SS or Tube Amp for Sawdust Environment?
Thanks all. I think I'll stick with solid state after your suggestions...ideally a middle of the line '70s receiver and a plastic cover for those times when generating a lot of dust. The power tools don't get used but about 20% of the time. Nice n... 
Large Object Between Mini Monitors on Stands...
...'Is this large object going in the same room where you are putting the speakers on the shelf ( because there is not enough room for speaker stands ) ?'...It's already there. I'm figuring the front legs of the (steel) drafting table could be fit... 
Best JBL's you have heard
I bought a pair of L65s brand new in 1978 and have never been able to part with them. I suppose, however, the best JBL I ever heard was the Paragon (looked like an entire 1960s Philco or the like console system except it was a big speaker?). The y... 
Mini Monitors: Stands Vs Shelf Questions
..."My point is that you have basically asked this same question a few times....sure you might have changed the wording around a bit, but in the end, its still the same question."...Why is there a need to point this out? Have I run afoul of Audiog... 
Mini Monitors: Stands Vs Shelf Questions
Thanks very much for the links and input. As for the hint that I may have wasted bandwidth here, I beg to differ. A series of related questions which were spaced over time so as to avoid multiple posts per page when possible were answered thoughtf... 
Good Sounding Speaker that Won't Attract Thieves?
Somewhere in all of this is some sort of variation on "speakers that disappear".(Sorry, It's getting late and I couldn't resist.) 
Small Speakers for Small Room, Close to Back Wall?
Thanks for the suggestions, all. I'm leaning toward the Von Schweikert VR-1s and have pretty much zeroed in on a placement within the 9.5' x 12' crowded room -- They would reside on the 9.5' wall. The backs of them would have to be 22" from the wa... 
Small 4 Speaker System for Ceiling Corners?
"Magnepan-ish?I don't think so."--------------------------------------------------------Well, dag-nabbit,...lol...fail me on the final for dotting the last i in the final paragraph with a blue pen, wont'cha. Permit me to retract my taking of the n... 
No very little Compromise $20K 5CH System?
Actually the room situation is perhaps a little unusual....it's approx 22' x 12' x 8.5' adjoined by a large archway to another space approx. 16' x 18' x 8.5'h. I failed to mention that I've got JBL L65 fronts right now and if there's no improving ... 
Sibilance Problem on Digitized LPs
The cartridge is the stock Goldring one that came with the MMF-5. Don't know the exact model # offhand (1012??) but it's only about 18 months into rather light usage and the LPs played directly thru my amp sound great....no sibilance troubles unti... 
Trying to get in to vinyl, turntable suggestions?
Don't overlook the Music Hall MMF 5/5.1 for an entry level setup. While it was a couple of hundred bucks cheaper not long ago, it's still a top contender within $750 either side of its asking price.....nice arm/cartridge included in the package al... 
Any Cure for
Wow!...What a difference the Radio Paradise feed is!I wish my usual online station/feed sounded this good as it boasts an excellent Blues program on Sundays featuring much hard to find material and I live just beyond the traditional airwave fringe... 
LPs to iTunes on a Mac?
Just to update in case anyone's interested, I'm getting the vinyl into iTunes now! In my particular case, I cobbled together a transfer line between my Music Hall MMF 5 turntable and the iMac consisting of, (1) an FJB-200X phono pre-amp from BBE s... 
LPs to iTunes on a Mac?
Macdadtexas:I don't have an outboard phono pre as such. I'm hoping to run whatever connecting cables are involved out of the headphone jack of my HT Receiver like I've done with the Xitel program on my Windows based machine. On the Xitel Inport De... 
How Much Surface Noise is Too Much?
I'm surmising that styli/cartridges are pretty tough versus most run-of-the-mill record surface issues from an old brochure on the Linn LP-12 I remember reading ages and ages ago which said something to the effect of "even your battle scarred old ...
