Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art?
I used to purchase MANY albums by artists that i've never heard on the cover art / name of the songs. Then again, that was back when one could actually see the art on a full sized 12" LP. Trying to decipher what's on the cover of a CD is just abou... 
Do materials alter frequencies and speed?
Rsbeck: You aren't looking at the big picture and apparently refuse to do so. The amplifier is not driving the speaker cables independently of the loudspeaker load, it is driving / responding to the complex impedance that each individual cable / s... 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
Aceto: I was just asking questions about the differences between the AR and the Linn. I did not know if your LP-12 was a relatively "bare bones" stock model or a heavily updated model. I would have been curious to see how those two tables in base ... 
Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving??
Reducing "ringing" in a system, whether it is electrically or mechanically based, can change what one hears from a system. Whether or not one likes this is up to their personal preferences. Sean> 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
I think that God is trying to teach me something / tell me to get off of the computer. After typing out a detailed response to both Metralla and Mes, i ended up losing the post again. While this is a problem with "buggy software", i'm taking it as... 
Legacy Classics and bottom end?
Entrope: While i'm glad that my comments led you to better sound and greater enjoyment of your speakers via the "felt trick", most everything that i post here is not of my origin. That is, i'm simply passing on insights and tidbits of knowledge th... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Joperfi: Duke doesn't have this problem for very specific reasons. Duke plays his cards above the table for all to see in a most up-front and helpful manner. Mike: I never said or meant to infer that you were a "stirrer of the pot". How you got th... 
Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving??
That's a good observation that Jadem made about the horizontal displacement of energy in an air bladder type device. As to bearing type devices, i think that they act as kind of a vertical coupler with a horizontal damping valve built in. That is,... 
Do materials alter frequencies and speed?
El: It doesn't look like Rsbeck is going to accept my invitation to put his own theories to the test and provide us with his own unbiased testimony as to the outcome. As such, i can send you both sets of cabling, which would allow you to continue ... 
Speltz Anti Cables
Palasr: I see that you've taken to using the "chaos theory" form of cable geometry i.e. multiple conductors laying wherever they fall : )Your plan to spiral wrap the conductors around a vibration absorbing core material with a gap between them is ... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Mike: Speaker design is a science more-so than it is an "art". While many in the design / manufacturing / distribution / sales / reviewing industries of "high end" audio would have you believe otherwise i.e. "the talented and very secretive audio ... 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
Aceto, i have a question for you if you don't mind. Which model AR turntable do you have and between the AR and the Linn, both in stock form placed on the same support surface, which one is more susceptable to air-borne acoustic feedback and / or ... 
Do materials alter frequencies and speed?
El: You can try them one way or the other. The only variable is when that will occur. Even if Rsbeck responds and says "yes", so long as he wants spades, i can send the bananas to you. As a side note, take a look at the Nordost version of banana p... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Well, since i tried to be a "nice guy" and get back on track with my "calmer, more friendly" New Year's Resolution in previous attempts to reply to this thread, and they didn't make it through moderator approval, i guess i'll resort to the point b... 
Do materials alter frequencies and speed?
By the way, i'm not saying "Nordost is the best", i'm simply saying that i think it provides a very audible contrast to the sonics of zip cord. Sean>
