| Speakers slipping on speaker stands Bolt those babies down! Just kidding. Like Rar1 suggests, Blu-Tac and its cousins is the standard solution. Works great. Carefully use a butter knife between the tac and stand when it's time for disassembly. | |
| pop and click filters Eld, good observation. Like the response to impulse tones some testers seem fond of, I suppose music or any sound created in air necessarily has certain reverb and decay components. Whether recording and playback captures, lessens or enhances thos... | |
| pop and click filters Eld, music is filled with trailing AND leading edge transients. For example, an acoustic piano has not only a sustain pedal but a mute one too. Likewise, string players use their palms to mute vibrating strings and resonating wood. These mutes cre... | |
| pop and click filters SAE offered the Impulse Noise Reduction System. There are two currently ending soon on EBay, one model 5000 and a 5000A. | |
| Loose Veneer, best Fix? In tight spots, wooden toothpicks make nice glue applicators. They're also useful for repairing stripped screw holes. | |
| Speaker distance and tow in?????/ Kef says sit at least as far back as the speakers are apart. Proac suggests no toe at all; you should be unable to see the sides of the cabinets from the listening position. I did that for a few years but now have mine pointed straight ahead and l... | |
| Brought to you by Simmons King Coil makes a nice firm mattress. However they're so thick smaller users may need some kind of step up device :^) | |
| Advent 201 tapedeck: Is good for a modern setup? Seehttp://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~mleone/gdead/taping-guide/part1.htmlfor a good outline on choosing a tape deck.To transfer your old tapes ideally you'd want whatever was used to record them originally. Nakamichi decks may not suit you because their he... | |
| Line Out - Line In - Line Out - Line In - Line Out If your preamp lacks the capability to monitor a recording while it is being made, then you may safely forget the tape loop idea. | |
| Line Out - Line In - Line Out - Line In - Line Out Look on the back of your preamp to see if it has tape-in and tape-out connections. But instead of putting a tape deck there, substitute your equalizer. Then select the tape monitor on the front of the preamp to listen to the signal passed through ... | |
| There Ought To Be A Law, Or At Least A Rule Tough call 61. Email has spoiled alot of us into expecting an instant response only because it's possible. I do get impatient waiting for peeps to grunt out their electronic response and push the send button. In the companies defense, they certain... | |
| Line Out - Line In - Line Out - Line In - Line Out Connect it to the tape loop of the control preamp and listen through the tape monitor? | |
| Best Proac monitor Rub, I voted with my $1,700 plus tax and got new Tablette 2000 Signatures when they first came out in 1999. My dealer carried Proac but didn't have any Sigs on display. Compared to the Response Series' specification the Sigs seemed to offer everyt... | |
| What Happens When You Die? Hopefully my spouse will garner a regular second income parcelling out my CD's one at a time on ebay. If she sells one a week, it'll take 17 years to dump them all! BTW, nice joke Jsaah! | |
| Sound Insulation- how much can it help? Wall to wall style carpeting can work wonders applied to walls, doors and ceiling. Almost relevant, we used it once to insulate a wood frame garage for band practice. The best is heavy wool pile, very plush and heavy. You may need to screw some ki... |
