What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?
Synergistic Research HFT may transform your room, but they probably don't do much to improve the acoustics.Funniest thing I read here in a long time. Much as I'd love to write, just have to sit back and revel in the absurdity. Thanks. Made my day. 
2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions
My system is pure audiophile stereo with a 9 foot screen for the best movie sound I ever heard. Well the 5 sub distributed bass array does help a bit.Anyway, what I do is send the video straight from the source to the projector via HDMI, and the s... 
Diving into the world of tubes...help needed!
Ditch tone control. Ditch separates. Add Raven integrated to the list.You'll get far more for your audio dollar with integrated vs separates. Prima Luna is European based made in China. Good luck with that.Raven is all American and with outstandin... 
No binding post/ Amp hardwired to speaker wire. Anyone tried it
To do that you have to be able to operate a soldering iron.Did you know there’s enough voltage in an amp to kill you even if its not plugged in?You just voided your warranty.Which direction did you solder?I sure hope you used lead-free solder. Lea... 
What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?
If you’re looking for simplistic old school acoustic treatment you can do every bit as good as GIK only faster and for a tiny fraction of the cost stretching whatever fabric you like over Owens Corning acoustic panel. In fact if you look at their ... 
How many times have you ...
That makes the touting of “original master tapes” as the source of dubious value except to the hot stamper crowd.  The lack of talent or technique in the pressing is keeping us from original copy quality which is readily available regardless of ... 
Listening in mono
Setup exactly the same as for stereo good mono will float an image in between the speakers that is surprisingly captivating. Not a point, more of a sphere.As far as preference goes, I think it has more to do with the music than the fact its mono. ... 
Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only)
Little pieces of this puzzle keep coming in. I can’t afford and don’t have the equipment to drive a subwoofer...but would a more full range (i.e. floor standing) speaker be a better choice when I do decide to upgrade next? When the subject is ... 
How many times have you ...
That’s exactly what they do. Its natural to assume that pressing a record is so perfect a process that what you get is down to the quality of the master tape used. Natural, but wrong. Not even close. In spite of buying lots of MFSL and other "audi... 
Speaker-ish related question (Crates)
Completely disassembled mine lay flat and take up little attic space. But its really just plywood and maybe some fasteners. Since you can't store, take pictures and measurements, save as much of fasteners and padding as you can, and toss the rest.... 
Can two subwoofers reduce a bass problem?
Yes. Here's why.The reason we have to move subs around is one sub always causes lumpy bass, some areas way louder than others. So you move the sub trying to find the least lumpy location. Which changes constantly depending on the frequency. This h... 
Turntable recommendations
Kuzma table, Origin Live arm, whichever combination of models you can afford. $4k table, $5k arm, etc. How do you like your Soundsmith? Moving iron seems the way to go. 
Furtech Fl-32MR or Qyaide M1 AC/IEC plug ends?
ESL? 
Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d
Thanks sfar, I have been thinking of upgrading my Melody I880 amp which while still a very fine amp you never know until you look ... and after reading a bunch of reviews wow does Raven look good! It just leaped over Prima Luna to the top of the l... 
Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only)
Well you've certainly taken all the right steps to narrow it down, so good on you. With a lot of the most likely culprits eliminated we are down to only a very few good options left. One being, its perfectly normal flutter, you're just not used to...
