| Speaker help please for $2000 US Hi Olga: I will put in a late plug for Reynaud speakers. I use the Twins (retail is around $800.00) and would also suggest the Trentes as well if your budget is a bit over $2K. The Twins kill on acoustic music and eveything else that I have thrown... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Hi Equa: I also play the isolation game and divide it into two categories as follows. The first step is to isolate the platform or shelf (from external vibration) that is beneath the component. I use Vibrapods for this, Redkiwi is currently using ... | |
| Floor Standing "Warm" Speaker If you can, try and audition Reynaud speakers. I have not listened to their larger floor standers, but the Twin and Trente models are what I would consider to be on the warm side of neutral and they are extremely musical (like Vandersteens) and do... | |
| Footers/Shelf Material Hi Sol: I have always had the PC's hanging in the air from the power conditioner to the component. My gear is placed in (and now on top of as well) an old Tansu cabinet and all of the components are at least 5' off the floor. I never upgraded the ... | |
| Power/Line conditioner Sugarbrie: Which APC model (for hifi) are you referring to? We have an APC model LR1250 coming in this week that I was going to try on the main stereo system (it was mentioned in another thread). I need to use it on the computer for now, because o... | |
| Rega Planet vs Cal Audio Labs Icon MK II PS: I meant to say/write coaxial/digital input (not output). | |
| Rega Planet vs Cal Audio Labs Icon MK II Hi Axomoxa: I have been away with computer problems and just came back on line. If the Dx-2 has a coaxial/digital out I don't see why it would not make a nice transport. Yes, replacing the existing feet with Pods is an option, or if the Pods have ... | |
| anyone with a 'system' near me? Jerry: If you have not already, try posting to the "Who RU" thread and you may find some takers in your area. I have met a few local people at this site that I would like to go HiFi salon hopping with when I am a little more mobil than I am now, b... | |
| Hiding Tube Traps??? Other questions are: Is the fabric really acoustically transparent and how much of a difference does it make on the low frequencies? I would also assume that the tube traps do effect other frequencies as well and if this is the case then the "tran... | |
| Cambridge Audio D500SE CD player Trelja: Never mind then:-) | |
| Turntable innertubes: air, water, oil I use large veterinarian syringes (without the needle) for filling my souvenir snowdomes. I wonder if these would work well. The tip (hole) could easily be made larger as they are made of plastic. | |
| Hiding Tube Traps??? Yes they do and you have well behaved cats. | |
| Contact cleaners/What's good? PS: Thanks for the Galen info. I had lost their site during are last computer crash and could not remember the name. | |
| Hiding Tube Traps??? What will the cats do to the screens? We have been slowly switching our upholstered fabric furniture to leather as I find leather with pin point holes and light abrasions more attractive than shredded fabric. We have five cats and because of this ... | |
| Best material for speaker cables? Yanomami: My speaker cable runs are 17' which is another reason that I will not be trying silver cable anytime soon. Another option other than silver and "typical" copper are the micro wire designs such as those offered by Mapleshade. I use there ... |
