...I'm with you @Al M re: challenging rooms and height. I have a long-wall at 23 degrees.
To steer back on track, I have been reading around re: Clarisys. It seems they would not like my room for shape and treatment applications (e.g. I have a lot of room treatments in place) from what I read...
...my ceiling is just a wee bit under 8' and I have shied away from taller speakers. Perhaps I need to recalculate myself. I think I would really need to hear a tall speaker in situ here to be convinced (about this room). While the physical ceiling (drywall) is just under 8' there is almost...
...I am definitely in the minority (table for 1?) to be using my Extreme with the new I/O and USB output. At least that's the plan.
But as Mike Tyson said: everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. In this case, the punch will be a sonic hit, when we get reports on XDMI directly...
...Taiko Honchos: any new info on the MSB version of the XDMI implementation via ProISL? The Lampi status is *very* stimulating, but Solid State guys are wringing our collective hands in anticipation! Even a "no news" to report update is news.
...Luca, for what it's worth, the honchos at Taiko say their research concludes the noise pollution is coming from devices/power/grid origins, and not the WiFi itself. They even ultimately added WiFi to their new router, which surprised me.
Like you, I have a separate ISP for an Uber-VPN, and...
...there are other papers out there that focus on grain boundaries and their orientation axis with relation to resistivity in copper. Most of it seems to be work done with foils/sheets and their application on PCBs and nano-circuitry. Makes sense: that's where the money is.
My interpretation is...
...I have seen a few articles around this topic. Unfortunately, I cannot find the image with various microscopic sections under various "pull speeds," temp, etc. I don't have a dog in this fight (she's on the chair at the moment).
"The effect of grain boundaries on the strength and electrical...
...I would not know how to translate the sound heard in that room to what I might have in my room. I *think* I could approximately interpolate effects from different equipment/cables, etc. but the dynamics of that room would be tough to equate (for me).
But that said, as a demo of what is...
...I like the EVPs from AVRoomservice under the switch, although I spent zero time auditioning footers there. For me, isolation is a best-practice, so I isolate all of my equipment. I even have EVPs under the Daiza platform supporting the Extreme.
...I have used a moving company for one-off items. Never audio gear, but they don't care what they move. I describe the item and they send a person or people as needed. Often, I help the guy myself, depending on weight, awkwardness, etc.
They get paid by the hour, and usually a minimum cost is...
...yeah, I looked at the duplex and it didn't *seem* to have the traditional break-away tab structure. I used a similar duplex for a project with a P&S hard-use outlet, and I had to grind away the delrin/nylon structure to accommodate the #6 cable. I didn't mention the tab, as I thought it might...
...I would expect there to be *no* isolation between outlets on the same duplex. From duplex to duplex, yes. Although bolstered by thicker brass and good space around metal pieces, it is still ultimately a single duplex outlet, made by Hubbell. What pollutes one *plug*, pollutes its adjacent...
...a data-point for the thread: I have two experienced audio friends that each have the Benchmark amps. They brought them together and evaluated the dual model in each respective system. Both gents preferred the single-amp in their respective systems/rooms. Speakers, cabling, power, etc. were...
Three Blind Mice are riding in the back seat of a car, with Takeshi Fujii and Caelin Gabriel driving on a road in Copenhagen. The rear seat also contains a sealed box with a cat, a carving knife and a Shunyata Omega power cable inside. Audiophiles were uncertain whether it was an Omega XC or QR...
...I couldn't tell a difference in the stranded #10 THHN at my place. The #6 copper from the panel had a directionality I went with. ICs were a mixed bag, so I didn't puzzle over them for long. I just never had an interest in fuses, but I'm not against other folks trying them out. I'm pretty...
...oh, I get it. My service feed (220v) is underground and under a poured screed fill too. I have no idea how whatever grain is there is oriented. I think folks were making a case for doing what one could in that regard, whether it was cables, fuses, or in-wall pulls. It doesn't keep me up at...
...I think Rex means grain-orienting the branch wiring for your audio inside the house. We can't DIY the feeds into our homes here (US) either. The utility company connects the riser (installed by an electrician) which leads down the side of the home to your meter. Could be up to your meter too...
...IMO the hardness of plug, fuse, etc. metals and coatings only *practically* comes into play if you are inserting/removing/swapping a lot. How much is a lot? I don't know, but not a hand-full of times, in normal use-cases.
Here is an image of a demo power cable from a well-regarded...
Piltdown man, (Eoanthropus dawsoni), proposed species of extinct hominin (member of the human lineage) whose fossilremains, discovered in England in 1910–12, were later proved to be fraudulent. Piltdown man, whose fossils were sufficiently convincing to generate a scholarly controversy lasting...
...man I have chased those lights all over northern Norway multiple times and never catch them! Great pics! Did catch them once at 35K feet crossing the circle by plane. OK back OT.
