| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Jafant, I'll probably be leaving early Wednesday, unless the weather is too bad. I'll get the trip together tomorrow, with directions to get to each dealer there, a notebook that includes among other things, suggestions provided here for listeni... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Twoleftears, good call. It is Audio Exchange on West Broad St. I was thinking of, not Audio Art. As far as the "boonies go, my next door neighbors are cows, so I'm feeling this locale qualifies for that appellation. I love the countryside though, ... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving rcronk, yours is the exact situation I've got here. What I figured on doing is to raise the flat screen TV which covers the existing opening, only high enough to make a space for my VPI turntable to set, and high enough to be able to remove it's d... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Inna. I will take you advice to keep within my budget. This money's coming straight out of my life savings so I have to limit myself. There will be no extra $1000 spent. ThanksTomic60, I'll keep your list of integrated amp recommendations for furt... | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT That's good advice to differentiate between quantity and quality of bass. I'll keep it in mind when I'm listening to speaker demos this week, hopefully. I've got to organize all these good tips I've been getting. Maybe cutting and pasting a cheat ... | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT Thanks again ctsooner.Mike | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving n80, you speak the truth. Years ago old pine, especially heartwood could be used for flooring due to its hardness, for example. Couldn't imagine any pine you find nowadays at the big box stores being used for that purpose. Mike | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Thanks for mentioning the Neat speakers Larry. I've never heard of them before. I'll look at them while I'm at Command. I'll make sure I explore normal listening levels as you suggest too. Deja Vu does sound interesting. I'm probably going to hav... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Kingrex, I've been happily listening to my $790.00 pair of Dahlquist DQ-10's since 1976. So you're way ahead of me with with your Pure Audio Project Trio 10's. Since you mentioned the Trio 10's, I went and looked up a review on them, which coinci... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Shkong, thank you, yours is a reasonable suggestion. I'll keep it in mind when shopping for amps too, sometime in the future.JackD, Good suggestion, Command Performance is actually my first planned stop. Spoke to them only a few days ago. They car... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers I was going to let this thread die a natural death but thought of one more question before I travel to audition some speakers next week. I've been sensibly advised that during speaker demos not to let to let dealers get away with using equipment ... | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT Ctsooner, glad to hear your Treo's sounded good that close to the wall. I'll probably do my speakers in black to blend in with all the black audio components, computer, TV etc on the same wall and not compete with the Federal style mahogany furnit... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Italian, thanks for sharing your experience.Slaw, I've asked a few questions here. Bear with me. I'm uncertain which one are you referring to as misguided. Bdp24. I looked at the Townsend pods you recommended and will track down the Youtube video.... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Kingrex, a couple of questions; when you say Sorbothane can suck life, could you elaborate on that. What would be the negative effect, and how and why might this be occurring? I am trying to learn, and really don't understand how that might happen... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Terry, I'll look Panzerholz up. Where do you access it?Kingrex, I'll have to look up what a Druzy stone is. Thanks for the economical idea. There's few corners to be cut in the high end audio market.Mike |
