| Have you heard of EMOTIVA? Lonnie Vaughn is their in-house engineer, unless things have changed. They manufacture their stuff in China to keep costs down. I got into H/T with them and there's a lot of bang for buck. Do a search on this forum for Emotiva and you'll come up w... | |
| Newbie question - equipment with good resale value I second the bluebook option above. Spend the few bucks for the annual membership. It's an invaluable reference point. | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? Listening to music in a completely dark room seems/feels weird to me. I have never gone to a concert played in total darkness, so hearing music that way seems a bit odd. The few times I've tried it, I just got sleepy :)I like low light and I take ... | |
| KRK ERGO Perhaps that could mean that your room is already well treated and/or acoustically correct? | |
| KRK ERGO You can easily hit the focus/wide button to turn it off and on | |
| Any suggestions on Tube Buffers? Viridian makes an excellent point! that is the primary reason for a 'buffer' - tubed or otherwise. In fact the BBA I alluded to stood for Buffer Booster Amplifier, and was made specifically for impedance compatibility. a common use for this is bet... | |
| Any suggestions on Tube Buffers? I agree with above post. I owned an EE minimax BBA, arguably one of the better buffers out there. Inevitably you will be adding another component to the chain and purposely coloring the signal (or compensate for it, depending on how you want to lo... | |
| Anyone in the Central Ca? Dude, it is ON. go to centralcoastaudioclub - com | |
| Aperion Audio T6 VS NHT Classic Four Both are good and certainly not 'overpriced audiophile speakers'. The NHT gets my vote. Had a pair, briefly. The 10" side firing woofer coupled to essentially the Classic 3 monitor (a fave among reviewers) gave, from memory, a very smooth, non-fat... | |
| Speaker separation versus listening distance?? sorry, meant speaker distance to listening distance. IOW, listening distance is a little further away | |
| Speaker separation versus listening distance?? The Wilson WASP method says between 1:1.1 and 1:1.25 listener distance to speaker distance. Link | |
| KRK ERGO my level matching comment was directed at Bob_reynolds. Regardless, it's puzzling why it measured the way it did. No idea. I did contact them (never got a reply) but when the software glitched out after hitting Cancel during a test (subsequent tes... | |
| Best 3 tube preamps under $18000? Jesus, $18k on anything better sound good. | |
| KRK ERGO The Ergo asks for multiple mic placements after the focus position. It did not ask for specific mic placements -- in fact it specified to get very general with mic placements to emulate real world listening from a global standpoint. Different posi... | |
| KRK ERGO I haven't measured my room -- that would be the hard way. I was hoping the KRK would just do its thing. The room suffers primarily from a lot of reflective surfaces and open area creating slap echo. Addtionally I have vaulted ceilings that go to 1... |
