| Media Room - flooring I would have thought cork would be pretty good at damping the high frequencies. But since some people say that it doesn't, it is probably due to the harder finish that is now being put on cork to help with its durability.When you say that you don'... | |
| On a scale of 1-5 Three and threeThey're not 100% accurate as my responses, but they're the closest out of the choices given. | |
| Building through the mail??? Unless you're building a home theatre, or have a very small pair of monitors, I always suggest it is better to have a good full range speaker than a speaker with subs added. I would save the money and not buy the subs at this point. | |
| New TT/cart question Not quite sure what you mean. You're supposed to "hear music from the cartridge". That's what they do. However, the output is low so that we send the signal into an amplifier. I don't mean for that to sound sarcastic. I'm assuming your old Shure c... | |
| Best/Cheapest/Easist Way To Burn CD's? There are plausible theories as to why recorded CDs sound better, not worse, than the original. I don't remember the technical explanation, but I remember reading about it in Stereophile about ten years ago. There's a fair amount of information on... | |
| Beatles covers: better than originals? A lot of the early, popular Beatles' tunes are themselves covers.In my view, your question really has absolutely no answer. Whether something is "better" to one person in terms of musical enjoyment is totally, utterly subjective.With this in mind ... | |
| Sending my Linn LP 12 Transcription Globally Unless packing has changed, the hinges come off the dust cover and the counterweight comes off the arm. When you remove the counterweight, if the rubber O rings on the arm are old and dry, they may tear off though and may have to be replaced. You ... | |
| Whats wrong-right? My first computer was a Mac and I loved it compared to the PC's of the day. It was the mid '80's. You had Mac with a mouse and a GUI interface, or else a DOS based written text command PC. No mouse or Windows at that point. It was hard not to see ... | |
| Should I use a reciever with Majik140s? I don't want to discourage you from getting the speakers first if you really like them. I put together my system with the speakers first simply because that's the order in which the products I wanted came up on the used market. However, the 140's ... | |
| Opinions on a Revolver I'll second what Jaybo said. Revolver was a good basic table when it was made. It would have competed against tables like the Rega Planar 2. | |
| Should I use a reciever with Majik140s? Whether it is a waste of the speakers will depend on what you get. I think that what Linn would recommend, and I certainly don't speak for them, is that you invest in the front end and work your way downstream, rather than start with the speakers.... | |
| HDMI Cable Questions You might find this interesting.http://reviews.cnet.com/hdmi-guide/?tag=prmo1It discusses the differences between HDMI 1.2 and HDMI 1.3 | |
| To Repair or Replace An economist would say this is a simple decision. If you can buy something you like just as well for $350 or less, then replace. If something else costs more than $350, then repair.However, you should also factor in that even with a new laser, you... | |

| Speakers that have wide horizontal dispersion Look at omnipolar speakers (not bipoles or dipoles), such as those by Mirage. Here's a link to their site for further information.http://www.miragespeakers.com/v2/evolution.php |
