When installing the floor jacks, mount a 4' x 4' on top of them and use three jacks. The jacks themselves should be spread out but spaced so t... | |
| Apple or PC? Even though there are hordes of viruses for Windows programs floating around, the Apple software is actually more vulnerable in terms of holes in the operating system. If someone wanted to be really malicious and write viruses suited to each type ... | |
| Plinius sa250 overheating Sounds like your amp is either under-designed for Class A operation ( not enough heat sink area ) and / or your installation lacks enough airflow to allow the natural convection of heat to flow away from the amp. If the amp hasn't got at least 12"... | |
| Goertz Bi-wire or something else At a 20' length, any speaker cable is going to start to play with what your hearing to a greater extent. Given the superior electrical characteristics of the Goertz geometry, this cable will be less of a detriment than other cables at that length.... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? One more thing. It should be noted that Brian's G&D Transport and his Entec DAC aren't stock units, but have also been modified. As such, i was curious as to how well the modified "redbook only" system stood up to the modified "universal" syst... | |

| Best location for isolation cones. Get rid of the foam pieces and read this Stereophile article for some tips. Just for kicks and if you can find this specific back issue, take a gander at Jonathan Scull's "Fine Tunes" in the February 2001 edition of Stereophile. This is an article... | |
| Radio Shack SPL Meter mods corrections Bluemax: I do not know if the 33-4050 is built / designed in the same fashion. Given that RS is primarily interested in increasing profits via cosmetic changes rather than re-designing products, my "guess" would be that it is probably quite simila... | |

| Speaker design myths revealed I just found this when Googling for some other stuff. Not exactly an in-depth explanation of each design, but the basics are covered. Sean>Simple explanations of various loudspeaker cabinet designs. PS... I don't know what their affiliation was... | |
| Speaker design myths revealed Think of an Infinite Baffle ( IB ) design as a dipole radiator ( Maggie's, E-stat's, etc... ) but the rear radiation never comes in contact with the front wave. The result is no cancellation or reinforcement. The driver is basically "unloaded" due... |
