| Oil caps-any advise on sonics? South: Check out the tube and DIY forums @ AA. There is a new cap (maybe a new AN) which I recently read about that some people now favor over the Jensen's (I assume that it is also smooth sounding). There is also tons of info on other caps. I jus... | |
| Would a Fabric Room Divider Interfere with sound? Hi Angela: I tried something similar in the past (just two channel, not HT) with my old Ls3/5a'a and the subs. It did not sound right to me (mainly in the HF's). I used finished silk stretched on (1" x 1") panel frames and can't imagine that the s... | |
| Wedding Music - Recommendations for Program OK: Here's another one. I just asked my wife what we would have chosen if we would have had a string quartet in the judge's chambers. Together we decided that it would have been a medly of "The Hustle" and "The Love Boat" theme (should be easy to ... | |
| Wedding Music - Recommendations for Program We did not have music @ the ceremony (judge's chambers), but did play music by Vince Guraldi (Peanuts:-) @ the reception. This was our first choice. Don't know how this would translate to a string quartet, but it might be interesting/memorable (it... | |
| Reproduction of acoustic instruments with tube amp Interesting comment on acoustical music (small scale) as this is what any half way decent tube amp does best (this would be the "last" complaint on the list for most). Might be better off if you list your complete system (the one to be used with t... | |
| I turn the big Half-Century today Ernie: How about some Glenn Yarbrough to Lite up your 50th (maybe a little Phil Ochs for the rebel in you as well:-)? Congratulations, I have a couple more years before I join you and will probably just get drunk while eating cooked snails and raw... | |
| entry planar setup Piglet: How about some single driver speakers for the BR? I am researching these for our living room, but a smaller room might be more appropriate. They will have recessed high and low frequencies, but otherwise should get to the heart of the musi... | |
| Cowboy Junkie Fans Scott & Ben: Other than the overall package I enjoy many of their songs as they are (in my mind) through compositions. Songs that are conceived and then finished on kind of a roll. Songs like these do not sound contrived and have a certain flo... | |
| Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average?? Yes Eldragon: and in the same spirit I will retract my absurd statement as well (upon thumbing through some old H&G's I have discovered that "such" speakers will work in a proper Thistle garden after all:-). Anyone care to follow our lead? | |
| Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average?? PS: Though suitable for Ivy stands, don't get the impression that such speakers will work in a proper Thistle garden. | |
| Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average?? SunnyJim, Natalie & El Dragon: Respectfully, if speakers are not designed, manufactured and played in Scotland (with only Scottish music, mind you) they are indeed crap and worth no more than a few coins as Ivy stands. Enough said. | |
| Please help prevent mistake : Phone-Pre amp For $200 research the "Little Rat" @:audioasylum.com (in the Vinyl Asylum)I use two of these ($25/each as dual monos and they sound very good. They are battery powered and the rechargable batteries (two sets to rotate) and a charger will run just ... | |
| Constructing/braiding your own speaker cables. Enchilada: The Teflon insulation is very important, IMO, as it just sound better. Also when you braid cables you loose overall length and the cable would have to be longer in order to end up with a finished 10' unit. If you are interested in a str... | |
| Best CDP break-in procedure You can run the CD player (with a disc spinning) and the speaker volume off/down (just make certain the the source selection is set to the CD player). On most preamp sections I would guess that they do not even need to be turned on in order to com... | |
| Are records harmed from no air conditioning? TWL: When stored upright (with the end/back LP resting against a flat board) I have never experienced damage. I grew up in Iowa (no A/C), before moving to LA. Still don't use A/C (even removed one from our apartment as I hate the stuff in my home)... |
