| Shelf Material Thank you Caterham for not calling me dim. I have seen Corian on "This Old House" but did not make the connection. It is much easier to source than Persimmon. | |
| Best Bookshelf Speakers Jtinn: What were the speakers that you blew and did you like them, if not what was it that you did not like about them? What kind of music do you listen to? Also how much power does your amp have and what is the size of your listening room? When w... | |
| Shelf Material Where do you purchase Corian? If it is readily available and stiff enough for a 24" stretch between supports I may want to try it for my second amp/preamp shelf. I do not mean to drive anyone crazier, but the best sound for my CD player so far has... | |
| Shelf Material Thanks Sam: I did not realize that the Pods would raise the X gear enough. I have a set here (right under my nose) and yes they work like a charm. I guess that the SS preamp section is then more succeptable to vibration than the SS power amp. I us... | |
| Is the Cassette Recorder Dead? I use our little mini system with a dub deck to listen to my wife's collection of some 300+ tapes. I do not patch it through the main system as the sound quality of the deck "and the tapes" are not that good. They sound "better" on the little syst... | |
| Shelf Material Sam: What have you used sussecfully under the "X" components? Have you found a way to get around the stock integral feet, or do you use the stock feet in your formula? I am just playing with the amp(s) for now but may pick up the X-Ray (used) and ... | |
| Neophite needing advice I made it out to my LInn dealer and discovered that the Sekrit on the wall speakers have been disco'd. I was unable to audition them. Just the flush mount version is still available, which does not interest me due to many in wall water leaks over ... | |
| Shelf Material Caterham: Both shelves (whole and with a hole) were cut from the same piece of MDF, there were no other shelf materials involved. I did not power down the system or move my source, so the comparison was quick and easy. Their was no noticeable diff... | |
| Interconnect recommendations?? Sam: Rav admitted to being clueless about IC's in his second thread. I suggested some good IC's IMO (without notable faults) and their general characteristics. He has to start somewhere. Rav, you really have to listen to them in your system to dec... | |
| Help on Interconnects Harmonic Technologies Truthlink IC ($250.00 retail or $125.00 used)- nice warm but detailed sound and smooth HF's which may work well with your Adcom gear. Homegrown Audio's Super Silver IC ($70.00 new and solid core pure silver), has a very smoot... | |
| Shelf Material Caterham: I finished the MDF shelving yesterday and had two shelves cut. One with an off center hole and one solid. I could not hear a difference between the two though neither sounded very good with my Musical Fidelity amp resting on them with it... | |
| Records Everywhere - Help! If you have a "lot" of vinyl and a closet (preferably one you can step into) that you can allocate, this is the best long term solution as your collection grows. You can use "any" sturdy shelving since it is "in the closet" and you just need a goo... | |
| Neophite needing advice Castle Acoustics - Richmond speakers ($500.00). NAD 740 receiver ($500.00). Cambridge 300 CD player ($300.00). Mapleshade IC's and speaker cables ($153.00). Prices are retail, if you can do better upgrade the Cambridge to the 500 model which is $1... | |
| Getting into tubes? Eldragon: I have researched a lot of inexpensive tube amps recently and have also considered the little Antique Sound Lab's. I have read of others having reliablity problems with the amps. I do not know if they are assembly or design problems. I h... | |
| Voltage Regulators I have always wondered about using one of these with hifi gear but have never looked into it. I have in the past used commercial regulators with test equipment like scopes and thermocouples in a R&D facility and assumed that they helped mainta... |
