| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers I wish they would make the cup with 1 inch spikes or adjustable spike lengths to fix the problem of contacting the speakers to the sub floor with thicker carpet and pads. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers emcdade, that is my concern. My carpet and pad is about an inch thick uncompressed. If the carpet spikes are 15mm, I'm not sure the carpet and pad will compress enough to made solid contact with the subfloor. It looks like the spikes aren't lon... | |
| Soundproofing Double sheet rock on resilient channel is the way to go. Also, filling the space with the recommended insulation. The installation of the sheetrock on the channel needs to be perfect. Any stray screws into the structure will defeat the purpose ... | |
| VIENNA ACOUSTICS- DIE MUSIC I have the Liszt rather than the music. I have a 70 cycle or so hump. The main cabinet is toed in and the midrange / tweeter is toed in more to the listening position. I started with the speakers wider apart as recommended by VA, but I have slo... | |
| Duelund 12AWG speaker wire sheathing With the Duelund you need to be carful not to abrade the fabric covering. I just had a person on the other end hold with the wires together while I carefully wound some loose twists. Someone said you could start in the middle and wind opposite d... | |

| Duelund 12AWG speaker wire sheathing I have a loosely twisted pair without any sheathing and am using the KLEI banana plugs. They sound very good and several of our audio club members are also using the 12ga. wire. | |
| Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions I used the 16ga for my turntable RCA interconnect. I added a copper braided shield using the KLEI absolute harmony plugs. It was a tight fit but sounds very good. | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? So I have used the KLE absolute harmony rca's and Duelund 16ga wire for making interconnects. I also incorporated a braided shield since I was using the interconnect for a turntable. They are very easy to use in an unshielded version but when us... | |
| Kudos to Dan Wright of Modwright Dan is a great provider. I am on my third different unit from him and he is always willing to go the extra mile to provide service and insight. | |
| Turntable cuing light mgolpoor, good tip on the magnets. Mine is clamped on the back of the rack the furthest point from the cartridge. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat hifiman5,It was in place on top of the player for 3 days. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat A friend gave me mat on loan to try. Used it on my CD player. There was no difference when using it. I generally like trying tweaks but this one really stumped me on the cost vs. the value. | |
| Soundproofing Another important consideration is to make sure any air gaps are sealed with acoustic caulk when framing for example. HVAC noise can be reduced by inserting a "box" in the line that is lined with 703 insulation. These techniques and more worked ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! I usually purchase the sacd's if the price gap isn't too great. They do sound better, not vastly better, but noticeable. |
