| need help-how to build sound absorber, deffusive What are the dimensions of your room? You could have a standing wave problem that is very difficult to correct with absorbers and diffusers. Most absorbers do not work well below about 80-100Hz (even the so called "bass traps"). If you have room t... | |
| TOP TEN replies you don't want from your spouse .. Number 3 would be funny except the 10 grand is if you only bought a $5k speaker. Audiophile expenditure = 2 x jewelry. This is no joke--do you know what a system costs on that formula. (oh--thank God it's not me--but a close friend--my wife is far... | |
| Would You Pay to Listen? I probably would not. We have an audiophile society and rotate through listening to each other's systems. All the systems are high end--some very high end. All the systems sound excellent, none of them sound perfect. Some do certain things better ... | |
| Advice on Balanced Cables I'm using Lapis and Diamond balanced interconnects throughout my system. Mostly X3, although I do have a Diamond X2. Cables are very synergetic with the system and you may want to check some out from the cable company. I have tried Cardas in my sy... | |
| Help on LP to CD Transfer Firms I have a question on using stand alone units. I've only done this with a computer. How do you segregate the tracks on each side of the album when burning a CD on a stand alone recorder? Also, I've heard you have to use the more expensive "music" C... | |
| Mark Levinson 20.5 monoblock pair value ?? ?? If he's just looking to get rid of them, why not auction them here. Start the bidding around $2000 with no reserve for 13 days. I'm sure he'll get $4500 and probably better. Wish my parents gave me their high end gear (oh that's right--they don't ... | |
| Mark Levinson 20.5 monoblock pair value ?? ?? I think Brian's numbers are a bit low. Not that the bluebook value is that--but I think if you look at what 20.0, 20.5 and 20.6 sell for you will find they are in the $4500 to $5000 range. I've seen them listed for more, but I don't think they act... | |
| Labelling CD-Rs I have used Sharpie Markers with good results. | |
| Speaker Quest Revised Unfortunately, the new Klipsch speakers aren't much to listen to. I owned older pairs back when Paul Klipsch owned and operated the company. They were terrific speakers for what they did--dynamics with almost no power. But they never did image ver... | |
| Summer Festival Detlof--that would have been great--but I went there and it's not the Summer Festival. They do have under rare finds the Festival, Reiner LSC 2423, but I'm looking for Summer Festival which is two LPs and is LSC 6097 (I probably should have put th... | |
| Summer Festival Detlof, I have the original version, but it's not in great shape. I bought it used. I love the material, but was really hoping someone had re-issued it on an Audiophile label. | |
| zobal networks ? Where is there more information on zobel? Is there a website by chance? I had not heard of these before. | |
| LIne doubler/scaler It's unlikely a standard line doubler will do much for you as it really does not "double" the lines, it only de-interlaces them. Since you already have progressive scan--it's not going to do anything for you (some doublers do not accept progressiv... | |
| Under speaker metal SPIKES ...what is the point ? Mgottlieb: That's interesting. I don't have a good physical explaination on why that works. The Aurios Pros should work well under almost any component, especially transports because it disappates mechanical energy that is undesirable. For speaker... | |
| What music is best for an Audiophile Society Meeting? We do regular audiophile society meetings here and there are a few selections that have really worked in evaluating systems. 1. Janis Ian, Breaking Silence (preferably LP) great vocals and soundstage throughout. Tatoo is particularly good. Kick dr... |
