| Room Treatment experiment There are a number of quick and relatively inexpensive things you can do. First, review the posts on the Room Acoustics forum (sponsored by Rives Audio) over on Audio Asylum. Good stuff there. Then read all/most of the stuff on Ethen Winer's and R... | |
| impressions of the Linbrook Signature???? I have the Linbrook Signature one piece. According to Ty, there is very, very little difference in sound between the one and two piece. They use the same drivers and crossover design. The two piece is rear ported, which may make it just a tad hard... | |
| tyler linbrook signatures vs. b&w 802 Jkalman - For what it's worth, if there's one thing that Ty can do better, it's more sophisticated marketing. ;-) Seriously, he just doesn't think that way at all. And to try and influence a thread like this is totally out of character for him. I'... | |
| tyler linbrook signatures vs. b&w 802 I've demo'd the B&W 802 several times and though it's a very nice speaker, I prefered the Tyler Linbrook Signature System (one piece) which I purchased. I have nothing against B&W, in fact my office system has a pair of B&W 602s and I ... | |
| Kubala-Sosna versus Nirvana SX-Ltd There is actually another level between Fascination and Emotion, the Expression series which I believe is priced between the two. All three make up what they're calling their RevolutionZ Series. They also have two other series below the Fascination. | |
| Mark Knopfler Recommendations Here's a URL from his site that lists all his releases, including the latest compilation.http://www.mark-knopfler-news.co.uk/frameset.html | |
| Source for low cost redbook CDs Many thanks for the excellent recommendations. Even though I use Amazon a lot for woodworking tools and books, I never thought to try them for music as well. Duh. One of my resources to check out new music is our public library system which has a ... | |
| Mark Knopfler Recommendations Mark Knoplfler has been one of my favorite artists for years. I would be certain to have at least Sailing to Philadelphia and Shangri-La. Then, if you don't have them yet, Get Dire Straits' On Every Corner and Brothers in Arms. I use the first one... | |
| Counsel on adding dedicated lines I would add another suggestion, make at least one or more of your dedicated lines a 10 gauge, 30 amp capable line. I have three dedicated lines running to my two channel system, which happens to have a big amp (760W chn) that draws a lot of power.... | |
| $2500 CD player with digital input and volume cont Can't speak to how much better or even if it would sound better with a mod. First place to start would be with a power cord upgrade and some vibration/isolation tweeks. I have both the 303/200 and 303/300 and found a 2-1/2" thick maple block with ... | |
| What room treatment or treatments... George3 - Now that does sound like a tough room. You could do some basic measurements, then build or buy some room treatment and then see what happens. Or, and probably better, contact Rives Audio and see what they can do with a Level 1 consultati... | |
| What room treatment or treatments... Bluemike. Another option for making a panel is as follows: Make a thin wood frame with the dimensions of the frame members being approx. 1 to 1-1/2" wide and 3/4 to 1" thick. I lap jointed the corners, but mitre cuts would work too. Build a frame ... | |
| What room treatment or treatments... Bgrazman - Actually, it's really not all that much. Ethan seems to believe that it's almost impossible to overtrap low bass. Don't know yet if he's right or not, but I'm using this as a learning experience and playing around with different treatme... | |
| $2500 CD player with digital input and volume cont Cary 303/200 has digital in and out and volume control. Plus, it's a very nice player with lots of well-earned reviews. Used around $1500 or a little less. | |
| What room treatment or treatments... I'm using a number of DIY bass traps and absorbers based on a variety of Owens Corning 703/705 rigid fiberglass. I went DIY because I needed something that would exactly fit my needs, plus I wanted something that looked good in the room. I current... |
