| Best Value Speakers?? Maggie 1.6QR vs. Vandy 2CE SIG vs. Meadowlark Kestrel; I ought the Kestrels. JMHO, YMMV, LMNOP. | |
| Need suggestion in speaker cable Look at Sakura Sysytems Ota Cable Kit thread- Redkiwi and DEkay haven't heard the Mapleshade double Helix and I haven't heard the OTA but our impressions are so similar and we agree that each is far ahead of "traditional" cables like Coincident, D... | |
| Corner hanging speakers - okay? Weird? Wait a minute! .....No less an authority than the great Dr. Amar Bose highly recommends hanging the 901's from the ceiling on chains, even shows you where the eyehooks should go. Anybody else remember those ads? | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Aaaahhh, Avus, 1936, now that was a race! | |
| brulee fails PC challenge Asa- sounds like Heisenberg at work here. The tests don't work because you disturb the subject by testing it! As Professor Kenn Amdahl wrote in "There Are No Electrons: Electronics For Earthlings", "Who's moving around inside that wire? It's littl... | |
| vibrapods or cones? CJ of CJ's AudioVideo, my source for Vibrapods, has been trying to get me to try the sandwich thing with MDF. I was put off, though, because originally my flexi-rack had MDF and the system was unlistenable. The 1 1/2" thick maple shelves I use now... | |
| vibrapods or cones? David- you want to talk cheap, I've got all my wires off the floor with bits of cardboard! Not that I hear any difference. But it's de rigeur.I'm currently building a Foreplay pre-amp from Bottlehead (Electronic Tonalities). One of the big tweaks ... | |
| Bargain power conditioners Isn't Audiogon great? I've had a Monster 3500 for a long time and never gave it a thought. It was quiet and had a billion dollar lightning guarantee. But I read about the 2000 being better so I got one. EXCELLENT!Removed layers, veils and washed t... | |
| vibrapods or cones? I just today put vibrapods under my tube amp. There's a noticeable buzzing vibration when you put your hand on the base, from the transformers, I suppose. The pods should isolate that from the rack, and perhaps isolate the amp from any feedback (s... | |
| SOLDER Help Go over to AudioAsylum, search 'solder' on the Bottlehead forum. More info than you ever wanted on types and techniques. Cardas, Wonder and Radio shack lead free with 3% silver seem to be leading the league. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I was getting to the point where I was going to suggest trading speaker cables for a few weeks, double helix for OTA but now it sounds like you wouldn't want to part with it. There goes another $600. Anybody else want to split a set? | |
| SOLDER Help Dull grey is an obviously cold joint so that's what I'm going to try for from now on! | |
| Improving imaging As I've posted under 'OTA cables', I found that the height of my ears relative to the speaker height made a vast difference in imaging. Also forward and back. Try listening while sitting in an adjustable height chair. Your new room acoustics may r... | |
| Are you manufacturer's paying attention? The pig that can whistle saying pre-dates BJ Bill,Snooker, but lot's of strange things from Arkansas. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I was getting the same peripatetic (!) image with the mapleshade but it seems to have settled down now. At one point, Max Roach's drum kit moved right across the stage and the trumpets, trombones and tuba of the Cleveland Orchestra sounded like th... |
