| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! jt, I’m getting six of the 4-compartment 27-1/2" x 27-1/2" x 13-3/4" EKET’s, stacking them three high as two separate racks (a 12-pack of connecting hardware is available for securing multiple EKET’s to each other for stability, a real good idea).... | |
| Building an all analog system around Magnepan .7 for 4K and under Unless you already have the Maggie .7’s, for a room the size of yours I would reconsider getting them. They need to be a minimum of 3’ from the wall behind them, 5’ being much better. A 12’ x 11’ room is really too small for Maggies, unfortunately... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Thanks Spencer. I had a session today, and the studio owner had real good acoustical treatment of his walls---a mixture of RPG diffusors and absorbers. I have a couple of spare 9" x 3' ASC tube traps---maybe I'll put them right behind the listenin... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Great post Lew. You may likely already know this, but Roger Modjeski, the designer of the direct-coupled amp used in the Beveridge, is now making his own direct-coupled ESL at Music Reference, with a sub for the bottom two octaves. I'm dying to he... | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? Yeah, great one Slaw. My all-time favorite has gotta be "I hear You Knockin" by Dave Edmunds. The original was by Smiley Lewis, though Fats Domino also did it. Edmunds' guitar solo in his version is absolutely killer---he creates the greatest tens... | |
| Feedback through turntable Sand is good for adding mass, in place of lead. Put it in little "snack" sized ziplock sandwich bags wherever needed. The only spring isolators I've found that offer height adjustment are the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods, but they ain't cheap, $15... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? I didn't expect the extra space behind the panel to turn it into a bass trap! Just to lower its effective absorptive range a little. In the specs chart, it looks as if the Rockboard 60 may be a little better at higher frequencies than the 80, thou... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? auxinput, I took another look at the ATS site. They sell a nice frame kit for cheap, and both Rockboard 60 and 80. I'm leaving for tonights gig a little early 'cause there's a Home Depot right by the joint, so I'm going in to check out the Safe 'n... | |
| Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert? And Charlie isn't a "pounder". Now Keith Moon, he really hit those drumheads! The only other guy I saw/heard who played that hard was Buddy Miles---he was a very big and strong guy. | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! No, I'm picking mine up on Monday. As the interior compartments are essentially 13" cubes (height, width, and depth), it's perfect for LP's. And it has a rear panel! It also displays much less swaying left-to-right than the backless Ikea shelving ... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Nah, I’ll make one frame sized to fit three pieces of the Roxul in, 45-3/4" x 48" interior. There is 56" between the two doors that flank the listening position, on the wall opposite the speakers. I might put a Roxul strip on each of those doors t... | |
| Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs? The first Watt B4 x/o offers 1st/2nd/3rd/4th order (6/12/18/24 dB/octave) filters in 25Hz increments from 25Hz to 6275Hz. It is about to be discontinued, so if you want it better grab one while you can! | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Thanks everyone. Home depot sells and stocks the Roxul 3" Safe 'n' Sound in a 12-pack of 15-1/4" x 48" panels for $46.27. Such a deal! Lowes sells them in the 24" width, but with a three package minimum. WAY more than I need.Here's another questio... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Ricky and his band are great live. I saw him and them, along with Rhonda Vincent (fantastic!) and Junior Brown, a few years ago. Quite a bill! | |
