Acoustics and chair
Toddnkaya, I am guilty of having one of the electronic leather theater recliners. It is a single chair and very comfortable since it has a variable foot rest adjustment due to the motor. I was actually more concerned about having a footstool in fr... 
Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?
Routerman21, Please keep us posted. There are folks on the sidelines looking forward to you observations. I live in Washington state and have had two of Modwright's Sony players. I have found Dan to be very responsive to questions and any issues a... 
Building new house need advice on a dedicated room
I would agree with the posts above about getting as much education as possible before you start. My brother and I built a recording studio and there are many opinions about that topic. "Studio Tips" is a good source for acoustic informationhttp://... 
Small Room Help
Even with the speakers on short wall you should be able to get excellent sound. What is the specific problem and do you have any acoustic treatments in the room? I would guess that you are having some lower frequency problems with the bass? 
bass traps
Brianpack,You might also check out Acoustimac. I used them and they can be viewed on my virtual system. 
Nola Metro Grand Reference Opinions
Good points above and thanks for the tip on the new Avalons. Whatever I do, some travel will be involved to find a suitable dealer. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
Nola Metro Grand Reference Opinions
Hmmm,Interesting comments so far. I know the tweeter height relative to your ear position can be critical with some designs. I have the Avalon Ascendants currently but feel that I may be giving up some transparency on the upper end with this desig... 
Taking care of lacquer wood finishes
Excellent advise by Vapor1. The cleaning cloths can cause problems if they are not absolutly clean. I have also used Zymol before but as stated in my post above I believe the Zaino show polish is a superior product based on my actual use. It's not... 
Taking care of lacquer wood finishes
Souljasmooth - If you go with a more traditional furniture polish, my Avalon speakers included a bottle of Woodleys fine furniture polish. It doesn't contain any silicones or waxes. I figure if it came with the Avalon's it must be OK. 
Taking care of lacquer wood finishes
Souljassmooth I used to have JM focal utopia speakers with a black piano gloss finish. It was a challenge to not damage the surface. The best thing I found was Zaino Z-2 show car polish. It does not leave not a film, powder and has no abrasives or... 
Diana Krall Survey
A lot opinions so far. I rather like her music partnership with Elvis Costello. I find the music interesting with a different flavor. In regards to the quality of the recordings, I'm sure a lot of folks would want to have Tommy LiPuma and Al Schmi... 
5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes
Erndog I am also using the Sophia as my 6SN7 tube and also haven't looked back for my Modwright / Sony. Jburidan I will be keeping my RCA (Mullard) as a back up to my Create tube. As a reference point I use Vintage Tube Service for any NOS stuff. ... 
5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes
I also swapped my vintage Mullard (RCA) for the Create Audio tube in my Modwright player. Right out of the box to my ears it sounded as good as the Mullard and with some run in it will only get better. The 5AR4 tubes last a long time so once you f... 
Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES
Ok I will chime in on this one. I just replaced my RCA (Mullard) with the Create tube. It sounds about the same as the Mullard, not worse, so I need to let it break in before I can really decide if it's that much different. 
Audio Arts speaker cable vs Morrow audio cable
Tom6897 how would you compare and contrast the Morrow cable to the Acoustic Zen? I have been thinking about making a speaker cable change and I have the AZ satori. Thanks
