| placement of quad 57's You will have to experiment. Out from the back wall, probably more than you'd think, toe-in varies depending on distance to listening position- height off floor makes a difference in balance; on the original legs, you might also consider what the ... | |
| Do I upgrade my Cerwin Vegas S1's from the 70's I'll bet the EarthQuake soundtrack would be awesome- remember when it was roadshowed in first run, with monster CW woofers installed? :) | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Well, my finite elemente HEAVY DUTY stand arrived today, finally! So, the table gets set up tomorrow on the dedicated stand by someone expert in these tables. I am looking forward to that. More soon, with new pics, showing the rearranged system. | |
| Downside of sensitivity? One of the drawbacks of having an extremely sensitive speaker system, eg 103db @ 1metre, is that everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING, can be heard- funky ground- big time sound through those horns, tube rush or other noise associated with electroni... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Well, I finally got mine set up today. Combination of schedule, and bad logistics. The Finite Elemente floor stand, on which the XL turntable belongs, was lost in transit, and another just sent. I'm tracking its progress like Chloe on 24. Meantime... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline I just bought the Air Line. I'll let you know how it goes.... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' oops> One last thought. Preamp fully grounded. Ground lifted on Audiopaxes. But, both components have separate ground wires to the Ground Zero device. Does this mean that the amps are effectively grounded via the preamp? Is that true even thoug... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' OK, here's the scoop: Richie, the electrician, completed the wiring of the new outlets to the room, as follows (BTW, I printed out this thread for him to read, and apart from a few questions about his competence, he explained to me why what he did... | |
| Insurance for audiophiles IN my experience, at least in the US, the best (not cheapest) insurer is Chubb. | |
| Differance between Avantgarde version 2 & 3 This might help: "Avantgarde's Series 3.0 Uno has made its appearance. According to Jim Smith, president of Avantgarde-USA, the changes are evolutionary, refining the design rather than changing it in any fundamental way. The tweeter and midrange ... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' OK, went back down and checked- no new 60 amp breaker that I can see in the main panel, to support the new subpanel. Is it possible that the subpanel is wired as if an 'extension' of the main panel, and that he fed it, and its array of 20amp break... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' OK, not to add to the confusion, but to answer the questions:We have 200 amp service, goes into a main panel with one big breaker, littered with all kinds of smaller 15 and 20 amp breakers (box is quite full), and an existing subpanel that appears... | |
| wave a magic wand and poof...the stereo disappears I've gone in and out of this hobby since the early 70's as the spirit, my available time, money and interest have moved me.I just returned to it a few months ago after a 10 year hiatus, and frankly, I didn't really 'miss' it during that time, sinc... | |
| Grand Prix Audio- Acrylic VS. Formula shelves I have both but have not done a meaningful compare. The carbon fibre certainly seems more rigid, but I'm not sure that's a complete answer since the system, as I understand it, depends on a certain amount of flexibility to accomplish its job. I kn... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' ps- house has 200 amp service, all upgraded about 5-6 years ago when the house was massively upgraded by the prior owner. |
