| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? I'm looking forward to pic's of all these fine tubes you intend on purchasing - maybe even throw in a pic of your setup/room? DeKay | |
| Want to build a rack with sandwich layered dampening Here’s the one I thought might work. LACK TV unit, W - 47 1/4" H - 14 1/8" D - 13 3/4" It has 2 levels. There is another one that is 63" wide. DeKay | |
| Want to build a rack with sandwich layered dampening If your components are not heavy weights an inexpensive alternative would be to try a low light/rigid table. If you have Ikea in your area look specifically @ their "LacK" tables which come in many different sizes. Some of the shallow "TV" table... | |
| Thanks to the Moderators What did I miss (been binge-reading old Tana French novels)? DeKay | |
| Source for Garrard 301 plinth (and other 301 questions) Here's a good DIY (301 plinth) thread. There is also a "how to" article with pics @ Stereophile online. I could make that one with less/simpler tools than those in the article (drill/hand held scroll saw/flat-round wood file and sand paper). ht... | |
| Amp for Vintage Heresy Add a sub (or subs) or try an amp with a very low damping factor. If the speaker cables are 12’ (or less) try single runs of 22-26 gauge solid core copper wire as speaker cables (doing so should bloom the bass a bit). On the cheap try basic copp... | |

Four smaller points of hard contact instead of placing the bottom of the speake... | |
| Why no pics on A’gon Forum? Thanks for the info Elliott. DeKay | |

After placing it on a few CD's with mixed results (some good) I ended up placing 3 squares of the foil on a few CD Stat-Mats (a commercial CD add on mat that did offer... | |
| Why no pics on A’gon Forum? I'm not computer savvy, so don't know how to "size" images, but here's a go from the only pic I have with my A'Gon system (something my wife had stored on the computer with other cat pics). My moniker pic is from the same batch (his name is Chick... | |
| Does anyone know what's up with vinylengine.com? Just tried and my moniker/password are not recognized. It's been a year (or 2) since I last logged in. DeKay | |
| Why no pics on A’gon Forum? Download the pic to your A'Gon system listing and then link that to your post. When composing your post the "show link" icon looks like a paperclip and it's just to the right of the smily face. DeKay | |
| Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight? These weigh about a pound. I purchased one for my wife last year (anvil is cool/box is cardboard). http://www.alloykats.com/acmeanvil.html DeKay | |

| Least expensive plug-in power conditioner that works phillyrover: The PST-8 was mentioned by Erik Squires (sp?). It is the least expensive model (within the Furman line) he recommended. DeKay |
