| Vinyl(the other kind) @Schubert- I'll take a stab though I'm not an acoustician. It would seem to me that vertical blinds would break up the sound, and you could vary the effect by how they are angled, but the backdrop still being glass would remain an issue. I think p... | |
| Willie Nelson - a couple of questions please He is in the Agriculture Hall of Fame for his work on Farm Aid, though. Lot’s of greats not in the RRHOF. Willie is god here in Austin. | |
| Whats in your second system? Old Quad ESLs (restored), Quad II amps (restored, with GEC KT 66s), McI MX110z preamp/tuner and SP10 Technics, restored. All of the equipment, save for the McI, has been with me for decades, the ESLs back to 1973. | |
| Can't we all just get along? @crazyeddy- You did what any sane person would have done after a day like that- logged on to the Internet. :) Glad to hear all is OK. | |
| Are You Experienced? The French Barclay box from the ’70s contains a mono mix of AYE, along with Axis and Electric Ladyland (the latter two in stereo). According to a number of people who have compared these copies to the original UK Track, the early Barclay copy of A... | |
| Can't we all just get along? I think it is largely a function of the Internet. In my career, now retired, I dealt with a lot of hackers and Internet trolls. Many were these meek individuals in person, but had an entirely different persona behind a keyboard.There is also an in... | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know I think you are dealing with a fairly sophisticated, and somewhat skeptical, if not cynical, lot here; sure, there are postings proclaiming X is a life-changer, but I doubt that many here buy based on a posting. The anecdotal experience of many, t... | |
| VPI 16.5 Cleaning Machine - Drying Question When I used a VPI with multi step fluids, I was unsparing in the amount of liquid I used; I suspect the problem is, as @sevs alluded to, the position of the vacuum tube in the upright post. Look up the VPI instructions and experiment a bit; the va... | |
| Stacked Quad Questions @peter_s - re amp power, when I got this pair of Quads in 1973 I eventually ran them with an ARC Dual 75a (which was brand spanking new though very old school by today’s standards- still have the amp). But now, I’m running mine, restored, with a p... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Do you live in an area where the changes in season affect relative humidity? | |
| Stacked Quad Questions I have a couple packets of literature from back in the day on setting up Stacked Quads, I haven't been able to lay my hands on them since I moved. I think it was more about building the frames and positioning than wiring, but there are some people... | |
| Stacked Quad Questions Good for you; I have never run them stacked, but will keep an eye on this thread. Kent recently restored my old pair and even as single panels, they sound the best ever. I did use Decca and Sequerra ribbons back in the day, and mounted them on DIY... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. @erik_squires - I guess I didn't take your post literally, in that I wasn't focused on the drivers, but that part of the musical spectrum. | |
| Lyra Delos - Dirt Build up on the cantilever I have high regard for Lyra cartridges having owned several over the years, and did use the Lyra liquid because Lyra provided it and obviously condoned its use. But, is it possible that in applying it, it migrated up the cantilever and dried, caus... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. I learned to listen on my original Quad ESLs, which I bought in 1973. They have a peerless midrange that, even 60 years after their introduction, is still considered a reference or benchmark. Living with them as a full range speaker poses a number... |
