| Flexy rack threaded rod material Sorry, I meant made the same way as they were a few years ago. | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material I agree with Tom6897. I have done the Flexy. Its simple design encourages upgrades and tweeking. Unfortunately it is not a good design and is ironically beyond improving with "upgrades" like brass rods. Ikea's lack table is much better, although I... | |
| Manufacturer checkups Thank you. Good posts. Sorry, my initial post was not very clear. My older preamp was not sent to Lamm for inspection, and I do not particularly suspect it has problem. I have wondered, though, if it is supposed to sound better. I am just too un-t... | |
| Listening Chair? My chair fits your bill, a Harvey Probber wingback chair. Not lay-z-boy comfortable, but rides low and chicks love it. | |
| McCormack DNA 1 & Hales Revelation 3...Good Match? Thank you. | |
| McCormack DNA 1 & Hales Revelation 3...Good Match? Glad your amp has worked out. I am really want to buy an amp for the revelation twos. What was your prior amp? | |

| What do you feel? Hey, thanks! | |
| What do you feel? Right now, I feel like buying a better amp. | |
| Where is the attractive audio furniture? Finite Elemente racks are not mid-century, but they fit well in modern decor. They are also audio performance oriented and I think one of the best looking "hifi" racks made. | |
| You never see this anymore I had the same reaction as Rrog, especially with Linn, a company which has names for its systems, complete with cables. Rega is another. A store local to me, Audio Concepts, has a list of recommended systems at variable price points on their websi... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? By all accounts PCs are largely component specific. While I have tried my hand at them with various items in my stereo, they have yet to make a particularly meaningful improvement. If you pose a more specific question, people with the same electro... | |
| TV only recommendation Check avsforum.com. The forum posters know a lot of the issues between models; each brand has their quirks. There are also calculators for screen size versus viewing distance on various sites. Last year I purchase a 58" Samsung 6500 plasma. From 1... | |
| SS amps with little or NO feedback Yeah, there is theoretical problems with everything that only money seems to solve (at least in advertising)! I have also been considering and reading about no-feedback designs(and may start another thread). I am not sure how to conduct a meaningf... |
