| Is heavy vinyl worth it? I set my TT up using heavy/thick LP stock and add a second "slim" wool felt mat when playing thinner LP's. I do not hear much of a difference between thick VS thin LP's as long as both are flat and in good condition. My TT is located outside the l... | |

| Advice on wall mounting Linn Katan speakers Gavin:Sounds good to me. Adding a brace behind the drywall was a good idea. The old place was lath covered with a very thick coat of slap plaster (late 1920's spanish structure).Generally the firmer/sturdier the mount the tighter the bass response... | |
| Blu -Tack Under Bookshelf Speakers? CDC:I remember seeing these, or something like them, years ago. I seem to recall that their use was being recommended with a specific speaker (perhaps the speaker manufacturer was endorsing them)?Used to have a pair of soccer shoes with little sho... | |
| New to vinyl, which turntable, etc? Jyprez:***"The garage sale stuff for 50 cents a record is worth about that much IMHO.I would rather have a new CD than someone's old brutalized vinyl."***Not if you know how to inspect/select the LP's. I have picked up well over 2000 desirable LP'... | |
| Blu -Tack Under Bookshelf Speakers? Elizabeth: I used the Dep for two years on the same speakers (Reynaud Twins in cherry). There was no damage to the finish (I could not even tell where it had been once I removed the tack to resell the speakers).However, I have not tried it on pain... | |
| What tweak, what to do? Richard:If the Ikea project is too taxing take a look @ Studio Tech's PS series rack (you have to assemble it). The 4 shelf version is usually available online for under $200 (shipped).Run an online search of "Studio Tech" to find the lowest price... | |
| Blu -Tack Under Bookshelf Speakers? Soc:An inexpensive alternative to BT is the "like" product under the Dep (Dap?) name. It is also blue in color (approx. $2.50/package) and it does not stain wood like some of the other brands I have tried.The way I use tack is to apply four balls ... | |
| What tweak, what to do? Richard:Review the following thread for rack ideas. My preference would be for the Ikea "Lack" DIY rack (fairly easy to assemble) which should run under $100 for a 4 shelf version.It is important to follow the guidelines/instruction (short or no l... | |

"Ghost Riders in the Sky", by Miss Peggy Lee either LP/CD and "of course" any LP featuring George Gobel on guitar/vocals.Speakers are Stephens Tru-Sonic 80FR's.Our previous main speakers (Reynaud Twins) seemed to flatter/favor Robert Clary recordi... | |
| Advice on wall mounting Linn Katan speakers Gavin:I can only offer common sense advice from using/placing small Braun wall mounted speakers in the late 70's.I had pretty much a clean rectangular room to work with, which meant that locating the speakers for best sound was a mind boggling tas... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Abex:I was under the impression (from discussion of the topic with a cable manufacturer) that it had to do with dialectic properties (perhaps the effecting the portion of the signal running on the outside if the wire).I also feel that it would wro... |
