| vibration and noise management - surprise surprise Hi Judith!I used to sit my 2-way monitors on light stands atop chunks of white marble from the Vermont quarry (broken tombstone sections they used as road grade!), much to the same effect.Works well if the speaker to base mass ratio is small.If yo... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk? EC has agreed to support ALL products independent of location, but the US distributor will NOT service specifically-graymarket products from Denmark. That leaves a few owners of EMC-1 CDPs no place to turn to install the latest "UP"grade. If you'r... | |
| Electrocompaniet owners Hi guys. I took a few cleansing breaths and plowed ahead, installing the 27 parts myself. Differences in soundstage "fleshiness" are immediate, and positive. Top octave extension is improved, and a delight!EC has restated that the US distributor W... | |
| PS Audio's Ultimate Outlet The corrosion resistance of nickel plating is an affordable no-brainer. But LISTENING through it? Gimme a break. How much nickel-plating do you see on fine active or passive parts? Silver and gold I can buy, but nickel? | |
| Need help with a receiver for my HT. The NAD is a very easy recommendation. It's EARS 5.1 synthesized surround from 2 channel TV and FM is outstandingly good, too. | |
| Hammond b-3 organ Oh my weeping heart! The memories!I was barely six when my parents trooped me over to the convent to start violin(ce!) lessons. Sister whatever explained that I should start on piano for 1/2 year, and I dutifully performed for the masked woman eve... | |
| What's the most important speaker attribute...and Flat and fast midrange response. | |
| Verity Parsifal Encore VS. Vandersteen 5a I'm the mirror-image here, in that I've heard (owned for three years) the Parsifal Encores.Attributes are a scarily-good midrange...truly statlike in coherence and speed. Wide-set crossover (150Hz and 5khz!) allows VERY nearfield setup...unusual f... | |
| Dedicated power lines-getting started Hi folks. MSN has eaten my internet service and email, so my 16 yr old finally let me use HER (guess who bought it?!) computer to get access....I spent last night with a dear acoustician/ee/friend who immediately thought that Belden couldn't possi... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Hdm,I have a few chocolate and vanilla Hubbell 8300 that I'll let go for $16, and several orange Hospital (Isolated Ground) Hubbell 5352IG for $12. RSVP if you or anyone wants a couple. Cheers. Ernie | |
| Speaker advice: $1200 budget Not sure the Spendors will whomp you enough. Their midrange is to die for at the price, though. Maybe used Vandersteens or big Paradigms are more up your alley. But if you treasure a great midrange get the more efficient (88-89dB/w) Spendor 3/1p (... | |
| Dedicated lines/surge protectors? Up here in Boston's pretty stiff, well-behaved grid we generally don't bother. | |
| Best integrated for under $7000 Ten used Audio refinement Completes or four Aleph P's! | |
| Should reviewers post their hearing test results? Regardless of trauma-induced suckouts, people each hacve their own response "signaure", as all ears are NOT created equal. Paul, the aural height information is a function of your pinna, NOT the musical software. It's true that stereo reproduction... | |
| Dedicated power lines-getting started Eagle, it certainly helps to know that. I have only visited AA three or four times, as I don't know how to navigate it, wheras I've been an avid member here for 2+ years. Had no idea who Chris or his interest was about until I had already "discove... |
