| Loft floorplan / listening area - please critique Unless you have really small speakers, bedroom two is too small. If you get the MBL's then it is completely out of the question! The first thing that grabs my attention is you speaker placement. You have what appears to be two big windows close be... | |
| Build my own speakers? Unless you are a cabinet maker, and finisher, your speakers are not going to look good when done. I have built lots of furniture so i know what I ca and can't do... Do you?There are lots of general ideas on how to build speakers, but very few spec... | |
| For best CD playback is SACD needed? Hdomke why ask the question since you appear to have made up your mind. My experience with most if not all of these engineering societies is that they have also made up their minds and will go through any gymnastics to prove their conclusion. I ha... | |
| Differences in electric outlets You really opened a can of worms that tends to bring out the worst in people...I have used several better outlets and have found all of them to be worthwhile. The PS Audio aren't bad but for the money I'd opt for porterports (available here from A... | |
| needle problem I immediately suspected the suspension had failed, but it could be a tracking force issue...Tracking force you can fix, suspension... well, you're in trouble...Is it possible that the cantilever is bent? Did you drop the arm onto a record?How does... | |
| vibration and resonance I don't think cork is the answer. There are applications in which I'm sure it will help. If you're having the problems you describe, I'm sure a lot of that is getting back to your gear. Treating symptoms is not the best solution. You won't like th... | |
| GIRL NEWBIE As twisted as it sounds to say this, don't ignore places like Goodwill, or St Vincent DePaul. My brother-in-law got a pair of B&W Matrix 1 for $8.00!The problem you are going to have is knowing good from bad, oh wait that's a different sermon.... | |

| Soundsmith Strain Gage Cartridge system John, any more thoughts now that you've spent some more time with the SoundSmith and the Strain Gauge??? Oo. | |
| An Audiophile Goal Bob these are just my knee-jerk thoughts on reading your post, they are of no value! 1) 20-20,000 Hz flat response has a lot less to do with your gear than it does your room!2) 20-20,000 Hz while looking good on paper is rarely enjoyable for liste... | |

| What is the optimal temperature/humidity for audio Vegasrear, you can read all you want on AA, I'm not an alcoholic, and I don't post on any other audio websites other than audiogon, so how would anyone there know what a jerk I am???If you are ever in Wisconsin, I would be happy to step out from b... | |
| What is the optimal temperature/humidity for audio I have never heard on that didn't sound dry and brittle... your ears must be soo much better than mine!Oo. | |
| What is the optimal temperature/humidity for audio High humidity makes the system sound dry and brittle. If your source is a CDP then you probably don't mind since that's how they sound anyway. I have to run a humidifier in my room during the winter, or the system is almost unlistenable! My main s... |
