| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? In all fairness to Dennis Foley, he clearly makes the point that the most expensive part of room treatment is bass management. He clearly states that managing fundamental frequencies, in the 30 , 40, 50 cycle range is the name of the game or the h... | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? 6.5 foot ceilings, you have a difficult situation to say the least. Could be very difficult to manage p. Major bass absorption in great magnitudes, not inexpensive. Please don’t make the the mistake of buying anything without knowing what issues... | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. My experience, not hugely vast, non technical, was; as soon as I experienced minimal XO’s as in my loudspeakers (Reference 3A Grand Veenas), phase alignment, the holography went through the roof. Further enhancement was the made through the use o... | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? @soundchasr, I’d place two nice dog beds in the middle. Good absorption, especially when occupied. | |
| Do speaker wires matter I had M-1’s for years. Love the soundstage. I used to watch Henry Kloss upside down double stack them with 8 amps. They need appropriate power, mucho. I used a Sim W-5, 185 watts into 8 ohms, double that into 4, was barely enough because the M-1’s... | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. No one should miss the The Wall, The Diamond, The Reflection, and especially The Minatour in your choice of Stainless, Bronze, Marble and more by Audiovisual Art. | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? IMHO, the foundation for a great room begins with managing the bass as pointed out above, the most difficult and the most expensive. Start here. https://www.acousticsinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Acoustics-Insider-Bass-Hunter-Technique-S... | |

| SME tonearm rewire - holy cow Sent my V to SME England for the overhaul last year. Same result, holy cow! Also,there was a great tweak by Roy Gregory of Hi-Fi plus magazine back in 2005 I believe for all the SME arms with the bridge, remove it, only cosmetic, just links the tw... | |
| Speaker Audition Have a look at the GR Research-Line Force with Servo Subs. Some DYI but not impractical. Line source and line array, efficient cutting edge. I believe without servos,12K. I’m drooling. | |
| Opinions!! Could try OB’s. PureAudioProject Quintets, Trios, Jump in at any size. Upgradable without loss of investment, efficient, Just ask VPI, Whammerdyne, and more that use them to demo their own products. Says a lot. Once heard, not easily forgotten. | |
| Opening Record Store One additional point. The fact that the owner is already soliciting away the value, the good will, I would offer even less of as that is what he is attempting to sell you. Some States permit non compete clauses in the contract, and a contract, you... | |
| Opening Record Store My answer to your question about the 10K is this. What’s the profitability after the figures are normalized? If the previous owner paid himself fairly as an hourly employee, added back in soft costs that he may have written off as a business expen... | |
