| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? This is going to be uncomfortable. Starting at your feet, wrap the Corning insulation round and round your body, slowly working your way up. It's best to lay down for this procedure, and don't forget to wear a mask. Also, it is very important to s... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement I am also glad to see this conversation move along as people experience the benefits that this unit has to offer. The beauty of this unit, as has been stated above is the fact that you are the one in control. There IS no set position for the knob... | |
| Have you had this experience in a shop? Very good, both. | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? The worst mistake were the second set of speakers that I ever owned. I was in high school so that is my excuse. It led me to really research my buying habits, and consequently the next speakers I made myself. They were some of the best (in the bas... | |
| Roll of subs in soundstage? I am so glad to hear this. As it turns out, I have had a somewhat similar setup as yours (that being an SMS-1, controlling a GR research servo sub). Yes, it was the soundstage, but more as well. I realize that the sub is relieving the main amp and... | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits I am sure that I would be eager to assemble multiple systems for my likes. I have always wondered if one such 'system' would involve a TT, run to a balanced headphone amp, run to a balanced set of headphones. There, as balanced as possible. Sinc... | |
| Main Audiogon site barely works? Unfortunately, I have 3 ads that are going to waste because of this. | |
| Tin Foil Hat Audio Ah, yes, statistics. Aren't they great for driving home ones point of view? Even with the best of intent, the stats aren't being presented in a way that actually spots the good or bad. Even during these times with 'the virus', I read opinions, sta... | |
| Tin Foil Hat Audio I remember from years past reading an article written by a reviewer who, by some chance had small group of musicians over at his place. They were from Jamaica, and he figured that they might be impressed at how good his system would reproduce th... | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend Way back when, I made a similar rack, but with less of a good result as you. No doubt, these are heavy, but permanent pieces. I strongly prefer the look of the pipe with a good finish like what you used, in place of threaded rod, which looks like,... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? More than a few to name, but the one that really sticks is when I burned up a set of drivers that cost $600 ea. They were new for um, maybe a couple days before I got the idea to add a tube buffer that I had worked on, but did NOT test! You can't ... | |
| Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers? This just reminded me that when I was a kid, a new set of speakers was put to the test by playng Edgar Winter's >> Frankenstein. After all, it did cover a large part of the frequency spectrum, right? | |
| Hubbell 5362 Backwire vs Sidewire I agree with jea48, and I will add something about solid wire that I do. First, if you are not going to use this idea, that's fine but don't forget to slightly retighten the screws, since the copper wire will compress ever so slightly when screw p... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? Wow, I thought that it was just me. I never really forgot about an experience in Phoenix, Az where a buddy and I visited a High end retailer or two. The visit that I remember most was at a place called Jerry's. We walked in with cash to spare. Wan... | |
| Your first “high end” system Back in '83 I was fortunate to find a whole system for sale with a $5K price tag (original price was $10K). JBL 4343 speakers, a rack full of SAE including parametric EQ, tuner, 2 amps and an electronic crossover. Setting atop all this was Technic... |
