| CineMag SUT I have been using a borrowed Cinemag SUT (Bob's) w/ a Shelter 501 pair (stereo and mono) on my VPI Aries, and I thought that it was good - certainly better than the old Audio Note AN-S2 I had been using. Neither SUT was resolving enough for my tas... | |
| Looking for warm sounding speakers What size/range of speaker are you looking for?I would look at any of the French speaker manufacturers: Triangle, Focal or (my favorite) JM Reynaud. All excel at the sound qualities that you are looking for: warm sounding laid back speakers not ag... | |
| speakers close to the back wall ? The Audio Note E's gave boomy bass in my room against the back wall and corners and not until they were 3ft. back was it controlled.If you want the AN-Es closer to the wall try placing a diffuser between the speakers - an Indian blanket or a curta... | |
| What Speakers to use in a bar/restaurant environment My $0.02 worth:1- For a 3000 ft2 space you are probably going to want to distribute speakers over the space. One pair of speakers will be too loud adjacent to the speakers and not loud enough at the "edges".2- Suspending the speakers from the ceil... | |

There is simply not enough space to store enough ALC files to make it worth the trouble, at least for me.If your music server is in a ... | |
| VPI bearing oil/grease? Dopogue said:STP Oil Treatment is awfully thick and used to be recommended for tonearm damping because of its high viscosity. I know you said only 2-3 drops, but still ...Yeah, I know... that was my thought as well. But it's not as viscous as grea... | |
| Top 5 Cue Joints I live near L.A. so we are pretty much BBQ-challenged. But when I was a kid there used to be a place in Culver City called Sterns Famous BBQ. Ahhh, I can still taste their sauce, made from the beef trimmings (no pork) of the meat that was slow coo... | |
| Blue Note reissues Actusreus said: and it's in the the same spot on faulty records so it must be a quality issue with transfer and manufactureIf you are experiencing this problem repeatedly at the same point of on these LPs I would suspect that it's either a problem... | |
| VPI bearing oil/grease? When I used to work in a machine shop (college job, many lifetimes ago) the guy responsible for the high precision lathes used to use STP Oil Treatment to lube his machine. Other freinds of mine who are shooters use the same stuff to lube their re... | |
| Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility My 2 cents worth:1- As your experience shows, the iPhone is not an iPod and works like crap for anything except MP3 files. IMHO if you need an iPod use an iPod. Better yet, use your laptop or an iMac as a music server.Your iDecco will work very we... | |
| Which speakers have the biggest soundstage I agree with the Philojet, Audio Note speakers are wide disperson designs and are noted for their wide soundstage.Due to their design, Ohm Walsh speakers provide a very wide soundstage due to unique design. If they are placed properly there is ess... | |
