| How tall are Daruma isolators? I just measured my Daruma IIIs I think they might be about an eighth-of-an-inch too tall for your installation. Give or take a hair, they are about 1 1/2" tall. | |
| Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Guy Clark Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Lots of new things to explore. | |
| Will low moisture harm a veneered MDF speaker? I have a wood stove in my room as well. I run a humidifier in there 24/7. Keeping the air moist cuts down on static build up, a nasty winter gremlin...I have to fill the two tanks once a day, I have the humidistat set at about halfway, putting 2 g... | |
| how do maggies sound with b&k st-140 amps? For a while, I drove a pair of MGIIIs with an ST140 in a room about your size. If you listen at lower to medium volume levels, you should be fine. Another option would be to look at SMGAs or MMGs. I am putting a system together right now composed ... | |
| Counterpoint 3.1 Preamp question Good choice. I was gonna say: "sell it to me", but the LAST thing I need is another piece of gear in the house. | |
| Counterpoint 3.1 Preamp question I've seen 7s going for 250-300 in good shape, 5s for a little more. I would think that it would cost you as much to get it reconditioned as you could sell it for. Check and see how much it might cost for new controls and jacks first though. Your b... | |
| Counterpoint 3.1 Preamp question If it were me, I would do as much of the recondition myself as I could. The knobs can be removed with an allen wrench, then get some spray contact cleaner in there. Buy the tubes, and replace them, then, think about keeping it. I have a 7.1 pre my... | |

| Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Guy Clark Reubent, Hiatt brought the house down with a rendition of "crossing muddy water", and had the place howling with an improv of the lyrics in "Wintertime Blues". Thanks for the tip. I did find a copy of "Bring The Family" in my wife's car CD collect... | |
| What is a SPDIG connector? Do you mean SPDIF? If so, I think it means Sony Philips Digital Interface. It is a digtial cable, ideally 75 ohm, with RCA connecters at each end. | |
| under $300 bookshelfs: does excitement exist? I'm with Buscis2. Find yourself some pre-owned Sound Dynamics RTS-3's. Get 4 of them, set your processor to phantom center (no center channel speaker), put a sub in for the movie Boom-Boom, and not only will you have a competent movie rig, it make... | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? Yamaha CDX1 for me as well. Followed by a Magnevox 480 or 482, still buried under a layer of dust in my office at work, connected to a Sansui AU6500 integrated, still churning out digititus... | |

| DIY help on Speakers Stands Are you committed to using wood? If so, I would suggest rock maple. You may be able to get 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch thick slabs like the BoosBlock.If you are not committed to using wood, look into getting some 1 inch thick granite slabs from a local d... | |
