| matching a pair of speakers to my equipment Avdcreations is right about learning your musical tastes and room dimensions. Still, an excellent speaker with your gear would be a used pair of Vandersteen model 3's. The obstacle will be finding a pair priced at your stated budget. If you can st... | |
| Room Accoustic and Wall Panel? Nothing wrong with that at all. I suggested the other method because I thought you were determined to have 6.5 inches and that would begin to invade your space.You should consider Owens Corning or Johns Manville acoustic fiberglass instead of R19.... | |
| Best Shearing Recordings Since no one has responded to this post, I will try to help. I hoped an expert on Shearing would bail us out.My favorite recordings are all on LP, so I cannot say how many are available as CD. The 1960 LP of "The Swingin's Mutual" was on Blue Note... | |
| Audiophile's New Year Resolutions? My New Year's Resolution is to get my system working again. It should sound wonderful after all the "down" time from construction. | |
| Room Accoustic and Wall Panel? I am not sure I understand your plan, but a simple way to reduce the panels protruding into the space is to remove the wall covering (sheet rock ?) and fill the space between the studs with the acoustic fiberglass. The studs are already 3.5 inches... | |
| Record clamp and mats coexistence What Psychicanimal has stated pretty much coincides with my opinion. I would add that the old Goldman mat on this table with the Michell clam would be a much better combo than what you have. I have zero experience with the DIY / TNT mat. Do an aud... | |
| Strain Guage Cartridge I ran one of the Win cartridges (1977?). It needed a separate power supply to make it work. The performance was startling, a very dynamic and deep presentation with prodigious bass. My problems were channel imbalance and quality control. I owned t... | |
| SLOG now has images David, electrical is all done except for installing the individual switches, outlets and fixtures. The new floor is India multi color slate and turned out beautiful. I have white PVC stubbed out of the new floor where I intend to cut flush and pul... | |
| High Quality Outlets Where to get them?? If you look in your local Yellow Pages under Electrical Suppliers, you can make a few phone calls and find who locally stocks Hubbell. I bought mine here in Dallas at a commercial supply house for $15.50 ea. I simply called, told them I need a who... | |
| Who is going to the CES show? They can't use the intelligent high end people, the general public and much of the CES crowd do not recognize their name. How often do people ask you if you use Bose because it is the best of high end? | |
| New Virus starting to run wild That comment about intelligence made me laugh out loud! I needed that, I've been doing electrical runs all day on my construction project and am worn out. As for Windows, our Dell has Windows ME and my son is not sure if its as stable as Windows 9... | |
| New Virus starting to run wild For what it is worth, Cornfed and I are both Mac people. I love mine even though we own a Dell (Windoze) machine as well. | |
| Who is going to the CES show? CES ends on 9-11, so I guess not. I am flying out on Jan 7th to be there when the show opens the next day.I do know that several important manufacturers are not planning to show. I heard that Audio Research cancelled because the Gold Nugget said n... | |
| Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV I would love to use front projection and get rid of the "box" all together. However, front projection viewing needs to be in total darkness to achieve best results. Impossible in my home due to huge skylights.The DLP Sharp that I viewed for 20 min... | |
| Triphazers - Use them? I just visited Triphazer.com out of curiosity. I was surprised at the appearance and price of this product but cannot say it is not worth the $900.00, having not heard them.I'm looking forward to comments as there are many high end speaker cables ... |
