| One big subwoofer or two weaker subwoofers? If one can do the math using the Thiel-Small parameters, it is not hard to figure out if the woofer will work optimally in a sealed or vented design. Having said that, there are quite a few woofers on the market today that are designed as kinda-so... | |
| What power cord would you recommend? Mt10425: Romex carries AC from the AC mains aka "breaker box" to the AC outlets. From there, the AC outlets connect to your power cord. The power cord carries the AC from the outlet to the component. The component will then typically convert the A... | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... Barry: The company that you are involved with isn't one of those i was discussing. On top of that, i'm not going to single out ANYBODY with those specific statements as i'm not THAT dumb in terms of legalities. I'll just present a scenario and let... | |
| Best big screen for under $4000.00 I just checked with my business partner and the model he had was the X-1. Evidently, some people are more susceptable to "video fatigue" than others. For sake of comparison, he normally runs a 36" Sony Wega, but wanted something bigger without dev... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Stehno: Rather than drag this thread further off topic and double posting, can you please look at and respond to my comments / questions in another thread? This post was made as a rebuttal to your previous comments concering me up above. I don't k... | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... The post below was taken from another thread. Rather than respond in that thread and throw it completely off course, i took the liberty of tranfering it here. After all, the main idea being discussed / commented on was basically derived from the t... | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... Zaikesman: Pass knows better and i think that they had a MAJOR problem with quality control. This doesn't speak too highly of them though. What would have happened with the amps that were already out in circulation if nobody had measured / caught ... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Sheesh. Maybe i was wrong about manufacturers "contributing" on these forums. I can see if someone asked questions pertaining to a subject that they are familiar with or their product line, but starting their own thread about products that they ma... | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... Ultraviolet: Each one of the systems that i have is very different yet quite similar to each other. I'll suffice it to say that these systems were all built to their listening environment. That is, i'm not trying to cram 10 lbs of material into a ... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Geoffkait: Different room acoustics will require different speaker placement for optimum results. Having optimized the speakers for the acoustics of the room with the panels and then pulling the panels will change the entire presentation and in-ro... | |
| Best big screen for under $4000.00 My business partner recently purchased a projector. I don't know what make / model it was, but he suffered from much the same effect that Exertfluffer stated above. That is, he was seeing "rainbows", suffered from eye fatigue and got headaches whi... | |
| Speaker Upgrade-Changing parts for Neophites? The more specific the info that you present us with, the more specific we can be on recommendations. Sean> | |
| I finally compared CD to vinyl and... I think that digital and analogue can sound quite similar yet each have their own strengths. Much of what determines what sounds "better" is up to the individual recording.Having said that, it was quite evident to anyone that listened to CD when i... | |
| One big subwoofer or two weaker subwoofers? El: First of all, i'm shooting for the 64" drivers that EV used to make. Who wants those "puny" 30 inch EV's when you can have the "BIG boy" : )The JBL's at Parts Express are designed to be used in a vented system. If i was going to spend that muc... | |
| SACD hybrids bad policy from Sony/Columbia? I would rather have ONE format ( either SACD or DVD-A ) and have all of the recordings fully optimized for that format than to have two different formats with neither of them working nearly as well as they could or offering the recordings that i a... |
