| Acoustical Foam My stereo has been powered up for a few days. I like the overall effect of the foam. I think that there is still sparkle in the treble. I'm not sure if I have lost much treble (probably have though based on the posts above), but I'm not unhappy wi... | |
| Acoustical Foam Hey Chuttt,I have approximately 2/3 of the walls covered now. I'm working from the front back to my chair. The room is getting a little less resonant now. However, I tested the higher mid frequency by whistling in the room the last time I was in t... | |
| Acoustical Foam Interesting responses full of great information. I have put the foam on the walls immediately flanking and the wall behind my speakers and equipment. I have not treated the back wall where my chair will be located. From what I've read in this post... | |
| Acoustical Foam Herman, I don't think the room will be dead sounding. I worked at 2 radio stations in my younger days, and the recording studios that were dead sounding had heavy steel doors and purpose built walls that could withstand artillery fire. This room i... | |
| Is Smoking Really That Bad For Audio Equipment? Dirtyragamuffin, I was in Green Bay in Dec. 04 and it was freaking cold compared to Chicago. I guess you have to be be alot tougher to endure Wisconsin winters, and I could see why you would not ask your friends to head outside. I have never had h... | |
| Is Smoking Really That Bad For Audio Equipment? I went bowling tonight and saw a sign in the bowling alley that starting Monday cigarette smoking is banned in all indoor public settings in Chicago. So, I think that smoking will continue to decline as smokers have less opportunities to engage th... | |
| Is Smoking Really That Bad For Audio Equipment? Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that the smoke might damage the speaker surrounds or leave a film on the electrical connectors. Your explanation makes sense, and I can understand why no one would want to purchase used equipment if it smelled ... | |
| CARY 303/200 CD PLAYER Mlumalu, have you hooked up the cd player yet? I would be curious to learn what your experience is with this cd player as it is one that I'm considering purchasing when I save up $1500 for one used. The reviews all say that is works great, but you... | |
| Review: Bose 201 Series V This was a very detailed review and it was nice to see someone analyze products that are within the reach of everyone. The only comment I can make about Bose is that some of the people I know that own Bose are arrogant about the speakers. They rea... | |
| What's your profession? Age? CPA - 28 years old. I have spent about $13k but some of the money was wasted by purchasing new mid-fi equipment at audio dealers instead of better used equipment through audiogon. | |
| Future of this hobby? All is not lost in my opinion. Current audiophiles will be fortunate to enjoy this hobby with the equipment that has been produced and that which is manufactured in the next 20 or 30 years before companies begin to fold in a worst case scenario. S... | |
| Future of this hobby? Tvad,That could be a great business idea! There is a small niche market that would appreciate a nursing home for audiophiles. Instead of sitting in a common room playing backgammon and watching tv, there could be a big group of people gathered lis... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? i have a 1998 civic with a dented hood, a 2004 jetta, and a 2002 suzuki SV650s. | |
| Amplifier Question I am getting my Linbrook Reference One Piece System this weekend. Ty is driving up to Chicago to deliver my speakers and is delivering a pair of custom speakers to a man that lives near-by in the suburbs. Ty is a great guy and by making this trip ... | |
| Amplifier Question Pipeguy, I just spoke to Tyler on the phone. He had a used Linbrook One Piece Reference System coming in from a trade that I had expressed interest in. I thought about it and ended up purchasing them today. I will let you know how those sound as t... |
