| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? I’ve heard good things about Mississippi Studios, but haven’t yet been there. Portland has some great small theaters, and lots of pubs. They pay much better than the clubs and bars in L.A., I’ll tell ya that! | |
| Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs? partroysound: If your m/t panel wings move relative to the wings base as much as mine did, I would definitely attach a length of hardwood (or metal rod, like the Quad 2805 and 2905) to the backside of the m/t panel wing near its top, the other end... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? I’ve been playing with Harvest Gold since September. Songs by Neil Young (of course), Stephen Stills, Gregg Allman, Steve Earle, Hunter/Garcia, Dylan, Guy Clark, Arlo Guthrie, etc. And a few originals, for the right audience. The manager is workin... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? You're right auxinput, a pair of ATS 24 x 48 x 2 panels cost only $37 to ship to me, much better. They even make them 4" deep, which I may go for. | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Thanks again Brad, and howdy neighbor (sort of)! I’m pretty regular at Music Millennium, but hearing of Jack Pot and Artichoke is great news. I haven’t done much exploring in Portland yet, gotta get into it. I lived in Portland in ’77-8, and all t... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Perhaps the Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa, overall. For "small" music the original Quad, unquestionably. | |
| Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs? An active electronic x/o need not necessarily contain opamps, or ic’s as well. As an example, my First Watt B4 is free of both, and it’s use in a bi-amped speaker system can make for a better product than almost all non-bi-amped speakers using spe... | |
| Best value record cleaner/cleaning system After graduating from the Discwasher to a Nitty Gritty when it was first introduced, and then to a VPI HW-16, I much preferred the VPI. Not only does the VPI Vacuum suck the LP dry much quicker (in two revolutions) than the NG, but its platter pro... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Thanks Brad, the Acoustimac line looks great, and reasonably priced. A 4' x 4' x 2" panel is only $122, but the shipping to me (NW) is $140! Guess I'll make it myself. | |
| A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker? DT will want a pair for his golden palace, the speaker being so shiny and all. | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Thanks auxinput. My ESL (old Quads) and magnetic-planar (Magneplanar Tympani T-IV) speakers don’t splatter much sound on the side walls, having the dipole null on either side and being pretty directional at higher frequencies, with the tweeter str... | |
| break in It's not like you can't listen through a component that isn't fully broken in. I mean, the sound isn't so bad as to be unlistenable, is it? It's only a matter of degree, right? How spoiled are we?! No offense intended Mike!---Eric. | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Thanks Spencer. I am able to have my planar speakers (ESL’s and magnetic-planars) 5’ from the wall behind them, so I’m going to try diffusion there first, with absorption only directly behind the listening position---Eric. | |
| One of the coolest articles on sound and vibration I can recall having read Very interesting Ivan, and great! Related to harmonic fifths is the circle of 5ths, as established by J.S. Bach in the 18th Century. In a video on You Tube, Leonard Bernstein explains and demonstrates musical theory, culminating in the 5ths. Highl... | |
| A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker? Looks like it got pulled out of a car door. Cheap and tacky. |
