| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... The flooring appeared to be nailed, however my current neighbor is a retired contractor and mentioned we could go over on a Sunday morning and sink screws into the floor after they had put it in. It seemed fine before, however with the constructio... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Thanks much Tom & Jim - Much appreciated. I was able to drive over again today and re-measure. It does appear the current spacing of the I joists to be 19.2" center to center, I didn't measure this - don't know how I forgot but did measure jus... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Thanks again Jim. I am not fluent in builder/construction terminology, thus I am assuming if I ask the contractor to put the I joists on a 16" center, that is the amount of spacing between the I joists? The house in which I was measuring was not m... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Paul-Yes, as I can recall I do believe the break-in recommended from Emmanuel was 30 days of play. I personally did the 24/7 as it was the stock tubes and have a dedicated listening room, so keeping the system on at night doesn't affect others abi... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Tom - Thanks for the email & advice!Jim - It has been a monsoon here lately, I will most likely try to get up to the subdivision and get a better measurement on the I joists. From what I have seen so far, you are correct. There is no bracing b... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Ok, I stopped by the subdivision this evening. Our house hasn't begun construction yet, however another with almost exact floorplan is near completion of the framing stage. I think the builder is using what I think I have heard termed as "engineer... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Thank you Tom. I will shoot you an email later, as my knowledge of construction is very limited at best... I do think the builder we have chosen is using the "I beam" joists under the floor, but I will have to confirm that. Thanks again for all th... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Thanks for all the responses thus far. In general would it be key to double up the floor joists under the room, or the 3/4" plywood screwed? Is it imperative for both? I am just asking in case the builder comes back unable to do it for the cost al... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Congrats Paul. Make certain to follow Emmanuel's advice ... break in from the wall and stock for 30 days... and like Art suggested, a good powercord goes a long way on this preamp! I would highly recommend an Electraglide powercord, the "entry lev... | |
| What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps? The First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II retail about $4,200 if I recall, and IMO outperformed the Rowland Synergy in my comparisons. http://www.firstsoundaudio.com is actually the correct web addy... fyi- the pics on the site are older designs, you ... | |

| What class "D" Amps Excel at inner detail H2o Signature Mono's very precise and accurate regarding inner detail. If you are seriously considering a new amp, give Henry a call and talk to him about his "loaner" stereo amp... it will at least give you an idea of what the "entry level" $2500... | |
