| Check this out, if you already haven't. If he will accept $50 per month payments, I may be interested. | |
| Is this a scam? I bought a wife like that once. One of these days, she will show up. | |
| custom made speaker stand legtips - rubber or metal - not good vibration If the screw cannot be sufficiently recessed, then perhaps using an adhesive would be the answer. I go round and round with this sort of problem with chairs, but that turns out to be a user problem to begin with. Fortunately, once you the position... | |
| Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum? Cheap power outlets are plentiful out there. From way back when, I change out every outlet in the house with pro grade Leviton outlets. Same with switches. I have even had to change out some breakers because they can become weak with age. Even if... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps PVF, Perfect Vinyl Forever can flatten records for $12 each. They mainly clean records, but also offer this service. Minimum order is 12 records. I them once with impressive results. I did not however send a warped record to be flattened. Using ... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? I guess that I will always like making heavy stuff. The speakers that I have now are 80 lbs. each and 40" tall. Pretty narrow at 11" wide, and 15" deep. So, for their size, they are chunky. Making a set of even heavier speakers out in the shop. Ba... | |
| Di I really need to clean my LP's? OP, The paper/book that you posted is right where to start with a no BS explanation of this topic. If after reading even half of this well written and serious paper, you still don't want or get the reason for the need to care for albums in a sp... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? I'm, not sure what the JBL4343 weighs so instead I will go with the folded bass horn design that I built in high school decades ago. Right at 180 ea. and about 5 feet tall. After a couple of moves they got sold. | |
| Beware poor sounding media Just the other day a Synergy 'Cords' album was delivered to me. Two things. The recording itself was pretty impressive, BUT the album has two warps! Got a replacement on the way. FWIW, the very first time that I bought this album it was on cass... | |
| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. Come to think of it, I encounter the same static when using my vacuum in the shop. The particles passing through the tube are making this happen. A leaking record would be doing the same thing using the vacuum system. | |
| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. This is making me wonder whether electrostatic speakers charge some of the air in the room, causing a static build up. I know that when I tried using an ionizer in my shop, the surrounding area was very full of static. Your thoughts are a... | |
| Best Phono Stage Just to update a bit. A long while back, I did build Pete Millett phono pre that is designed with an LR RIAA equalizing stage. Basically, as far as sound is concerned, I have high regards for it. There is a hum problem that I caused along the way,... | |
| Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done Many years ago, I built a set of corner horns. Then I sold them to a dentist. His son recently told me that when dad was out, he and his brother (speakers weighed 185 pounds each) moved them out to the porch, and yes, played frisbee. Must be a thi... | |
| Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done Well, speed is important. Here is my story. One of the Synergy albums by Larry Fast is called 'Cords'. It is like nothing that I ever heard. In fact, I was only told about the album being a sure bet, and I happened to find a $1 sale on some casset... | |
| Recommendations for Earplugs That Work – Protect But Allow Music In All I can say here is that I had to leave an Elton John concert, because even ear plugs didn't have enough protection. I was really bummed, but there is no way that I would sacrifice my hearing for one event. What was said about going to an audi... |
