| Hardwood floors in basement music room? I have built floor risers on and above concrete floors. You don't want to leave the cavity hollow but fill with rock and then vent or port the riser. This method diffuses and breaks up standing waves that tend to travel along large flat surfaces. ... | |
| Gryphon vs. McIntosh Yep..can't get thru to anyone. Tom | |
| Gryphon vs. McIntosh The deficit increased by over 33% percent in the first quarter of 2009 because of a lack of revenue paid into the treasury from both the private and corporate sector. When and where did that run up/run down start? Larry call me some time about aud... | |
| Problem with soundstage up near ceiling. Whats the wall behind the speakers made of? How is it finished. Is there a soffit that drops from the ceiling that contains water pipes or HVAC hardware. Where are they located in relation to your seating position and speaker position. Tom | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material Thanks Geoff. Lean forward not stuck in the same old muck. Tom | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material I need to try that with my endpin designs for cello and bass. Hear the difference right at the original source. No recording or mechanical or optical playback in the way. Geoff who in the Midwest would be a reputable source as a cryo service? Tom | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material If the dollars are there then brass all the way...especially at the ground plane..the floor and shelf. The termination is not all about the material but also the mass and geometry..trilogy as it were. Tom | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material I have compared steel all thread rods with brass all thread rods with the same components and the same shelving. One left and one stayed. Oh before that I compared brass lock nuts with the steel lock nuts on steel rods.. again one left and one sta... | |
| "Violinists blast holes in violin experiment" My endpin designs actually seem to set up new vibrational patterns within the wooden body of the instrument. My pins are more reactive by design as well as serve as a method for mechanical grounding. The very cool thing about all of this is that t... | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable AndrewI too saw his lack of history and find that unusual. Why would someone join a club and be a member for some 21 months without a post, a listing or a whisper. With no posting history from a reviewer as a guideline, I personally would have to ... | |
| "Violinists blast holes in violin experiment" I make custom endpins for cello and bass. Most musicians have trouble hearing a difference between pins, even when there is a 1 db difference in output between 2 pins under audition. This could be caused by their position under the ear and behind ... | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable Yesterday I did a search for an ADA P2150 amp [not familiar with the product] and a seller had one in perfect shape but said it had a loose RCA connection. A loose RCA with a heavy cable suspended from a poor mechanical connection could wreck havo... | |
| Gryphon vs. McIntosh Besides McIntosh what other type of amplification most uses output transformers? Tom | |
| Using protective discs under brass footers RockyboyThe brass coupling discs when used become an extension of the points themselves. The discs seem to increase the surface area and add more than a few degrees of musicality to the whole event. Focus and speed seem to increase with no added s... | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat I have some new acoustic devices that I now use on my speakers and lay on the floor. The way that sound travels over and around these devices can be altered by the finish flat, satin or pebbled coarse. The placement required determines the finish ... |
