| Sub In The Fireplace The leveling jacks are to hold the plywood and Owens corning fiber board over the flue and while it is pressing up on this--it will also be pushing the sub down--just creating a very rigid positioning of the sub. It is very important to wall off t... | |
| Sub In The Fireplace The location of the fireplace sounds good. Is it brick or pre-fab? If pre-fab you could get some really bad rattles--but you would have rejected the idea by now if that were the case. If it's brick--the brick isn't going to vibrate much--so any in... | |
| Compact Equipment I thought Bose was on the other end. | |
| Suggestions for laptop USB 2.0 adaptor? I use 1x for audio masters for our Test CDs. We use Mitsui Gold CD-Rs. I do not believe these are "high speed" media and do much better at low speeds. We do not do any non-audio burning. All back up is on tape or redundant hard drives--so really n... | |
| Suggestions for laptop USB 2.0 adaptor? Most of these will work fine with USB 1.1, but do not try to write at maximum speeds. If you limit writing to 4x (and for high quality I recommend 1x) it is likely your drive will work fine. If you do need a high speed USB 2.0 connection I would t... | |
| Carpet or hardwood floor? It's not so easy. Carpet covers a large area with a lot of Sabiens--this can be very good in an other wise live or bright room, it can be bad in room that's already over damped. In general, I like hardwood floors with area rugs. This provides maxi... | |
| Is there an advantage to more tubes in an amp? Clueless--you really have to do something about that moniker. You are far too knowledgable to remain here. Can't we get some real input here, like: "Well it really depends on what cables you are using, you should really try the xyz cables to get t... | |
| I can't find a box to ship my speakers,,,,,,,,,,,, Anyone here have a degree in fork lift driving? Neither do the guys that drive them. I've had enough stuff damaged IN boxes when they were strapped to a pallet that I'm not real comfortable with that one. | |
| What is a test pressing? Yes. I have that Test Pressing as well. Test Pressing's were the first off the press and if they are the test pressing of the master that was used, then it will definitely sound better (at least in my experience). In general there about 10 to 20 t... | |
| I can't find a box to ship my speakers,,,,,,,,,,,, Klipsch can get you a boxes--they're not cheap. You will wonder if they are made of carbon fiber to reduce vibrations in travel for what they will charge you. And they really are not ripping you off--boxes are surprisingly expensive. Conversely--a... | |
| Room Treatments--How far have your gone? A Library can be a great place for a listening room, but there are a few words of caution. While books offer both absorption and diffusion--too much of a good thing can be, well, bad. Don't over do the amount of book cases or you will have a very ... | |
| Is Audiophilia hereditary and or contagious? Mitch: It's a hospital, not a church. (Could be a pharmacy I supppose) | |
| Product Upgrades. Worth the Money? Are upgrades worth the money--yes...and no. I applaud manufacturers that offer upgrades--even expensive ones. My reasoning is simple. They continue to develop the product, and allow those developments available to their customers--without them hav... | |
| The Fastest most musical amp Nomenclature in the audio world can be a little strange at times. "Fast" what is fast in an amplifier. All electons travel at the same speed. While I make some fun of the term, and can not explain fully what "fast" is--I immediately knew what char... | |
| Is Audiophilia hereditary and or contagious? The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has classified Audiophilia as contageous. It is not heriditary. On some occasions it has been confused as being heriditary as it has been passed down through generations, but it turns out these siblings were ac... |
