflections comprising room sound where multi-channel has the potential to better stereo. Will this potential be realized? ... | |
| Forgive me. You can do one of two things, either educate yourself on the nitty gritty of electronic equipment, or you could avail yourself to a good dealer. I would start with an amp. Find one that truly matches the Genesis, then work upstream. It's not as ha... | |
| Watt/Puppy 6.0 vs Amati Homage vs Andra Anybody else's opinion about the sound of these speakers is completely and absolutely worthless. Only you can tell what can work for you. My suggestion is that you contact each manufacturer and find single city where they all have dealers and phys... | |
| Long Live 2 Channel audio......??? Over the next 5 to 10 years multi-channel will replace stereo as the dominate home sound format. However, stereo will not die out, but not because of a vocal audiophile minority, but due to its continued dominance in car and headphone arena. In mu... | |
| PSB Gold , NHT 3.3, Paradigm 100 V2? Go with the NHT 3.3, or the smaller 2.9 version. The recommendation is not based upon sound quality. Both NHTs are designed to work placed directly up against a wall. The others perform best in a free space setting. I am assuming that a casual lis... | |
| Speaker Front Cover A very legitimate question. Most speakers will sound better with the grills removed, however, some manufacturers specifically voice their products to compensate for grill effects. BTW, if you leave your speakers ungrilled, how often do you clean t... | |
| Will I blow up my tweeters by bi-wiring? No. Bi-wiring will not present any more amp watts to your than a single wiring hookup. Bi-wiring simply separates and isolates the highpass and lowpass circuits of the crossover. | |
| BI-AMPING Bi-amping does have a logical appeal, but if your main concern is with the "sound" of crossovers (both passive and active), then the best solution is to eliminate the crossover. Go to a full range, crossoverless system. The problem with my suggest... |
