New in 2017 Rodney Crowell has a new album ("Close Ties") due the end of the month that I’m looking forward to. He has really grown into one of our premier artists imo. | |
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? That's great to know aux. Both Acoustimac and ATS offer their DIY panel frames with or without back panels. Without it is! | |
Subpanel/Isolation Transformer/Dedicated Lines Oh, and if you have any interest in Hard Country, Western Swing, etc. music Bill, I heartily recommend Austin’s The Cornell Hurd Band. Cornell is an old friend of mine who has been playing in the Austin Honky Tonks since moving there in the late 7... | |
Subpanel/Isolation Transformer/Dedicated Lines Congratulations on the house Bill! If you can find a pair of the original Quad II power amps, they are great with the Quad 57. A contemporary amp that’s even better with them is the Music Reference RM-10, a beauty of an amp---Eric. | |
High quality interconnects - bargain price Guitar Center also sells Mogami Gold balanced cables, commonly used in recording studios with microphones. They are fitted with Neutrik XLR jacks, and are dirt cheap, like $55 for a single 15' cable. Great for subs, if nothing else. | |
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Thanks a million Spencer. Yeah, I've seen Ethan, an objectivist, and some subjectivists get into squabbles on other sites. He's a "If you can't prove it with measurements, it doesn't exist" kinda guy. That's fine with me when it comes to acoustics... | |
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? The amroc program is exactly where I learned of all the modes/nodes in a room! What a great aid in understanding what's going on in any size room, and where acoustic treatment will give the most results. I hadn't seen Ethan Winers article, so than... | |
New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! I have only a few special boxsets taller than 12-7/8", the interior height of the EKET. Anyone contemplating purchasing them can measure their LP’s to see if 12-7/8" will do. As for weight capacity, the EKET seems sturdier to me than does the Kall... | |
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? All good points, guys. My desire to get some absorption of lower frequencies at the listening position originates from having read that bass modes/nodes build up at not just room corners (though that is where they are most prominent), nor not just... | |
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? I was back near the same Home Depot today with a little time on my hands. I went in and looked for the Roxul Safe ’n’ Sound myself this time, and found it right on the shelf. S’n’S is 3" thick, and soft and loose, very limp, not at all like the OC... | |
New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! Also, the Ikea Bitrade is larger than the EKET, at 28-3/8" top-to-bottom and side-to-side, and 15-3/8" deep. It also cheaper than the EKET, at $24.99, but available only in white. | |
Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 Voodooman, if you like your 1ce's, replacing them with the Vandersteen 2 seems like a good idea. They may be better overall than the 1ce with a sub. The Model 2 with subs even better! When Brooks was alive and a Vandersteen dealer he sold a lot of... | |
New to forum and Vinyl If you want to stay with a vintage table, the AR (Acoustic Research) XA would be great choice, as long as the cartridge you mount on it is shielded. The AR has an unshielded motor, and you will get hum out of the table with an unshielded cartridge... | |
New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! g-klaven, the 13" interior dimensions (height, width, depth) of the compartments in the EKET is perfect for LP's imo. With the front of each LP about 3/4" from the front of the EKET, and the top of each LP about 3/4" from the shelf above it, it is... | |
New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! jt, take a look at the listing of the double EKET on the IKEA site. It is two of the 4-compartment models side-by-side, with a long underframe under each unit. IKEA sells that combination (two 4-compartment EKET's, two long underframes) as a separ... |
