Speakers which always sound good
$75,000 in PERMITS That's highway robbery! @richopp - yeah I totally see your logic, that's a lot of dough to give away. You could build a soundproof shed (if you have enough land) and fit it out as a dedicated listening... oh wait.. the permit ... 
Speakers which always sound good
erik_squiresis this a trick question? I ask, because the more I read the more I understand that appropriate room treatment, for the specific room geometry and materials, has a major overall bearing on the sound quality.Erik, if you have the funds ... 
Interesting discovery when my carpets were cleaned yesterday!
@glupson - Is 38lbs (17kg) considered heavy for stand mount speakers? 
Power Conditioners
@cakyol - I sincerely wished you were correct in the case of my particular system, that it would make no significant positive difference. However, I cannot simply go back, it does sound better.. it just does.And it's not just my amplifier plugged ... 
Power Conditioners
So the German one is the Inakustik AC-3500P (which I was almost going to buy, I just had a little more money to squirrel away for it)Then I was in contact with an Agon member, who I asked what he has, he shared and as I was already interested in... 
Power Conditioners
I have been introduced to a new type of power conditioner, the first of it’s type I saw was from Germany. However the second one, introduced to me by an Agon member is the one I purchased, is from England.The one I purchased has two transformers i... 
Better Power Supply for a Router?
@dougthebiker - funny I got into a debate with another guy in Agon about an upgraded router that he said was snake oil.Seems he was more than just a little probably right. The more I researched the subject, the more a linear power supply affected ... 
Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?
Purchased a used Rotel amp off Ebay, went in to pick it up at a local speaker manufacturer store. Eventually talked myself into some speakers trade for a website I built him (it paid for itself in sales in three weeks). And then managed to get a g... 
Moving to France
What a great place to move to, seriously, it was wonderful. You know French, so you’re good to go, I understood the French being unimpressed with visitors not showing even the respect to learn polite phrases while visiting them in their country. M... 
Dynaco Stereo 120
Kenny - I was looking around your Facebook pages, that red ST120.. Man that is a thing of beauty. I wire up RTU panels for my PLC and SCADA for oilfield tank batteries and I am fussy about what I put out also. Your wiring is top notch, absolutely ... 
Dynaco Stereo 120
I just read a review on this amplifier and it read pretty well. I don't suppose either of you have heard one?I purchased an amplifier and I know that somewhere down the road, probably after I've finished paying off the mortgage, I'll be looking ag... 
Dynaco Stereo 120
@gs5556 Thanks, I'd never seen it done before, quite ingenious way to filter the output like that. I suppose it's a technique used for a long time? It's new to me.@oldhvymec - not sure of the lipstick comment, but yeah when I saw it I thought it l... 
Best Car Stereo
So much good quality car audio gear out there. I have used JL Audio for sub amplifier duties, and Audison (of Italy) for the front splits.Not mentioned is in car DSP, I have owned the Audison and JBL-MS8, there are newer ones out now that I would ... 
Springs under turntable
indranil, you are using the isolation in a room with a peer and beam substrate or joists? If so, please also consider the amplitude of which such a floor can itself move. Just like a car can only do so much to smooth out the hills of a road, it ca...
