| Audio / Stereo Rack @pindac @muaythai The fastening is done via short sections of 8mm threaded rod. Each vertical tube has 1/8” thick metal disk welded about a 1/2” from the end of each tube threaded to receive the threaded rod. The rods are prepared so they can ... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @rodman99999 Thank you for not saying, ‘I told you so.’ Sometimes when I’m troubleshooting, I get into what one tech termed, ‘high-speed stall.’ My brain gets flooded with possibilities, and I have to sit down and ‘have a think,’ in order to apply... | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack @muaythai I found myself in a similar situation recently. I just got online with Audio Advisor and ordered one of their Pangea racks. Arrived in a flat-pack two days later — honestly. I recommend calling them first. https://www.audioadvisor.com/fu... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @bikefi10 I certainly don’t mind used. Out of the over thirty pieces of equipment and sets of speakers I’ve purchased in the last three years, only nine have been new, and three of those were gifts. @rodman99999 and others, this whole question (w... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @bolong I hadn’t considered horn speakers for their ability to cast a sound stage, I do believe they would project the sound forward rather than make it appear the sound was coming from behind the speaker. I have heard several testimonies to the h... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @bolong Thank you for the full citation and context of Helicanus pleading for his life while confessing his fault before Pericles, Prince of Tyre, “for I have ground the axe.” I learned even more from you. | |
| Tube measurement question... @bh123 Glad to know that I have been of service to you. As someone here says, enjoy the music and don’t worry about milliAmps, cathodes, or impedances for awhile. | |
| Tube measurement question... @bh123 I just finished writing a long explanation but an errant finger swipe wiped it out. (I hate that when it happens.) Let offer my non-expert interpretation of the numbers. The tube spec of 60 mA describes the current that should be found at t... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @bolong Indeed an elegant solution that adds $5,000.00 to the cost of a $22,000.00 turntable available for purchase on both coasts of the US of A. See https://almaaudio.com/ for Bergman Audio products to include the Bergman-Galder turntable with ... | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts @nonoise Development of OTA (Over-the-Air) broadcasts is moving in the opposite direction. According to the Antenna Man (on YouTube) and others, providers are seeking permission from the government to ENCRYPT their broadcasts in order to lock in t... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @alanhuth and @sgordon1 you need to look above to @simao and @bolong who covered this issue quite well. @simao raised the question @bolong responded in support of my usage citing a passage from Shakespeare as follows: “The plants look up to heaven... | |
| If you want lame advice DON'T do this! I think @jond has made the best contribution to the discussion. 🙂 @kota1 REW may be free (or a donation), but it is not easy to master if you’re not familiar with acoustic measurement taking. It’s all I can do to READ a graphical report, much les... | |
| All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare @soix I was referencing the earlier comment by @roxy54 by intentionally mis-spelling the word because it had offended him. It was my ‘one for him.’ | |
| Bluetooth Turntable? @brianhurlburt I’ve considered the purchase of a bluetooth turntable for the sole purpose of digitizing my small collection of LP albums and 45 RPM singles so as to build up a digital library that will allow me to play them back on my network brid... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @medialies I agree with you and David. Nevertheless, getting it all sorted out is proving to be a challenge. Also, while quality speakers are definitely a priority, there is more than one way to design a speaker, and each type of design has its o... |
