| Footers? You forgot something. The acoustic energy that is flying around the room when the speakers are active. No footer, concrete floor etc will solve that, only an 'acoustic screen'. | |
| Cost to treat a room? $700-900, assuming you buy used. As newbee remarked, the challenge is to find out what the problem is. Lastly, every room needs to be treated as perfect rooms only exist for perfect people, all can be improved. | |
| Do I need room treatments? floor plan included Not yet. First move the speakers to the long wall, then work from there. Also, need to get the speakers away from the wall. | |
| Very interesting radio shack vs. audioquest The truth will make you richer! Well known in the hobby is that in double blind tests, few if anybody can tell the difference between cables. And yes, there are some bad cables out there but the price has little to do with there being 'bad'. Are t... | |
| Wow, I heard things on tape I never heard before I have a few first generation copies of some studio master tapes, all 15ips, dual track, produced on Ampex machines. They do sound great but I have no reference to what the material sounds like since I don't have vinyl/cd equivalents. I also have ... | |
| CD and SACD player under $500 Be bold! Buy a Sony 595 refurb for $60 from SonyStyle, shipped free. They will come get it if you don't like it. Little to lose, except hi-end mortification. The key here is to keep an open mind and not let your wallet tell you it can't be any good. | |
| Replacing Ortofon MC20 looking for some recommends Why not a current Shure 97? Low cost ($65), easy to set up, great sound. | |
| Soundproofing and room correction for apartment? Elizabeth makes some great comments. Go slow, one object at a time so you can sense the change. As to the WAF 'canvases on the wall', best to try some ceiling to floor lined drapes in key spots. If you pull the drapes out from the wall two inches,... | |
| TT to another room, no vibs, better sounds? "i don't think tonearms are affected by air borne reasonace". Really. Read that vibrations too. Think about it, the interplay of the low mass tonearm and the room 'excitment' will make any plinth mass and its stand the least of your problems. Just... | |
| Sterophile's not so nice review of Bryston As Rick said, are you saying that there is corruption in the audio press? Shocking, just so shocking! Before long people will expect the New York Times to be honest and truthful, which of course, will never happen. | |
| Recommend a cd player Sony 595 as a refurbished unit from SonyStyle for $60, including shipping. Hey, dare to be cheap and let your ears be the judge. This will change the way you think about hi-end stuff. | |
| Where to buy a good quality wall wart Look at companies that provide hospital grade electrical equipment. The requirements hospital's have are pretty tough. I have some hospital grade isolation boxes and they are great, with a low noise floor. | |
| TT to another room, no vibs, better sounds? Yes, you are on to something as the acoustic vibrations created by the speakers will excite all the objects in the listening space. I isolated all my equipment in a adjoining space when I built a custom media room. The results were a significant i... | |
| Proac 1sc or 2D for this size room Go for the 2D, if you have the room. Stands, of course, are a must and should be filled. | |
| Record Cleaning Steam, is the way to go. With a $30 unit from Walmart you are set to go. Yes, a brush, carbon fiber, is also needed. |
