| Window Treatments to Remove reflected sound Tuning dots, if they work like drum head dampers, reduce vibration and ring. Sort of like when you lightly touch a ringing wine glass. Depending on how softly or firmly you touch the glass, the ringing will be reduced or eliminated.At least that's... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? By burning a cd might add some colourity to the sound.Just my thought.Jeremy (System | Threads | Answers)This is at the core of the RealityCheck CD burner controversy. Burning copies would indeed seem to vary the sound of the original, with the re... | |
| VAC Phi integrated or 1 preamp + 1 amplifier 02-14-06: NewlyI think that the Phi integrated never can reach the level obtained with this comboNewly Then, this thread is concluded? You've decided, apparently.BTW, which combo? | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? I'll bow out, Jpbach, but at some point when you have a minute, please explain why you don't want to consider EQ. I won't be offended. I'd just like to better understand your reasons.FWIW, when I had the same problem as you are hearing, I tried th... | |
| Window Treatments to Remove reflected sound It's hard to tell what the Marigo dots are made of, but for substantially less than $79, I'd suggest experimenting with several sizes of felt chair feet and flat rubber "bumpers" available for about $3.00/sheet at Home Depot and other hardware sto... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? 02-13-06: EldartfordTvad's suggestion for the Audio Control C-101 Equalizer is good if you can get it for anything like $30. Don't forget that you will need to add a calibration microphone to fully utilize the C-101. I'm not sure what kind of mic ... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Fiddler, thanks for confirming what I suspected was the truth.It's clear to me having done a little homework, that George's duplicator at $575 isn't that far off in price from the two other Plextor 716A duplicators I have found for $444 and $349.9... | |
| VAC Phi integrated or 1 preamp + 1 amplifier 02-13-06: Dennis_the_menacei think dynamic peaks also play a role. you may be listening to 100db, but when the orchestra hits a forza, it's not just 100db, it's ++ so much more.I initially was going to go into this, too, but when I'm talking about... | |
| Window Treatments to Remove reflected sound Fabric of any sort is better than anything else. Long, too, like to the floor. | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Oy. | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Jpbach, I've gone down the road you're on. None of the interconnects are going to do what the Audio Control C-101 will do, and a C-101 purchased used on E-Bay will cost you less.The Audio Control C-101 flat out works, and will fit nicely in your s... | |
| VAC Phi integrated or 1 preamp + 1 amplifier Just reporting what's published, Ethannnn...Of course, a speaker's resistance plays a part, too.My limited experience at home with a Bryston 4B SST, Bryston 14B SST and VAC Phi 110/110 and VS VR4 Gen III HSE speakers (89dB/1 watt/1 meter, 6 ohm no... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? An Audio Control C-101 Equalizer will take care of your problem. I owned one when I had some Bryston gear, and it worked great. | |
| VAC Phi integrated or 1 preamp + 1 amplifier The only concern left is, can your speakers can be driven by 110 watts?A friend and I were recently discussing this. My speakers are 89dB/1 watt/1 meter. Every doubling of the wattage adds 3dB to any speaker (from "The Complete Guide to High End A... | |
