| Reduce Floor Vibration?? I live in an apartment. Following up on George's advice, you may want to go for the ultimate in near field and move the speakers right next to your head. There are plenty of high-end headphone products out there to experiment with, it's cheaper, and you don't have to wor... | |
| Progressive talk Anyone heard of Henry Cow? I just read a (new!?) review of them, looking for some other opinions. | |
| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? Heh, if you like listening to sine waves check out the group Pan sonic. (nee Panasonic; Matsushita wasn't happy)Anyway, I got an idea one day. I hooked up an old toy Casio keyboard (SK1, good for circuit bending) and messed around for a while. The... | |
| Techno Anyone? I've had Druqks (or whatever ;) on my to buy list for a while. Many people complained that it didn't really break away from his other stuff, but that's exactly why I want it. I only have SAW2 (on CD, I have numerous mp3s) so Drukqs can act as a co... | |
| Completely passive audio system... Seriously though. I wonder what you would get if modern manufactures with modern design and materials produced a gramophone or victrola. Low mass materials (or high mass, I dunno) and fancy acoustics could get you more volume, a fancy stylus more ... | |
| "Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ? There's a Board's of Canada song "ROYGBIV" that will burrow into your head and just live there. Beautiful and damn catchy.Running further off topic: I strongly recomend Plaid. I only have "Not For Threes", but it's great music with totaly audiophi... | |

| Rap music on high-end speakers Kevziek, I hope you are a troll, cause if so you're brilliant.The way you conflate hatred of the people playing the music with the music itself is the point. Hell, I usually can't stand those car sub woofer systems either.Anyway, 'Rap' like any ot... | |
| Best 1,000 complete system for girlfriend ideas I wouldn't go overboard. Whatever you get you probably aren't going to be able to set the speakers/room up properly. The speakers will almost certainly end up flush against a wall and off axis from the listening position. This rules out anything r... | |
| Isolation Sand Boxes Well of course it's lifeless, you aren't using audiophile quality sand. Do yourself a favor and drop $500 for a couple pounds of Silentra Mass V sand.I recently upgraded to their Diagrit series, best $1500 I ever spent. The imaging prolems that ha... | |
| Does Your Computer Sound Like a Jet Engine????? Oh, water is the way to go.I'm using a 250 GPH Danner with a Danger Den Maze 2 (my home made block worked quite well until the lexan split...) and the standard Chevette heater core, plumbed in 1/2", although I'll probably go 5/8" for the short run... | |
| Why do cables need break-in? Could someone please produce some sources for this? Like, not from people selling cables. | |

| PC to ext. DAC? The back of your CD-ROM drive should have SPDIF out. | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Bravo Trappist. Just don't take it to far is all I ask. |
