The cat isn't a terrible offender, but I don't know how to keep him away. I've thought about putting double-sided tape there, cedar oil for the strong smell - I don't know what to do. He goes for the wood/grille corner, not the center front.
It wasn't Kerr being dramatic. No. Body. Wants. Him. He's got a toxic ego that he can't back up, and he's not putting in the work to better his game.
Stereo imaging, or center imaging, is magical the first time you experience it! It happens when you're sitting in the listening chair, and the two speakers are set up in a perfect triangle. When set up properly instrumetns and voices float out in the middle of your room between the two speakers. Sounds can fall deep behind the speakers. human voices just float in the middle of the room as if there's a third center speaker in the room.
The first time I experienced center imaging and instrument separation, I was just blown away. It was a religious experience that I still think about. I can only attribute it to how it felt the first time I experienced a VR headset. It fools your senses in ways that baffle you. It's the thing about owning a stereo that never gets old. I find myself constantly introducing this concept to new vintage equipment owners, and I wish more people would talk about it.
I have my living room speakers up agaist the wall, but onece a month or so, I'll put the cat in the basement, dim the lights, pull the speakers out from the wall a few feet, get a laser point and toe them in perfectly to my listetning chair, measure distances, and sit down for an hour or two and just dig through Tidal or vinyl for songs that have great engineering qualities that produce life-like musical expenices in the living room. A good song on a good system just puts the singer right in front of me. It's like I'm in the recording studio as the song is being recorded.
What's your experenice around center imaging been? I would love to hear. I'm happy to help anyone who wants to set this up for the first time. I think it's something any music lover or audiophile should experience and strive to improve.
I have fallen in love with the Knicks fan base celebrating in the streets and showing up in such huge numbers in San Antonio. Hearing the president is attending tonight I beg of you please, let him hear the roar of New York in The Garden.
Is there anyone in the Twin Cities area that repairs electronics like Breville espresso machines? Pump went out on ours and I’m having trouble finding someone who repairs stuff like this.
