| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Great, thanks fellas. Your insights and referrals have given me a good start. So far I have concluded to proceed thusly:- Verify the availability of empty spaces on the electrical panel (there is no sub-panel; it's just a moderately-sized three be... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Oh, and if there is a particular high performance-to-price ratio AC outlet anyone wants to recommend, be my guest. I'm open to having my skepticism regarding them dissuaded ;-). | |
| Any vocals that you like? The Everly Brothers Cadence and early Warner Brothers recordings (on Ace Records, a great UK company) and Roy Orbison's Monument stuff. Great voices, great songs, fantastic production and sound! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Agreed Loomis, about Kontiki. The cover of Emitt’s new one disturbs me; what’s with the crying face?! He’s a pretty miserable guy (his original contract, ex-wives), but c’mon, that’s no way to present him! I listened to the samples of it on Amazon... | |
| Creating space between interconnects & keeping cables off the floor Not meaning to hijack the thread, but since you're all here already ;-):I'm about to setup in a new room, and will need to run my speaker cables across the space I need to be able to walk through to get to my LP and CD racks. To protect them from ... | |
| Martin Logan Vista spks versus Maggie 1.7 speakers. Best speaker for medium size room?? Yeah, that's a problem for a lot of us! The thing is, a lot of good box speakers also need to be away from walls and corners, though perhaps not as far as planars. | |
| Getting Personal Property Insurance for your rig. If your policy DOES cover LP's, get an appraisal of your collection by a local rare record dealer in writing. | |
| Martin Logan Vista spks versus Maggie 1.7 speakers. Best speaker for medium size room?? Jim, Brooks Berdan Ltd. is an Eminent Technology dealer, and last time I was there they had a pair of LFT-8b to listen to. Some people prefer it to the 1.7, roughly the same price. The ET features push-pull design as opposed to the single ended 1.... | |
| SVS or Velodyne Those Salk built Rythmiks are great. You can also buy the DIY F15 kit and build an enclosure yourself, bracing the hell out of it as does Jim. The Salk wood finishes are really beautiful. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report You know what was better loomis? Playing with Emitt Rhodes! I did his late-90's Poptopia appearance with him. His first time on stage in a quarter century, and people came from all over the world to see and hear him. In the band was Jamie Hoover (... | |
| Martin Logan Vista spks versus Maggie 1.7 speakers. Best speaker for medium size room?? All of the above is excellent advice. Though 3ft. is given as the minimum distance planars should be from the wall behind them, acoustic theory suggests a minimum of 5ft. is actually more like it. That allows for the arrival time at your ears of t... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm adjustment Aw, I was kiddin’ ;-). But I had a couple of them years ago, and I’m not convinced that with a very low-compliance stylus, the arm can’t actually be moved a little by the stylus itself, spun on it’s axis out of correct azimuth. But nobody was more... | |
| Martin Logan Vista spks versus Maggie 1.7 speakers. Best speaker for medium size room?? One that isn't mentioned much is the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, which are $2499/pr. A hybrid magnetic-planar/dynamic woofer with a x/o frequency at 180Hz. A really good speaker for the price. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm adjustment Unipivots suck. | |
| Why some preamps does not play music? Cold? Only if installed in the correct direction George ;-). |
