| Recommendation for best Joe Jackson records? I think you started out with his best album but the recommendations so far are also good. Also try "Mike's Murder." | |
| $100 Challenge: Build this system I bought my daughter a Cambridge Soundworks powered speaker set up on ebay for less than $50. Her ipod sounds great to her through it. She liked it so much I bought another set, this one had four satelites along with the sub, for her sister at col... | |
| New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker? Are these dimensions true for nearfield listening also? I ask because, for me, sitting further than 7 or 8 feet from the speakers isn't as thrilling as up close. | |
| New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker? Try Meadowlark Audio Kestrel Hot Rods. I used them in a 9X11 room while temporarily living in an apartment. All the bass you'll need in the small room and they are one of the best speakers I've heard at low volume. That can be important in a small... | |
| Where can I find speaker feet? Thanks for all the suggestions. Audiopoints.com had what I am looking for. Unfortunately, the Sistrum platforms cost nearly what I paid for the speakers. Think I'll contact NHT or go the DIY route. Thanks again. | |

| Anyone rediscovering their old LP's? Vegasears, I concur 100% with your last sentence. | |
| Source for tapped spike for flexy rack Have you considered grinding the all-thread to a point. I needed one spike for a speaker and instead of buying a set I bought a bolt with same thread pattern at Loews. After grinding it to a point it worked like the original as far as I could tell... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Kenyonbm, nope. This is serious business for some. I checked your system, beautiful. You ain't missin a thing. | |
| What is the best Discman? Mine has never skipped. Haven't listened to Sony's more expensive models. I was considering one of their models which offers a line out but didn;t really want to spend much $ on a feature that would probably go unused after initial trial. At the p... | |
| what is an audiophile ? If you can hear a difference when a dime is placed on top of one of your speakers, you're an audiophile. | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? If you have Jenga you can give them a try. Very similar looking to the myrtle blocks. If you don't have Jenga you should try it, it's good for a few laughs. | |
| What's snapping? I suggest removing the Monster power bar from the system temporarily to eliminate it from the list of suspects if that's possible. |
