Better check with the wife/girlfriend first. (That's the other downside to soundstage). Unless you can do it in a sensible and practical way. The last time I changed my speaker positions I just got a "The speakers look weird there" and then to top it off her parents came over that night and i...

Hi WitBlitz, let us know what you found after moving your setup around. I guess the best way to describe soundstage is that you dont hear the speakers as you see them infront of you. They dissapear and what you hear is the performace infront of you. If you close your eyes you can hear where the...

I agree and had the same experience. Now everything else is just not good anymore..... Something else to play with is "toe in" of your speakers. Some experts say it must point 2 feet behind your head for improved soundstage.

Yip it does become quite a mission if you don't have a dedicated listening room  :'( My ideal listening spot is a very uncomfortable coffee table.

audiomuze posted just before me and explained it a bit better

It sounds like you guys read "Get better sound" I still have to move my kit to the side. The author (Mr. Smith I think) encourages everyone to do that for an improvement with soundstage. If you sit in a perfect triangle from your speakers. In other words the same distance as your distance...

I've mentioned in another thread before that I blew my PS3 out with compressed air and it looked like a sandstorm. You will see the vents if you turn it upside down. (On the slim) My PS3 was quiet after that. A PS3 is actually sold below cost. Watch the show "Secrets of the superbrands"...

Yip, really enjoyed the game!!! Well done guys

WOW!!! BEF you are a legend

How I would love to have a dedicated listening room! I sometimes feel like digging a massive hole in the garden and build a room inside it. Anyway .... I've read many articles to insulate a room but I've never experienced a well insulated room (from the outside). Maybe my neighbor is listening...

I've used Shazam for quite a while now to listen to a section of a song to tell you the song name and artist. Its available on most smartphones and works quite well. It doesn't work so well when I try to sing the song ...... :Whoohoo:

Thanks for the explanation Atjan. 

Hi I've seen some decibel meters, audio spectrum displays etc. as apps on Android devices. Anything audio that you guys can recommend? I know a tablet or a phone is not accurate at all with the built in microphone but its just to play around.

and I need repair on a CD player ..... Please share the information on the "I paid much less than I expected" repairman.

Hi Neil, Pity about your Boxee's optical output. I cant remember if you bought your speakers new but it could be a reason why they sound a bit harsh. There's also a setting on the 540R for Large or Small speakers for the fronts. I'm no expert on this but I think it says in the manual that most...

Yes I'm aware that the tubes are still on with the VA amps plugged in. I'm only using the dust cover when the unit is completely off. Its not that I'm worried that the electronics will stop working when it's dusty inside the amplifier but more the idea that its dusty and dirty. I guess its like...

Hello So last night I cleaned a dirty potentiometer/volume knob on my Cambridge 640A amplifier. The amp was quite dusty inside so I blew it out with some compressed air. Its clean now but obviously I want to keep it clean. Since my Valve Audio arrived I cut out a piece of neoprene mat to place...

+1 for Pink Floyd

For Stereo: Lana Del Ray is pretty good and then Awolnation - Sail is a very powerful track with loads of bass. 

Wanted to sell something now and saw the new 50 posts rule. Oh well, that's the rules then. I'll wait a week and start a cable discussion.  :sh1tstirrer:
