| tapestries and posters help with sound absorption? The tapestry may help a little. Consider some framed, dense fiberglass (Owens Corning) covered with your choice of material. Colored burlap is the best choice. These fiberglass panels are 2' x 4' and available in 1" and 2" thicknesses. | |
| Smooth, "Film Like" Treble: Happiness At Last... CW,This happens all the time. Fuji film exagerates colors. Car manufacturers gear econoboxes so they seem to actually have something that resembles power on a demo around the block. The miracle shampoo you buy that works well the first time but bu... | |
| Who Are You? or should I say "who were you?" I sometimes think I'm the only person in Idaho that loves music enough to invest in quality home playback. I'm a two channel guy and, like Twl, spin vinyl. I do have a CDP to play back the small digital software selection I own. About 30 years ago... | |
| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? This site is near perfection. Let's keep in mind that this is a business model and that the features we enjoy the most are meant to keep us coming back. It's a rare finished product that maintains viewer interest and makes money. They have done it... | |
| Is Remote Control Important? Performance is the top priority. I must admit that I like my remote for the same reasons as stated by others but I wouldn't miss it if it were gone. I still shift gears in my real car. | |
| What was your latest LP find?? Lanman,I don't have a clue what the album is worth. Open it up and play it. Elvis memorabilia will always be desireable opened or not. Tom, thanks for the positive feedback. Do wa ditty ditty dittos. :)Happy listening,Patrick | |
| Hard Disk Playback Systems Onhwy61,You get no argument from me on anything you said. I didn't elaborate but "most" audiophiles want all kinds of tweaks to be done to their CDP's such as isolation feet, high-zoot interconnects, aftermarket power cords, on and on. I doubt tha... | |
| Hard Disk Playback Systems The cost of the Linn keeps me from seriously considering such a move. The computer based systems are not good enough for most audiophiles. | |
| OT: Windows XP Update Service Pack 1 Thanks Sean, I passed with flying colors...a tribut to Nortons. If anyone would like to check their computer performance go to www.pcpitstop.com and run the check. This is a very helpful tool to tune up the speed of your machine. | |
| Audio photo gallery for A-gon members I know it's a little early but happy birthday Scott. | |
| Linn's Ninka speaker: Anyone heard it?? The Ninka's haven't gotten very favorable reviews. I have heard them Aktiv and liked them. Used Aktiv 5140's would be the best bet if it fits your budget. | |
| What was your latest LP find?? A friend brought over 42 boxed sets of classical, jazz and big band LP's yesterday and GAVE them to me. Most look to be unplayed. There's even a boxed set of country music that begins in the 20's and works by decade through the mid 70's. I'm overw... | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? I'd rather be lucky than good any day. My marriage proves it. My wife has never complained about any audio component I have owned. She has never taken issue with my demand for a home with concrete floor for the audio room. She has encouraged me to... | |
| Dirt on my stylus.....what to do? Albert is right on with the Record Research LP#9. I've been using it for ten years or more. One bottle will last most of a lifetime. | |
| Turntable/Cartridge/Phono Stage questions I'm pretty certain all B&O cartridges are moving magnet and yes, you will need a phono stage. The Sumiko is a decent budget piece. Any bets on how long it will take you to upgrade?? Have fun! |
