Damping material for infinite baffle?
Thanks Sean and Bob. Yes, this project is important to me. The designer has been very kind to me, and I know he'd get a kick out of having one of his first production designs restored in this manner. And yes Sean, this is an origional pair, and I'... 
What's most important?
This is all great stuff, and everyone so far has made strong points. I wish my buddies were as "in the know" as most of the folks here on Audiogon. Most of them think that just throwing big $$$ at the problem(s) which plague a system will fix it. ... 
What's most important?
I appreciate your views, Eldragon, but I still don't see how the preamp (or integrated amp) can be MORE important than the proper SPEAKER/ROOM INTERFACE. And please notice that I did not say that the SPEAKERS are MORE important than the preamp, bu... 
What's most important?
I do agree with Trelja. I have also heard simple systems that sound fantastic. But what IS or IS NOT a musical system is not the subject, nor is the subject how to allocate a system budget. Notice that in my thread topic, I never comment on HOW mu... 
What's most important?
Sam, most of the guys who were over last night would agree with you. But we never really spoke about system budget, or exactly how much you should spend on each component in a system. Just what is most important, FIRST. Just to play devils advocat... 
Musical system for under $2K?
Thanks everybody. Today we listened to a great system at a friends house. Meadowlark Kestrel (Hot Rod), Jolida SJ502a, CAL 15, Audioquest cables. My nephew LOVED it. I told him that even if he bought used, he'd have to streach his budget to about ... 
Musical system for under $2K?
Sorry about that Jules. I called my nephew, and he said the room is *about* 16' x 14' x 8', and he plans to set the speakers up along the long wall. Thanks. Deborah. 
Musical system for under $2K?
Thanks for all the help so far. As I have no personal experience with DVD players, I found the advice offered by Bebo and Hdm to be very interesting, and worth looking into. And please, keep the systems comming, and the more specific, the better! ... 
Recommended BLUES recordings
IMHO the place to start would be "Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings" on Columbia/Legacy. The blues just about started here, and it does not get much deeper or more profound. The 2 CD set contains all the material Mr. Johnson ever recorded. T... 
Integrated amp decision, oh the headache
I'd love it if your wife would join us here. I'm not sure if you've been keeping up with allot of the stuff thats been going on within the Audiogon discusson groups, but let me just say, it's tough being the only female in here most of the time! A... 
Integrated amp decision, oh the headache
Hi Mrsoundman! You did not mention your room size, what you like to listen to, and if you have any specific sonic priorities, so it's kind of hard to recommend an amp. But, I do have to agree with some of the other posts regarding the Jolida gear,... 
Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000?
Thanks everyone! Sol322, I'm sure you are correct on all counts. My main system is in a dedicated room with full acoustic treatment from ASC, and the difference between the treated and non-treated room is profound. In fact,I feel that an acoustica... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
For anyone interested, please see my 8/6 post under "what the heck is resoluion audio"....I'm tired of writing the same thing over and over again with regards to Carl. 
What the heck is Resolution Audio
Thanks for the kind words Jordon, but I've had just about all I can stomach. This whole situation with Carl gets worse and worse, and no matter how cordial I try to be, he just can't control himself. His latest crusade is to try to convince everyo... 
Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000?
And yes, just in case my humor gets lost here, I know it's "ciao".....I just find allot of this stuff "chow" for thought. Ciao, for now!
