| Stereo systems are like Harleys @wolf_garcia Have been to Marcus Dairy quite a number of times on a Heritage Softail (carbureted). That's an old pleasant memory. Tried riding the '76 shovelhead rigid chopper up there one time...too much pain, seems I waited too long and tried t... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? +1 mapmanI for one have not posted a question on this forum simply because I didn'twant to read the inevitable responses from those in attack mode. But, it is not a constant it ebbs and flows. I will certainly post again as I do enjoy the intera... | |
| Mistakes I’ve made The flip side is while overseas I bought quite a bit of "very good" stereo equipment, but had yet to receive it as part of rotating back to the states.Still have some of it. And yes almost 50 years later it still sounds excellent. | |
| Mistakes I’ve made When I went into the service I loaned a complete system (receiver, TT, speakers and a few records) to a friend. It was the 70s, I was young and it was a 10 year old Radio Shack system, but top-of-line for them. I come back from overseas and he i... | |
| Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2 OP:I gots to know:Did you buy them new or used?Did they always sound this way?Does anyone else operate the system?This sentence alone makes me think they are blown.." amps i was looking at , keeping in mind that I want the Amp to have at least 30... | |
| Living room system: class A or AB amps? To OP, If I had just spent 100K or 65K on sale for that matter. I would think it a no-brainer to jump on a plane and go to the highest of the high-end dealerships who sells Focal and audition amps in a large space. Obviously you're going to spend ... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? @terry,From my original post: Rewired the entire room and in the process added 7 high hats. They were to be used to make the room very bright for cleaning, playing with wires etc. I also have four sconces that will get the old style low wattag... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? oldhvymec, My room is 15 X 17 X 8, not ideal, but its what I have to work with. I too am retired, coming up on 7 years now!bkeske, I didn't specify the LEDs to my electrician. And I just had him put in six 3" LED "shallow" lights in a fireplace... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? lpretiring,I’ve used permatex for gaskets. I’m thinking that its essentially a hi-temp version of RTV sealant as well as unaffected by petroleum products. Did not know it was good for vibration control. Thanks.Regards,barts | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? dekay,Funny how I never ran into the tactile transducers before. I took a look and the few I looked at only go down to about 100-300hz. My rig is really full range. Took quite a bit of work in the last iteration of this room to stop random buzz... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? oldhvymec,I should have mentioned that the entire room was sprayed with commercial sound absorbing open cell foam. Then Roxul SAFB to fill up all the cavities, so the wires are all or nearly all are foamed into place. I have yet to pull some of ... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? cissado, thanks for the suggestions much appreciated. I will address all of those areas. The sheetrock is going to be glued and screwed, so maybe some Green Glue on the supporting braces between the joists is a good way to go. Along with taping... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? MC, I forgot to ask...did you do anything to your cans so they won't rattle/buzz? | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? Rego, The cans are exposed at the moment (no sheetrock in the room yet) so now would be the time to either take them out and replace with another type fixture or attempt to remedy a problem that I don't know I have yet. Thanks. | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? Eric, the only problem with leaving them in is after sheetrock I very well may put stained pine boards on the entire ceiling. That would a problem to try and rip them out. They are not on the same circuit and will not have dimmers, they're just ... |
