| Cost to treat a room? If you treat your room properly you should be able to tune around system changes by adjusting speaker placement and toe in. If that doesn't do it then removing or adding treatment can be done.After treating your room you are most likely going to w... | |
| Cost to treat a room? GIK is great for the money. Real traps start getting pricey but they are well built, their web site is worth a visit just for the info on room treatment they provide.Just start with the mirror points on each side wall between you and the speakers.... | |

| Tube Diagnosis Bit the bullet and called Andy. He is great. NOS set of amperex super low noise a-frames on the way to try and decided to test out a pair of Mullard cv-4004s for in the 12AX7 slots.Tube rolling is fun, but damn I wish they were $10 like the old days. | |
| Tube Diagnosis Tried cleaning the pins last night, no dice. Looks like I am going to try and get a NOS pair. Real bummer as it is just enough noise to annoy me but the tube still sounds great otherwise.I was able to dig up another pair of 6922's to swap in for t... | |

| Standmount speakers - alternatives to spikes? I'm drawing a blank on the name but there is a spike that has floor protector built in. Not attached but it moves with the spike if you pick it up. They advertise in Sterophile...Oh here, I think this is themhttp://www.tnt-audio.com/accessories/su... | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? I haven't tried everything but will second the idea of Porter Ports. Really nice upgrade over my Hubble hospital grades and tonally neutral but improvement in impact, dynamics, noise background, ad soundstage.Worth the money to try them and resell... | |

| New Beatles remasters The best way for me to sum up the quality of these remasters is that they are not just fantastic sounding for the time they are some of the most fantastic sounding pop Cds in my collection.The natural warmth and glow of the vocals with the solid f... | |
| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread Damn, I'm waiting for my monos in the mail.I have listened to Mono versions from LP (Purple Chick) and the differences with the stereo versions are significant. The bass is really special on the monos and a general more rocking feel. There are var... | |
| Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" Remasters I have actually noticed the dominant vocals thing on a few other reissues in the last few years. I think they are doing it as a scary portion of the population just rips the cd to itunes and they want the vocals to stand out after being mangled.Th... | |
