What screen for high ambient light room?
We Already have a black out blind in the most offending window but there is spillage around it. I suspect there are better. A laser projector will fix the lumin problem. The ones I have looked at are all 3000 lumins. I think the drape would push m... 
Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers
I'll echo a few other posts. I have been using electrostatic speakers since 1978. Tube amps just do not cut it with this type of speaker even if you cross over to a woofer or subwoofer. The impedance drops with increasing frequency and they are es...

Thanxforresponding!Distance is 18 feet. What ever normal is. I am an encyclopedia of Hi Fi information and the reciprocal when it comes to video.   
Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus
Montaldo. Fill up a little glass jar with 3/4 91% Isopropyl alcohol, 1/4 distilled water. Get a small soft artist's brush, dip it in your solution and brush the stylus and cantilever clean. Go no further than 1/2 way up the cantilever. You can bru... 
Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter
Wanna see something reeeeeally scary? Put a Koetsu Rosewood in a Transcriptors Vestigial tonearm and watch it pogo back and forth across the record at 30 Hz.  
Hate to do this again. Start over. Class d
Wow, Class D is a cheap easy way to pump out amplifiers and get a piece of the action. You dress it up in a fancy chassis spew out some marketing and you are in for some bucks. You want a fabulous amp for the money? Get a Benchmark AHB2. I have ab... 
Phonostage preamp HELP
Also make sure your loading is correct!! 
Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter
Just Twice? Shoot, I've been doing this since 1958 and I can't count how many times a tone arm has gotten away from me. Happened just the other day and with a Clearaudio Da Vinci no less. I've never had a cartridge damaged by this. It just looks a... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Never buy anything from a human that is trying to sell you something. They are way too dangerous. Chord? Are you kidding me? The difference between Pass and Curl designs is that they actually care what their amps sound like and they actually know ... 
The most important factor in soundstage imaging
Hi phomchick,It is a wonderful experience to listen to a system that has a holographic image. You are right. Reflected sound particularly the early louder reflections can wreak havoc particularly with point source radiators. This is the largest ad... 
Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion
Imaging is science. Our stereos are using our own physiology to trick us into believing that a sound is coming from a certain direction and distance by juggling phase and volume. This only occurs in a line perpendicular to the axis between the spe... 
Tool fan needs help with speakers (and electronics)
jpaz, I hate to be the barer of bad news but that is a very big room. It is unlikely that you are going to do Tool justice with $5000. If you could find an old pair of K horns and slap something like the Benchmark AHB2 on them you would get the vo... 
Differences between cd transports?
atstel, I do not know why you bother. When humans have no idea what is going on they mythologize and they hold their myths dear even if they are patently absurd. If you back them up against a wall they just get nasty.
