| Who's Gone Topless? @geoffkait, No, wrong again. Speaker dependent. My Focus speakers were rewired by the prior owner. For a couple years, I cringed when I heard a blast of horns. Too bright sounding. About 20 years ago, my friend had me remove the drivers. The... | |
| Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer The biggest collections I missed (and couldn’t have stored anyway) were Tom Chandler with 1.5 million, Music Man Murray with 1 million (both collections purchased by the Brasillian collector Zero Freitas ( https://thevinylfactory.com/features/insi... | |
| Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer P.S. I am 64 and have many years of collecting. I also have a normal life, career and family. I have other interests as well. I moved last year to a large home which enabled me to house my collection as well as 3500+ books. If I were starting ... | |
| Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer My parents started buying records for me at 2 before I spoke. By 5, I had 300 records (classical, childrens and 50s R&R). Through the years, I purchased from stores and collections. One ethnic collection of unused 78s was purchased from a s... | |
| Who's Gone Topless? The top was metallic and kept the interior hot. Replacing it with a non-ferrous plexiglass with ample ventilation was a superior choice, sounds the same as topless. | |
| Who's Gone Topless? The sides and bottom are one piece, luckily. I am using Stillpoints UltraSS for isolation and vibration control. They work. I tried nearly a dozen other products but they either were too dark and slow or too bright and thin. Stillpoints UltraS... | |

| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? I agree that R2R is a great format. My 1980s recordings are really low noise and have the breath of real life. I have dozens of 1950s pre-recorded 2 and 4 track 7.5 ips tapes that are super dynamic and open sounding. I also have about 100 1960s... | |
| Who's Gone Topless? I replaced the solid but thin metal top cover of my preamp and phono pre as I assume the vibration and metal obfuscated the sound. I replaced them with a plexiglass cover, secured the same way and with air holes for temperature relief. I did not... | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? I am 64. My hearing is nearly flat to 15khz. As a child/teen, my hearing went out to 20-30Khz, probably due to my asthma (bronchial conditions in children often result in hearing high frequencies). Unfortunately, I also was bothered by buzzing... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I placed my E-Mats on the back of the speakers covering the rather large crossover electronics. Not in back of the drivers. | |
| When Did Your System Disappear? My system is high end but the speakers are always present. The sound based on the OP has the sound disappear but I have found that there is an identifiable speaker location for many recordings. Sure, mono recordings can fill the room from wall t... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Again geofkaitt you don't read. Tim told Frank specifically, not to use his PPT products near or on magnets. They don't work. I never said that the E-Mats or any PPT products contain magnets or work on magnetic principles. Where PPT products w... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies PPT products XXXX Magnets - Not a match + simple to comprehendI forgot that the E-Mats also went on the rear of my speakers over the crossovers. That had a positive sonic effect without a negative effect. No magnets there either (sufficiently ... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Also, my refrigerator is set 10% higher temperature setting since installing the E-Mat on the main and subpanel breaker boxes since early 2019. Maybe it does make the power more efficient. |
