| Need Help Designing a Dream Room Ozfly, there are two completely different issues being discussed. Reflection treatment and good building procedures. The two do effect each other, but flimsy construction is not the correct way to control overly dynamic or flashy musical reproduct... | |
| Need Help Designing a Dream Room I do not know the gentleman who you so deeply respect that does home theatre. The person who believes that multiple layers of sheet rock are not good.My advice is not from my own experience, but rather from Russ Burger, the studio designer. Russ d... | |
| Need Help Designing a Dream Room First, I basically agree with your room dimensions except that you might change the length to between 32 and 36 feet, to reduce standing waves in the ultra deep frequencies.Second, put in as many dedicated lines as you can afford. My sound system ... | |
| babys and your components Every child is different, you will have to watch yours and see how he reacts to your equipment and your discipline.By the time my son was walking, I allowed him (holding him up) to turn the volume up and down on the preamp, and control the CD play... | |
| Tube Tester Repair Do you have any idea who manufactured the Lafayette tester? Surely it was contracted to B&K, Hickok, or other large company. Once that is known, there are several reputable people who service those who might tackle the job. | |
| Nuvista M3 Ulrik, I don't know about the Nuvista, but the room you describe is probably no larger than 12 X 14 feet. In that small space, I would use compact speakers such as Harbeth. They work well in tight quarters and have wonderful musicality and tonal r... | |
| Stated as Thanks Kelly. I will borrow some "Goof Off" to remove the evidence. I hate it when it's obvious to my guests that the turntable has been compromised for the sake of cold cash. | |
| Stated as Jimbo. With that particular model turntable, a dime won't work, you must use a quarter. No.......... the expense never stops, once you step into this level of high end audio.By the way, does anyone have any tricks for removing the Scotch tape resi... | |
| Stated as If you guys were to look at this as only $25.00 per track for the 8 track, the amp and turntable are FREE !I am scrambling to bid on this for my Soundlab Ultimates. Just need to clear with the factory that this "ultimate" rig won't overdrive my sp... | |
| Quadraphonic Pressings Quadraphonic pressings contain specially encoded information intended for multi channel playback.These are inferior to traditional stereo pressings because the grooves contain out of phase information that is in conflict with two channel playback.... | |
| hopeless LP's My experiences are the same as Najo. I have a 20K turntable rig and I frequently buy LP's at used book stores for as little as .50 cents. I rarely have to resort to the trash can, even though I am a picky listener.With correct cleaning, then caref... | |
| direct drive tt's? I agree with everything Jimbo3 has posted, it is exactly the same advise I would give. Other than that, I recommend you look for a used Well Tempered turntable and arm when you upgrade. | |
| EARS versus SACD. Anything is possible within a diverse group of audiophiles. Some posters systems are extremely revealing and some are not. When you consider the above, and factor in the vast differences among red book CD players (not even considering the variatio... | |
| What tube amp for watt/puppy V.1's The routes you are considering are both viable and will provide the additional headroom necessary for Watt Puppy's. I would add to your search list the newest Wolcott Presence mono blocks. These have a new wide band coupling transformer, and are c... | |
| The first "audiophile"? I looked this up, and the word "audiophile" originated in 1951. The date coincides with the general publics awareness of the high fi revolution. The term "audiophile" was coined to refer to the poor creatures (like ourselves) who enjoy it to excess. |
