| Tube traps I used the DIY John Risch traps acoustic panals and rooms lenses receipe. I found them to perform very well and if one takes the time when constucting them, they will be happy with their apprearance as well. If you are interested in some pics, let... | |
| Are floating walls and ceilings THAT important? Twc,My dedicated sound room has what you mention as floating walls. I used 5/8 drywall for the inside walls, screws spaced every four inches and used a sound blocking product to help elimate my music from leaking into the house between the two wal... | |
| Will cheater rob my PC's? Kenl,I'd try a cheater plug only on the Diavolo amp when pluging it into your PS Audio surge protector and then try removing the PS Audio piece altogether. If that does not work, try a cheater on the REL and on both amps and sub. Try disconnecting... | |
| Will cheater rob my PC's? Kenl,I had the same problem with my REL Stadium III. I was using a Parasound 2200 2-channel amp and a Parasound 2203 3-channel amp for HT. When running the REL off my 2203, I had no hum at all. Running off the 2200, resulted in a horrible ground l... | |
| 2 channel system, would a sub be friend or foe? I'm in agreement with Stehno. I also considered adding a sub to my system only because of the introduction of movies and home theater. With 2-Channel audio, the low end of my system was more than satisfactory with the Thiel 22's. When I choose my ... | |
| Thiel or Meadowlark? Captpenny,I almost had a situtation like yours where I currently own a pair of Thiel 22's and moved into a smaller listening room (17x15x7). I decided to keep the 22's and so far am happy that I did. However, your scenerio was quite similar to min... | |
| Which headphones should be purchased? I have a pair of Etymotics 4S and a Headroom Amp. Noise cancellation is second to none. Sound quality is a good as any headphone period, it's all personal prefernce. When you have great noise cancellation, you won't have to play your music at high... | |
| which headphones??? I've had Sennheisers, Grados, Etymotics and the best from Sony. In my opinion, nothing is better than the Etyomtics for islolation, comfort, travel and most important sound. Because these are ear buds, most don't consider them because of how they ... | |
| HT room new construction - room treatments, etc Jeff,I recently constructed a sound room/HT and built my own room tunning devices. I also isolated my sound room from my family and neighbors. The best way to keep the sound from escaping is to build a room inside a room. I did this and left a 1" ... | |
| Choosing a SACD player...please help I was in your position and contemplated all SACD players that have been mentioned. I choose the Marantz SA14. From all the posts on Audiogon and Threads on AA, I believe all information suggests that for Redbook CD playback, the Marantz SA14 wins ... | |
| Best Buy or Good Value in a Transport CD Dekay,Thanks for your feedback. It appears to me that the motor that spins the CD is starting to go. It has a hard time engaging and once it gets going, I dies in the middle of playing. It may play for as long as an entire CD but as little as 30 s... | |
| which amp is the best for 2 channel and HT? Minthous:The EAD PM 2000 is an outstanding 5 channel amp that actually bridges when in a 2-channel mode. I however like others have noted would opt for the best 2-channel amp I could afford and settle on a decent 3-channel for my center and surrou... | |
| plasma versus lcd Both have Pros and Cons. Plasma has a better viewing angle (160 degrees), has a faster refresh rate when viewing video, durable screen, and is less expensive in this size range. On the negative side, possible phospher burn-in, reflective glare, al... | |
| Do I need a new pre-amp? Makofkalaw,I just had to verify myself at the EAD users site:http://eadusers.cjb.net/It verifies what I thought about your signiture. It states that it has 6 analog and 6 digital inputs, 5 coaxial, and one toslink. You may need the users manual to... | |
| Do I need a new pre-amp? I own a EAD TheaterMaster Classic and I do believe all EAD HT processors have an analog pass through for 2-channel use. In fact it should have a few of them as well as a few digital inputs. Your preamp is very capable of being used as a high end 2... |
