| The Most Important Component The angled wall is not a problem, but it does need to be treated appropriately. If it's left alone you will get some long reverberation times off of it. It either needs to be diffused or trapped which depends on the rest of the room as to which wo... | |
| The Most Important Component Ooops. Sorry for the mispellings. I do type fast and do not proof these postings as I probably should. But it's true: I thought there was only one heard :) | |
| The Most Important Component Tireguy: Here's a very good story for you after the "shoot the horses that fall behind" and Bill's Armagnac. If I'm not mistaken it appeared in Fortune.In a heard that has natural preditors, the heard naturally loses the slowest to the preditors. ... | |
| Earplugs for conerts? If I'm not mistaken Headphones.com has some. They are similar to the inserts for the etyomatic earphones. They are plugs that allow a portion of sound, and supposedly even attenuation over the band width, but the narrow cavity reduces the sound pr... | |
| The Most Important Component Actually Garfish's dimensions are closer to the correct ones for the room described. It's actually 23 x 14 with 7' 10" ceilings. However, due to a book case and a very novel ceiling design it functions more like 22 x 14 x 8'6". | |
| What brand outlet for dedicated lines? I don't think Albert is still selling them. He did a run with payment in advance. Based on the success I think it is possible he will do it again sometime--but I don't know for sure. Hopefully he'll show up on this thread and let us know. | |
| Dedicated listening room 25' L X 9' H and ? W We can definitely help. As to the width, you are in the ballpark. It takes a little time to determine the exact width. I do like non-parallel walls, but you have to consider the whole room for this to work. You also have to consider that the large... | |
| alternatives to spikes on wood floors? Small metal discs that the spikes can go into to (a number of companies sell these). They will keep the resistance high and protect your floors. If you find the right spot putting them into the floors does yield better results, but at obvious cosm... | |
| What brand outlet for dedicated lines? The Albert Porter Cryo special of course. | |
| Opitrix vs. Walker Audio Vivid? The other one I would be interested in hearing a comparison is the Auric Illuminator. All three products do the same sort of thing, but I have not tried the two you mentioned. Someone needs to do the "shootout". | |
| Cryo Treatment My understanding is that the rate at which you cool the wire is just as important as the temperature. Cryo tanks are carefully controlled to bring them to a low temperature slowly and back. Albert Porter probably knows a lot more about this, as he... | |
| What is the best way to convert LP's to CD's? Deluxe: It's a good point--documentation on the Nero is not great--that's really it's only downside. It took me a long time to figure out how to get it to burn with the correct options and even longer to get it to read slowly for mastering. I shou... | |
| Tube traps Redwoodgarden: You are correct. My order of best possible scenarios are as follows:1. A room with good modal spacing--thus no prominent modes to create a problem. No need for traps, resonators, or electrical correction.2. A room with a built in He... | |
| What is the best way to convert LP's to CD's? I should have added my current favorite burning software is Nero which comes with the new Yamaha CRW-F1 High speed drives (although we burn at 1x it's capable of 44x burning.) | |
| What is the best way to convert LP's to CD's? Go to the following link for LP Ripper and Recorder. You may wish to upgrade your sound card. The best I've used thus far is the ESI U24 a 24 bit 96 kHz sound card. We sell it on our website because we use it for test and measurement purposes. Go ... |
