Rowuk, I like what you say, although who among us would not? Nevertheless the righteous immediacy of short-term auditions needn’t be dismissed.I can not however join you in your disparagement of what you’re pleased to call “voodoo” treatments. Just b...

But thanks for the accolade.The AC plug polarity situation differs from sonic acoustic polarity, although it *is* treated in my book entitled The Wood Effect. ...

This trick of disconnecting all the grounds works, depending. . . I am not a happy or unhappy, as the case may be, PP owner, but I know this to be the case anyway.Now, is everyone aware that which way the plug is mounted in the socket make a differen...

. . . if you haven't already. In English it's called The Vanished Empire. It's got some LP action in it and other good stuff from the USSR c.1973....

Yes, what was it with those smaller Wilsons? And reviewers seemed to love them. ...
|
|
And Bill Gaw was there to confirm it. So if it wasn't really happening, it must have been a folie à deux. But maybe you should consider some of the odder exterior causes? Moon void-of-course? Mercury in retrograde? Humidity? EMF environmant? Etc....

That's excellent!I once was called to a friend's house to assess the sonic effects of a room DSP he was auditioning. I brought Kwame, my most trusted ears, along. Indeed Jack had a difficult-looking room. So we sat down to listen to some music with t...

A very reasonable explanation -- it's a whole-family room....

. . . because I haven't seen the setup. All in the same room? (No opera room?) Why can't the main system be used? Etc. etc....
|
|
Must add that there is also a "break-in" phenomenon with power cords, as there is with other cables, further contributing to the confusion.Borrowing pre-owned cables from some place may be a good idea, but one doesn't know how long they've been used....

While there is some idiocy reported in this article, the founders are clearly of good heart. Only, no one seems to be listening to classical music.

But before too long, it will seem, you'll miss these days of building a new system and new human beings....

As to the rest, before I remodeled both main floors of my house, changing walls and doors and therefore flow patterns, I sat and gave long, deep thought to social effects and area usages. You appear to be doing this too, so all I have to add is that ...

. . . basements are notoriously subject to high humidity: sweaty walls and floors, water line breaks, sewer backups (the horror). So before you make anything really nice happen down there, insure yourself against these problems. And for winter you'll...

Depending, somewhat, on the town you're moving into, you'll need to pull a construction permit.But whether or not you must, it might be a good idea to hire a licensed engineer to okay the mods. That's what I had to do to create my large room out of t...

I wasn't validating the audio components -- was just saying it's a wonderful room, relaxed, comfortable, good sound (not Macondo) and I would say family- and child-friendly.
In my large Studio room I had chairs placed on the perpendicular bisector...

When I was designing The Listening Studio (a business, of sorts) I had 4000 sq.ft. of floor at my disposal. Only the ceiling was fixed : A slanted oak-beamed roof of 14' to 16' height. After considerable thought I hit upon a solution: I would make th...

Oh go ahead, be my guest! You seem to have a proper handle on the situation. As for "designs that have been known for decades", I know someone who says that there's been nothing new since the RCA Handbook of the mid-Forties (IIRC). Yeah. So now what?...

. . .do make a difference. Here's my view on the problems with power supplies within our audio gear. Textbooks are loaded with design desiderata that have achieved the level of gospel truth. No one really thinks much about their effect on sound, just...

I have a box for pfc that employs a proprietary technology called USES. It's nla for consumers any more, I believe, but I'd be happy to take it over to Romy's for assessment. Listening tests I performed with it twenty years ago produced distinct impr...

This may have been mentioned already. . . if so, it escaped me. But here's the thing: Each component has its own AC chassis leakage characteristic. This can be measured, and lining every component up by the same polarity produces less noise & hum...

That's the title of a manual I was given some twenty years ago, an official publication of some electrical association or other. (I can't locate it at the moment.) Two things however remain indelibly imbedded in my mind. "Pole bangers" are the gu...

Five times (or is it six?) I've heard it live and never has it "come apart", aside from the occasional miscue etc. Although as stated, on this most recent occasion the T'wood Festival Orchestra was not fully up to the ordeal.

...forces numbering 1000 happened only once -- at the premier, where 1039 were reported, including the conductor, Mahler himself.
The title Symphony of a Thousand was given by the promoter of that concert, so they pretty much had to gather the 100...
