| small room big sound I went to the RMAF in Denver last year to audition speakers. The show this year, occurs next month. It's obviously, a 12-14 hr. drive from Vegas, but as we found last year, when we went from Denver to Vegas, it sure is a beautiful drive -- especia... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System "FWIW, careful set up of well designed conventional speakers in a good room can improves on anything that dipoles can do."Generalizations may allow one to minimize variables and more easily formulate a conclusion; however, as in life and this hobb... | |

| How to protect turntable from children? My wife created a fabric cover that went over the acrylic cover of my (at the time) Thorens TT. Around that and the bottom of the TT, we wrapped a piece of elastic with Velcro closure. The fabric blocked the TT from view and limited its intrigue. ... | |
