| Best indoor FM antenna, your experience. @swampwalker That may be the direction i go in- attic mount-- our location is a mixed bag, we are right in town in Austin, but on the south city of the river, so it is fewer skyscrapers but there is a lot of density here; a few large old apartment... | |
| Best indoor FM antenna, your experience. Timely thread for me. Just got a restored MX 110z to use as the preamp in my vintage system; I have the small Magnum Dynalab antenna, which is an odd set of rabbit ears that converts to what looks like an omni. I don’t know enough about my new loc... | |
| Oldest gear still for sale is . . . Tannoy has been around forever (since 1926). I don’t know what the oldest model is within their line that has a modern counterpart.gdnrbob- my recollection is that "we" (the Allies) got tape technology from the Germans after WWII- the Magnecord,* ... | |
| Would anyone be interested in a timeshare on an Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Pro? Thanks, wntrmute. | |
| Would anyone be interested in a timeshare on an Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Pro? @marktomaras : my experience was limited to the original ADS, not the Pro version, and at the time I still had an old VPI. The ADS was life changing in several respects: no more labor, records came out clean and dry (except for some odd water spot... | |
| Would anyone be interested in a timeshare on an Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Pro? @wntrmute2 - can you check that link? It didn't work for me, and I'm curious about the formula.I use the Hannl concentrate mixed with Reagent Grade 1, for most records, and if they are troublesome, use the AIVS # 15, both with a pure water rinse. ... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! @salectric When we sold our house in NY, we left many items for the buyers at their request, along with tools, garden equipment, extra filters for the HVAC, etc. I had my music room totally cleaned up- pulled out the large equipment racks, replace... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! @bdp24 - yes, i think so. You don't want to drop a magic brick on your toes. | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! So, I am in Manhattan on a shopping errand jaunt with my wife. We were at ABC furniture downtown, made our way up through Soho, stopped at the old Stereo Exchange (if memory serves, it was the small shop) and bought a stack of VPI bricks. Three- t... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! I have a good VPI Magic Brick story. | |
| Building a stereo room and ran into some problems, help! Nothing wrong with DIY. When I had to deal w/ sound proofing issues, a lot of the bargain stuff really didn't do much attenuation. There is a lot of confusion between acoustic treatment and soundproofing. Also, some of the stuff for sound proofing... | |
| How many LP's Over the years, I organized the records in my own way; different people have different ways of doing this. There was, and remains, a sort of "dumping ground" section for copies I rejected at one point, or duplicates of records that aren’t terribly... | |
| How many LP's I peaked a few years ago with around 14,000. Gave a couple thousand to a friend, had a broker sell some (he dealt with the listings and I got 50%), nothing terribly valuable, and when we sold our house, I culled more- so I didn’t have to move crap... | |
| Building a stereo room and ran into some problems, help! gorgeous rooms, goose. | |
| Building a stereo room and ran into some problems, help! Mass loaded vinyl is a very sound proofing material, but: it is expensive and it isn't that easy to handle. You don't need two layers of drywall, or for that matter any green glue to make it work. Think of it as lead sheeting in the form of thin v... |
