Frogman, although what you said seems correct, I never heard of "Carmina Burana". Who else here knows about "Carmina Burana"?Apparently he or she is completely outside of my musical awareness. Is that good or bad for "Enigma".?Enjoy the music; C...

Wolfgarcia, every cartridge doesn't require an adjustment for the VTA.  For reasons unknown to me "Lyra" always seems to need that adjustment.   Those tonearms in Rega are precise, meaning each and every one of them is identical; you could discove...

Dave, you're absolutely correct; in order to achieve Class "A" results, this must be treated the same as any other audio science.Parts Express has a complete system for $300. which includes a tripod with measuring mic, and other stuff for audio me...

Alex, right now, I find it much easier to go with the flow, and get on the Gene Ammons bandwagon, than to explain "Enigma"."Seed Shack" is my first selection;                  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLKVsMuYoZAFollowed by "The Happy Blues...

If ever there was a store I missed, it was Radio Shack. I loved those stores, and I can thank them for so many completed projects. Any time I was in a mall, I had to drop in Radio Shack and browse.After some experimenting with the absorption tha...

Ghosthouse,I was referring to the JB's; they most certainly didn't suit my mood that day; while I enjoyed Takuya Kuroda, as a matter of fact I'm listening to him right now, his music is thoughtful and original.I'm enjoying the music.

When I was a kid, my mama told me, if you haven't got anything nice to say, keep yo mouth shut. Somehow I still follow her sage advice. Takuya Kuroda is nice; he achieves a very pleasant balance that makes for easy listening.Enjoy the music.

Sometime before getting into the high end, I visited a friend who had a rig with an equalizer. I didn't even know what an equalizer was or did at that time; but I knew it sure looked impressive. This thing had 20 slider switches, and lights blin...

Dave, according to what you are saying, I should apply more absorption to the right side of the room, in order to move the image to the left? Is that correct?I think I have a CD with test tone frequencies, but I don't have a RatShack analog sound...

Mesch, you're going in the right direction; if you say you hear Class "B", I don't doubt it. That's a class that is attainable with dedication and hard work, plus numerous tweaks.Room treatment is an area I haven't investigated, consequently, I'm...

Dave and Randy, all is not logical; I've had tube base traps in the front corners since day 1 to stop bass "rattle" or resonance, and it worked. I just placed both tubes in the right hand corner, and the center image moved to the left, which is w... 
power conditioner
Although there are places where a power conditioner would be advantageous, such as a large apartment building; I believe it falls in the gray questionable area. Think about it, we're improving the AC, not the DC which is where it makes a differen...
