| Who do you turn to when you have the envies for funk? The Gap Band | |
| Altec N1500A crossover rebuild https://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/crossover.html I found this. | |
| Room treatment with acoustic panels Congratulations. I'd rather have mediocre gear in a well treated room than a million dollar system in a typical living room. When you can hear the timing information on the recording more than the reflections in your room, it's a whole different l... | |
| Acoustic Panel Room Treatments : Built-in vs surface mount question For absorption, in wall treatment can be very effective but won't provide diffusion, which is equally important. The best way to design a new room is to build in angled walls and ceiling. You want to avoid flat, parallel surfaces and make the soun... | |
| What’s your favorite SOUND? Oboe. I'm like a snake being charmed. | |
| Measuring brand new music room Acoustic treatment and room tuning are one of my favorite things. REW is great free software for that purpose. You get all the measurements you need with one sweep. A calibrated microphone can be had for about $100. It's important to compare lef... | |
| Do You Ever Get Glare/Raspy Sound on High Pitched Female Vocal Lines? Another thing to consider is a boost in certain frequencies as a consequence of phase relationships between your speakers and room. If both your room and speakers have a peak in a certain range, the combination of both would produce the splashing ... | |
| Do you start fine tuning the system with cables or tubes ? Tubes make the bigger difference IF your cables reveal them. The wrong cables might obscure them. It's that old synergy thing again. | |
| Low volume (loudness) listening If you put your speakers on wheels, you could move them much closer to you. Maybe a 4ft. triangle during late night. All 3 pairs of my speakers are on wheels.. You might also consider some soundproofing on the bedroom door, allowing you to get a ... | |
| Mono Blocks / why are they not more prevalent? + Wyrded4Sound SX1000R @mitch2 Sharing a transformer would not qualify as dual Mono to me. I was thinking of my Bryston 3B Cubed that has separate transformers for each power supply. It's two separate amplifiers housed in one chassis that only share a power cord. | |
| Mono Blocks / why are they not more prevalent? + Wyrded4Sound SX1000R Dual Mono designs seem to bridge the divide. One power cord, but two separate power supplies and amplifier circuits. Just housed in one chassis. Am I missing something? | |
| NOS tubes Like most military requisitions, they probably just double the price for the same tubes and stamp JAN on them. Nobody really follows up to see if they're more durable than commercial ones. | |
| If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It I don't know much about GR Research but I once listened to him trash my speakers (JBL 4311) claiming the JBL engineers didn't know what they were doing, the crossover caused comb filtering, and other ridiculous assertions. Of course, at the end he... | |
| So…Much…Music! I started streaming around 2011 when it was .mp3 quality but the ability to find so much new music was irresistible. If I liked something enough I would buy it. But with so much new music that became untenable so I would just listen to it as is. I... | |
| On a different note, share the artists you own that DON'T sound good Lots of old Blues albums sound terrible but the music makes up for it. Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson, etc. |
