| RIP oregonpapa Awe man, regret his passing here. I believe we'll all miss his contribution to this forum in his spirit, knowledge and demeanor. | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? Certainly it makes for better sound staging and imaging. ...however, there are varying degrees of what the industry describes, for example, as "time alignment" out there. It can sometimes strike me as more of just a marketing thing...as though ei... | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? There seem to be 2 different levels of system building. The first is the "simplest" kind (not being dismissive). It consists of merrily going along and attempting to "cobble together" some perhaps disparate pieces into a functioning whole that res... | |
| Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels I think I saw where they spec'd, for "steel studs", 1 per 8" on stud and every 12" "in the field" (...!) How's that for affordability. | |
| Just what percentage of digital artifacts removed I’m not sure that the "digital" sound these days that people have said they object to is necessarily due to purely digital shortcomings. I think the Nyquist theorem, et al, has proven itself at least fairly well since the CD player’s inception. I ... | |
| A full range speaker? @mijosytn, Yes, the fs is 18.4 Hz. Acoustic Elegance is something of a ’Rolls Royce" brand of woofers for many different apps actually (sealed, IB, OB, etc) b/c John, up there in Michigan, takes the time to personally tune the design of each woofe... | |
| Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels Huh. Looks at best like it remains to be seen. Nobody has any hard info yet on what proper installation would actually look like.Maybe resilient channel might turn out to be more effective sound-wise anyway. Will have to wait and see. | |
| Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels Very interesting, thanks for the heads up! Looks as though it hasn’t entered the market just yet, but I wouldn’t think that would be too far off. Boy, could I use something like this, otherwise I’d have to think about plywood paneling...the cost o... | |
| A full range speaker? I’m getting around the ’crappy sounding sub’ problem by going infinite baffle bass (a pair of Acoustic Elegance HTIB 18" woofers) in a somewhat custom built room, the construction of which is on hold due to building prices for now. But, I’m really... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/burl-b2-bomber-dac-review-holy-sh-this-is-good.9575/ (This link works better). This is from a headphone site, but includes discussion of sound quality | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Apologies to everyone right off the bat here - I do Not want to hijack this thread, but there are some details that will be important should anyone consider buying this DAC that should be known, so I apologize in advance for the lengthy infomercia... | |
| A full range speaker? A couple things about room treatments in general: it may look at first like it’s just a matter of picking out what you might think you might need from a vast forest of treatment products that are out there, pro or DIY. The one big problem with any... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Ha, sorry if you have no frame of reference, I decided to give mine so you'd know what mine was. Last time I checked, this forum was open to everybody... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? I have about $10k’s worth of components in my system. After getting everything else up and running on the performance levels I was looking for, I turned to the last piece of the puzzle, the DAC. I’d been rather happy with an EVS-modified Oppo 103 ... | |
| A full range speaker? Agree with @douglas_schroeder that listening to a system with strong output down through 15 Hz is a completely different listening animal than most people would suppose. Whoever said that there's just not that much musical info below 40 Hz was ab... |
