| the best way to display albums as art Gifts for me, bought at Restoration Hardware, were a couple modern style frames made for album dimensions, I think sporting that UV protective glass (it has that tint to it). They hang in the bathroom, displaying my two copies of Butcher Block. | |
| Where do I go from here, keep it clean What's weird is that I clicked on Nrchy's "System" and automatically gained access to his system builder. Lucky for him I am using a computer I am sure Audiogon knows is mine. My find has been the Music Metre Silver ICs are overall better, less co... | |
| car speakers? "Upper-end" car speakers are limited to a few brands, so shopping should be very easy. MB Quart and Boston Acoustics, and probably others have component lines with a tweeter that can be mounted coaxial with the woofer, which would be nice for your... | |
| B&W exposed tweeter on top design.... Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the first B&W model to sport the outboard tweeter was the Silver Signature, of the early nineties vintage. | |
| Building Amp Stands Great article - I feel armed with concrete beginner information that I will have to refer to in the future. A formula is included which locates nodes within a platform. Why a node is interesting but is counter to some people's beliefs. | |
| Building Amp Stands I'd go with threaded spikes if for no other reason than the ability to level your stand. Being concerned about splitting, I would think you would want a small diameter tap, like 1/4". | |
| Should there only be one company making gear? People in the middle ages didn't get old enough to contract a multitude of today's diseases. Increasing life span is because of medical science. There has never been a cure for a viral disease, so immunizations are used to "trick" physiology. Smal... | |
| Should there only be one company making gear? I guess audiophiles could agree on gear if the components were perfect, but with design compromises comes personal preference. Plus, consumers are individualists, and sound quality is not the only determining purchasing factor. You know the story.... | |
| Isolation Cones/Bearings placement on CD Transport Put your main finger on the middle cone and move it topside. Do the opposite for bearings. | |
| I need help with my room I bet I am going to kick myself for wondering down this path, but I have to know. What is the reference used to conclude your system is muted to the tune of 6db? | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling for Bass Response I have found the loss of definition caused by the bottom of speakers placed entirely flat on either a hard of soft surface to be objectionable. To limit contact area, and stay low in budget I would think Vibrapods may be worth while. There are peo... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? "Narcissistic" was a poor choice. “People” was an even worse choice. Apologies to Twl and everyone. Please replace with "self-complimentary" and “salesmen”, respectively. I sincerely wanted to make my argument specific and shot myself in the foot.... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Flex is right in his assessment. Robert Maicks stated point blank that Sistrum has an advertising agreement with audiogon. And if you do not read Twl's second paragraph as an ad here is another:"Try some Audiopoints under it...Disclaimer: I work f... | |
| Audiogon Music News June Curve's "The Way of Curve", a double album with singles and b-sides/rarities spanning from 1990 to 2004, came out in May. Better late mention than never. It was mastered well, although a little loud, and the chronological order plays well - you ca... | |
