| Problem with maple under headphone amp Got a piece of Cocoabolo as a facia for my sand box. A beautiful 2"x3" piece with a blond streak across the bottom. Polished up with bees'wax. It made the rest of my custom made thick maple racks look like bull dookie and now the stands refuse to ... | |

| Speaker stand height Speakers' beam isnt the same as speaker hight. I too set relitively low and made some 18" stands with about twelve degrees of tilt back. The low height has the driver closer to the floor boundry thus richer tone. I avoid on beam listening by havin... | |

| How does Aragon 24k/2004 stack up to modern equip? Man I wish I had a pair of Palladiums right about now. But I can see a Pass 300 sounding better for a price. The 24k meh, pretty easy to better. | |

| Subwoofer size for 1500 cubic foot room Yes I have the same sized room and one Velodyne dd10 The sub plays nicely with my Omegas but I am looking for a mate. Not for more bass but for stereo and yeah I know you cant hear bass direction below this or that frequency. I`m too tired for a d... | |
| Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it? Sold my vinyl and all my film cameras, luckly before hey lost too much value. Then late one night with too much timeon my hands I fell victim to the need to figit and tinker. The very next morning I went straight to the pound and bought two friske... | |
| using Velodyne sub in 2-channel setup? What Zman was trying to say was use the Velodyne as a center speaker . use the hi level inputs and dont run the Velodyne's output. Cross the Velodyne lo pass as low as you can for those speakers. | |
