| 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... | |
| 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. |
