    Sub behind Bookshelves on Speaker Stands

    Thanks. I have it in a great location now sonically but it blocks easy access to my turntable (to walk to the TT, the TT isn't on the floor ;D) and to a cupboard. I'd do a proper setup and measurement to check the sound before moving it there.  I was worried that the stand post would make weird...

    Joke of the day?

    100% It's also a narcissistic selfish attitude of because these Russians helped us in the Struggle, they are heroes forever. Firstly, the US, Europe, UK sanctions ended apartheid, not Cubans on the border. And of course you're right about Israel and even Donald Trump. Yesterday on 702 they...

    How good must a DAC for a sub be?

    Hi All,  I am trying to implement DRC in the digital domain and thought perhaps to have a separate DAC going into the sub. I use a Modi 3 for my mains. What's the minimum I could get away with for the sub bearing in mind its limited application and as some experts said many years ago: "cd is...

    Dealer List

    This is different. I know they have a section but when I am looking for something, I'd like a list of people to contact.

    Dealer List

    I see lots of guys on the forum seeming to be dealers from home and some from businesses. Often they only have their user name visible and then the the "old boys" of the forum will say something like: "Andre has some for sale" with no idea who he is or how to get hold of him. I am proposing a...

    A Few Sub Placement Questions

    Not sure if you read/understood my post. The app I am looking for is simply to turn my phone into an RTA/SPL meter so I can see where in my room I get an even/smooth frequency response from a 20Hz to 150Hz sweep. It is perfect for every room because you are doing the measuring in that room.

    A Few Sub Placement Questions

    Hi All, Anyone used this alternative method to the sub-crawl, i.e, using a meter to do the listening (I tried with a phone on a selfie stick)? https://youtu.be/giG7mQ0QJdM Questions: 1. Is there a free/reasonable (<R100) app that is accurate for RTA and SPL for IOS? 2. Whether you do the real...

    One or two subwoofer cables

    Thanks for the reply. It's a totally analogue system, so it's only the crossover on the sub that I'll set at about 45Hz because that is the spec roll off of my speakers. Thanks again!

    One or two subwoofer cables

    Hi All, I am looking for advice for connecting pre-amp that has two sets of unbalanced outputs and one set of balanced, to an active sub that has an LFE input and a R + L Line in. The pre-amp is connected to a power amp with one set of unbalanced outputs. As said, it has balanced out as well...

    Poor Standard of Home Cinema Demo Rooms

    I have found most stores a let down is a few ways. I've popped in to a few over the last few months wanting to hear a high end system and see where it compared to my modest one but I am yet to be  successful, unless high-end is snake oil. Firstly there's a snobbery. Very rarely are you offered...

    Why did they do that?

    I wasn't even talking about the track numbers. Some didn't even have those at all. I'm just talking about the Side A or B. Always had to search for them.
