| Ingress Audio Engineering I used to buy bluestone 18”x18”x3” slabs at Home Depot for around $20 each. Dunno about availability in other locations. Everything you never wanted to know about bluestone, Bluestone is quarried in western New Jersey, Pennsylvania and eastern New... | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? I already explained that the building and everything in it - including the cement slab - are vibrating right along with the Earth crust motion, at frequencies between 0 Hz and 20 Hz and higher. The peak frequency of Earth crust motion is around 1-... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! I don’t think Julian Hirsch was a fraud. What he said, that amps that measure the same generally sound the same is more true than false. Especially 40 years ago. Besides, most high end amp designers today don’t think wire matters. No big deal, | |
| Acoustic treatment In the case of the much maligned CD not very much of the bass frequencies are coming through anyway so what’s the difference? | |
| Furutech fuse millercarbonBecause the plain fact of the matter is nobody really knows why hardly any of this stuff works. If they did they’d all be doing it. Like take aerodynamics. Pretty much everyone knows why airplanes fly. The result is they all look so mu... | |
| Ingress Audio Engineering It’s easier to get better “action” for the set-up with four springs, all things being equal. By “action” I mean how easy it is to put the top plate and component into smooth vertical up and down motion by bouncing the top plate manually. For moder... | |
| Acoustic treatment Size isn’t everything. I just got through explaining it. Hel-loo! | |
| Trouble joining "Insider"? I will not run if nominated and will not serve if elected. | |
| Magnetic Footers You must require an extra large dose. | |
| Magnetic Footers I made my own magnetic levitation stand 25 years ago. It’s not rocket science. 🚀 Speaking of the pharmaceutical industry somebody might need a little medication. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge. We got your dynamics right here! Their first album on Virgin Records and the first w/o Bill Wyman.Dead Can Dance Spiritchaser. Fantastic bass performance, I can feel it though the whole body. On Sony Walkman earbuds. ... | |
| Acoustic treatment Helmholtz resonators’ effective frequency is a function of volume of the bottle, the diameter of the nozzle and the length of the nozzle so even a Coke bottle can be converted into a tube trap. It’s not rocket science! 🚀 The problem arises at show... | |
| Trouble joining "Insider"? I’m waiting for the Outsider Club. | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? For an iso stand stiffness is highly desirable for the top plate since a stiff top plate better resists bending forces, I.e., rotational seismic forces. This is why 3” maple boards sound better - generally speaking - than 1” maple boards. They’re ... | |
| Ingress Audio Engineering Uneven loads are handled by moving one or more spring slightly so the load is equally distributed among the springs. |
