| Boy, do I need help Only $10,000 ? ;--))Anyway, if it's OK with Roger, it has to be OK with us, right?NSG | |
| Boy, do I need help I understand everything you say, but I still feel bad that Roger has to modify HIS stuff (which I'm sure is right on the money to begin with.)I know if you follow his advice, you will be saved from cable-swapping hell and everything will sound ter... | |
| Boy, do I need help Cerrot -- so it WAS the output from the Esoteric that was a bit high? Did you ask Roger if, rather than de-sensitizing his preamp input, that maybe you should first call Esoteric and see if there is a way to lower its output?Most high-end CDP's an... | |
| WHICH TUBE AMP TO BUY Trelja -- I have to bow to your firsthand experience, for sure. And I did note the time that's passed since that article. It seems the whole world is starting to raise eyebrows over Chinese products, from toys to pharmaceuticals! | |
| WHICH TUBE AMP TO BUY Trelja -- thanks for that link. As you indicated, the article points out why most (though not all) Chinese-made products don't measure up, even though there is nothing at all wrong with their electrical (circuit) designs.What I found REALLY intere... | |
| WHICH TUBE AMP TO BUY Almost all Asian electronics (unless you're talking about WAVAC or Shindo or Kondo, or something in those price and performances ranges) are poorer quality copies of well-established western designs. Even the relatively decent stuff (like Cayin, C... | |
| Turnable Rack Vibration HDM, it's very nice of you to confirm my advice ;--) I'd further suggest that you get a thicker piece of acrylic (definitely 5/8 or even 3/4), and do bond the sandwich together under pressure. If you do that, then try flipping the sandwich over (b... | |
| WHICH TUBE AMP TO BUY I have the McIntosh. What speakers are you thinking about because with that room (depending on the particular speakers) you might want to have two 275's in mono. You have a nice sized room -- big enough to place speakers on the long wall (recommen... | |
| Using an herbal vaporizer around hi-fi equipment I like the Ubie from americansmokeless.com They're cheap and simple to use. If used correctly, they produce only the chemical gases from the aromatics, and water vapor. Since nothing is actually burned, there are no oily residues (tars) or positiv... | |
| Turnable Rack Vibration Previously, I had used an older Target shelf with a SOTA table but I needed the Pro shelf to accomodate my new table. The old Target shelf never flexed but it was designed differently.Kenny, that's exactly what I was referring to 6 posts ago ;--) ... | |
| Turnable Rack Vibration Hornguys, you are talking about what's generally referred to as a "tie back"; tying the top of something that's swaying, like an equipment rack or a tall panel speaker, to something that isn't swaying (we hope) like a wall! This can be a good solu... | |
| Turnable Rack Vibration A couple of comments:When I think of Target wall shelves, I'm thinking of their original design with the angled side braces. This "triangulated" design is a structurally braced shape, deriving its strength from its geometry.The current Target desi... | |
| Turnable Rack Vibration I guess my point is that any top-of-shelf/under-TT treatments, if they appear to work, do so because you already have a rock solid floor, and a rock solid rack (like a Billy Bags TT stand.) But if you have a bouncy floor, it's just going to take t... | |
| Turnable Rack Vibration I think most folks are unclear about TT isolation/absorbtion. Things like spikes, roller blocks, Stillpoints, iso-platforms, etc. will drain away vibrations created by the TT mechanism (and I suppose the cartridge itself ;--) but these values shou... | |
| bedroom system need quality at low volume To me "whole stage" has nothing to do with full frequency range, it has to do with creating a realistic holographic image with a palpable soloist (vocalist or instrumentalist) in the center, and the other performers/instruments in their proper loc... |
