| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating Mapman,Larry everyone else all this goes back to downloadable music and the I-Pod as the new audio reference. Nobody makes money on video.. its the draw that brought new customers into a store. Whether it was lo-fi mid-fi or hi-fi, video drives th... | |
| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating The Magnolia in Best Buy here in Louisville is terrible. No one greets you or says HI or nods or gives you any feed back at all. If you gave them a moon shot over their heads they probably wouldn't notice that either. I have escorted my customers ... | |
| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating Larry,If you look at the time line , decline in sales and the sudden drop in stock price, it all pivots around the firing of their sales professionals. Tom | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Norm,I did a comparison between the Sp101 and the Sp1..I thought the Sp1 maybe better because of its lower mass and what I thought would be greater reactivity. I can say in my system that the Sp101 sounded better. I used an Audio Research tube amp... | |
| sealed vs vented subwoofers My reference noise for reproduction in a subwoofer is not natural acoustic bass but the noise that comes from a 10ton metal stamping press at the KTP plant here in my state. Thats the real everyday authority. Who cares about the sound of real unam... | |
| Top resistors Vishay TX2575 are made from the new Z foil that was developed in Israel. They are suppose to be even lower noise yet. They cost $9.40 each. I have them on order for my Altmann/ DD Dac combo hybrid which is currently using the standard Vishay metal... | |
| Subwoofer vibration foot isolators???? Bacardi,You put the APCD discs on the top points those that will engage the bottom of your sub. For maximum grip and launch I elected not to use the discs on my subs, also piano black. I don't look at their bottoms. My subs bottoms that is. Tom | |
| Brass screw tweak, seen in Virtual Dynamics video. Swapping brass for steel especially around tweeter domes and the mounting frames is very obvious. Same can be said for mounting hardware around the crossover and circuit boards. Tom | |
| Subwoofer vibration foot isolators???? Bacardi,Right now on this site is a pair of Sistrum Sp101 adjustable platforms for sale. A Sistrum Sp 1 and APCD discs would work well also. I use SP101's under each of my James EMB subs and one each under my mono pair of amps. These are not isola... | |
| Brass screw tweak, seen in Virtual Dynamics video. Have used brass screws and inserts for 10 years or more. Non ferrous materials and brass in particular sounds better. Brass is the metal of music. Tom | |
| Subwoofer vibration foot isolators???? Bacardi,Are you wanting better bass definition and as a result more resolute midrange? Is your system in the basement, carpet over concrete? Tom | |
| "Sistrum SP-101 or SRA V 3.0" Buffering energy on top of Sistrum defeats the whole system and the entire transfer function on which it is based. Think of it as a collection device in which resonance is channeled and then passed to ground. If you put a giant storage capacitor {... | |
| Which Universal Remote to Use? URC 900 is much better than any Harmony piece..Add the Mrf260 radio frequency extender for control up to 100 feet.Tom | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . 4life,Many good thoughts going on here, thats great. Norm/Tbg probably has the most insight and backround with the AVM product so I hope he will join in here. AVM is short for Anti-Vibrational Magic. My use has been on things I don't want to reson... | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . 4life,Got me going here. If you have available there in Germany try out some AVM on the fuses for the modules you describe in use. Tbg and I have both tried fuses or magnets unpainted and then painted with this blue magic coating, I'm sure many ot... |
