| Know of any true bullet proof equipment stories? "Any speaker made out Kevlar!"OK, if you want go there. The original Cerious Technologies speakers were made out of ballistic ceramic with a carbon fiber wrap. I believe the wrap was kevlar or a close relative. | |
| The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's Zootr,Good luck. I think the strip was 1/4" thick. Maybe it was 3/8" or 3/4". I copied the factory design on that part of the stand but my memory could be wrong about the thickness. Hopefully someone with factory stands will post some measurements... | |
| The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's Zootr,I built my own stands from solid (1.5" thick) walnut and made them about 2" higher than the factory stands. I just used one piece in the middle and made the stands "I" shaped. I think the factory one had three uprights. Was there more than o... | |
| Sonic impressions of Axpona 2011 Agear, What did you hear that you liked? | |
| Perfect Debute Albums I know "Surrealistic Pillow" was not the Airplane's first album. Is it the first featuring Grace Slick? If so, I say it is the "real Airplane's" debut. | |

| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Apogee is the only company I truly miss. I don't think the void has been filled by other companies. | |
| "The Heat Pipes are coming"... The Heat Pipes are Jejaudio, Do not confuse opening the thread with actually reading your posts. I abandoned your first post about 1/4 of the way through it. Then I skimmed some posts and still have no idea what you are talking about. But I have come to the conclusi... | |

| How to connect the Quad 99 CD-P to PrimaLuna Been there and done that using a Quad CDP and Quad integrated. Mechans is correct. Using the fixed output on the CDP would be preferred unless the PrimaLuna does not have a remote and you crave that function. In that case try the variable output. | |
| Room correction altering soundstage One further thought--occasionally a strong reflection near the microphone can confuse the TacT. Is the microphone set up near a large glass or mirror area or stone/brick fireplace? | |
| Room correction altering soundstage An 18ms delay indicates something is very wrong. I consistently get 0.00-0.04ms delays between main speakers when measured with my TacT equipment. The variation is due to slight changes in the placement of the microphone including being slightly o... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Sogood51,I am not sure if you were referring to my post or not. I am not intentionally trying to turn "OBO" into an auction. I was merely pointing out that it has some similarities to an auction if there are multiple bidders. Best offer wins. Even... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" "OBO" means just that. Make an offer--A specific price with a clear statement of what it covers or does not cover (shipping, PayPal, etc.).OBO is NOT a request for a buyer to respond with "what is your best price". The seller has already made an o... | |
| does a subwoofer kill stereo sound? Magfan, You made this comment: "If I had the $$, time and inclination, I'd work on NOT running my panels full range. I suspect there are additional benefits in that direction, but also a whole new learning curve."For my tastes, I found taking some... |
