| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? The way to build a quiet wall is not with two layers of sheet rock. You build quiet walls. These are usually made with 2 X 6 sills and staggered 2 X 4 studs each opposing wall gets it's own studs so there is no direct mechanical contact between ei... | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? I suppose it is time for me to rant.I think egenmedia is right. The dimensions and design of the room are most important when it comes to bass. I think length vs width should be at least 2 to 1 and width vs height again 2 to one or better. Leave t... | |

| An Odd Question Good mysterioso1, keep those guitars right where they are. I have a grand piano in the room. The degree to which the guitars will resonate if at all depends entirely on the volume. Same for the piano. I have stuck my head in the thing and I can't ... | |
| Any experience using a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet I made the mistake of buying two of them about 10 years back. All they did was take up space. I threw them away. | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Antinn, I prefer 100% IPA for cleaning records. That way the job never gets done.The elusive disc arm is nicely made but has one fault and that is the brush is camel hair and not near as conductive as carbon bristles. I bought one and checked it w... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Audioquest4life, my 911s will only get 8000 miles out of rear Cup 2S For every day use Michelin Sport 4S are wonderful. I get 20,000 miles on those and there is no difference in handling off track. For track use get P Zero Trofeo Rs and really bur... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Oh and pay no attention to Chakster raving on about old cartridges. He only listens to Elvis:) | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Audioquest4life, I am not particularly fond of tonearms with removable head shells (except the 4 Points) and changing cartridges is a PITA. So , for most of my life with one turntable and tonearm I kept two cartridges, my current favorite and my p... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity ebm, the Furutech Destat is just as worthless as the Zerostat. You would have to hold the thing over the record while it was playing and that will certainly interfere with your enjoyment of the music. Conductive sweep arm 20 bucks, Furutech Destat... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Daveyf, if you think the guy at any Hi Fi store is an expert at setting up a turntable you are more gullible than I thought. I have NEVER seen a turntable come from a store set up perfectly. I was not kidding you when I said I have much better too... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Lewm, just touching a neutral record will not transfer electrons without rubbing. If the record is already charged then sure. You can even see the sparks jump with the lights out.Just picking up a neutral record will in no way, shape or form put a... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Well he was certainly right about the Linn sounding better than the direct drive. Daveyf, I did not say that the Linn could not sound good, it can. I said that it is irreparably defective which it is. The plinth is poorly constructed, you can twis... | |
| Listening as a civilian Just stay away from the computer. My last surgery I wound up spending almost $1000,00 on new music! Nothing like Percs and new music:) | |
| Help with blown tweeters/power issue If you hear a hiss in your tweeters they are still working. A bad tweeter will generally give you no sound at all. The failure mode you mention is really unusual. An amps volume does not go through the ceiling without help from something, a trippe... |
