| Panels to treat a vaulted ceiling? another comment after my above post - Don't buy anything until you have diagnosed the problem. If you equip yourself with strips of material e.g towels, rags, or even cheap foam pads of reasonable thickness and spend a day taping it to various par... | |
| Panels to treat a vaulted ceiling? I have very similar room and ceiling issues and have found that the most effective way to defeat reverberance is with floor-to-ceiling tube traps. This is not likely to be an option for you, but an inwall treatment like the Corning system may work... | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check If there is one thing that we have learned from the past few years on the internet, it is that some things can be sold this way, some cannot. Remember the dot com bubble?Audio on the internet is a by-product of the established 2-channel dealer-bas... | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check High end audio is composed primarily of garage size ventures, plus a few handfuls of medium sized companies. The typical product made by a high end company sells a few hundred units per year. A runaway success is something that sells over a thousa... | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check Judit, You should continue to buy used or internet only, and stick to advice and information from internet forums. This is your choice. The serious contradiction is when you try to use a dealer's knowledge and facilities for auditioning, then go e... | |
| High end vs internet I would offer one comment in defense of most dealers on the subject of arrogance, lack of great courtesy, and all that. Consider that many people contributing to A'gon leave after a certain number of years and repetitions of the same topic threads... | |
| High end vs internet I agree with Tok2000's first 3 points but the 5th is wrong. There are some very fine dealerships in the Bay Area that are trying to do a signficant high end music business, not just ht. There is no way a store owner can pay salaries and overhead o... | |
| Our 2003 Las Vegas CES and T.H.E. Show Report Curious - are products 'ubiquitous' because exhibitors all request them, or because their makers are promoting them unsolicited? | |

| The Year of the Universal Player I don't think the Muse model 10 plays SACD, just the CD layer of a hybrid. Could be wrong, but I don't believe there are any Sony decoder chips in there.Wadia was alive two weeks ago when I heard one at a local dealer. | |
| The Year of the Universal Player On the point about software, there should be a snowball effect. More hardware creates more demand for good software. If I were a hi-rez indie, I think I'd be pretty happy right now. | |
| 2003 CES Show Report from Father & Son Audio Dear Fs, How about splitting your report into a couple of files. Your current file took ~25 minutes to download with 56k modem, dialup!!! | |
| what power conditioner? Equitech ET1.5Q , ET2Q, or higher depending on your total power needs. Very good for video quality as well as audio, provides balanced power and surge protection. Also designed to handle many components comfortably.Depending on your budget, you mi... | |
| CES 2003 - Any Audition/Picture Requests? Fs_audio, Please mention any comments on the sonic qualities of the Linn, Lexicon, and McCormack universal players if you heard them. Thx. | |
| Phase and time alligned speakers Judit, It's good that you are asking the question in an engineering context. As stated, your question is too broad for a simple answer, but I suggest that you pose a similar question on one or more of the specialty forums at Audio Asylum (speakers... |
