Can I Live With A Hardwood Floor?
Thanks folk freak your suggestions help significantly however wool rugs are too expensive (based on my knowledge) for my current budget however other organic fibers can be found. So I'll keep visiting Craig's List in hope of finding a good deal.ge... 
Can I Live With A Hardwood Floor?
Speaking of fuses, I added a Synergistic Research Black to my Ayre QB 9 DSD. Then I added an Akiko XLR Tuning Stick. I'm very impressed with the Akiko products. They've also come out with Tuning Chips and I'm thinking that the Speaker Tuning Chips... 
Can I Live With A Hardwood Floor?
Thanks Randy. I was thinking that the rug needed to extend behind the speakers as well as in the front. What about the sides. how far to each side would you suggest? 
HH Scott 350 A Tuner Repair
I've decided to use a different tech than originally planned. Someone more capable of working on tuners whom I shall not mention but a venerated member of this online community. Thanks! 
Multiplex Microphonics HH Scott 350 A
Maybe I should rephrase my question; does anyone have an idea as to where the high pitched ringing sound is coming from when I turn on the Scott 350 A stereo selector? Does anyone have an idea as to what needs to be done in order to fix it?Thanks ... 
Dick's / Dave's picks
ifmywormsdidglow (tee-hee) I totally get that. The vibe of the crowd, which city, what decade, these things are definitely compromised.

Anyone, if you could pick one show from Dick's and one show from Dave's, which would you choose?

But it makes one wonder just how long these folk are willing to sit on these tapes? I can pretty much bet that they aren't being collected for the shear love of owning them.

Certainly jond however Rhino, or even better MOFI, or even better Analogue Productions, could bring those tapes to a different level than what we're already familiar with. But yes, I remember that Cornell University tape sounding terrific. I can o...

That May 1977 period is hard to find on a CD that isn't a bootleg. The Cornell show, the Boston show before it and the Buffalo show after are being slighted in my opinion. I wish Dave would find a way to release these on Rhino.

I'm all over the place when it comes to live Dead recordings. But at this stage of my development, I'm hoping to collect the Europe 72 box set. Recently, a friend of mine ripped me a version of the Cincinnati Riverbed show from the 30 Trips set. T... 
What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why?
I have Quads so that's enough for me when it comes to the ESL's. Maybe I'd have a pair of speakers made using baffled cabinets and Western Electric die cast horns but then I'd have to buy a fork lift. I daydream about the Harbeth line, so their hi... 
A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game
Sorry to get into this thread at such a late hour. Hi Lewm, long time no see. I just purchased a Grado Statement Sonata Mono MKII and for what I listen to, it's wonderful. Right now I'm spinning my Archive Productions Elizabethan Songs and the voc... 
Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks
It would be too much for me to part with my ASR Emitter II Exclusive version Blue amp. I'd probably choose a different pair of speakers if it came to that.However, I need to be careful! 
Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks
That's interesting and I do know that even valve amps blew up ESL's on a regular basis. So this must have been Quad's reassuring answer to a farsighted concern.The 2905's are supposed to shut down when they detect loud volumes but my amp has alway...
