| Do you ever do this before you listen? So what "clearing" your ears actually does for me is to help equalize the air pressure on both sides of the ear drum allowing my ears to do a better job of transmitting vibration. You don't have to actually make your ears pop, just push gently an... | |
| Do Blue Dots applied to LP labels improve sound? GB Shaw wrote:People always get tired of one another. I grow tired of myself whenever I am left alone for ten minutes, and I am certain that I am fonder of myself than anyone can be of another person.I grow tired of this site unless I am selling ... | |
| Do Blue Dots applied to LP labels improve sound? If you would like to try a really good tweak in this area go to Mapleshaderecords.com and look up their record weight/clamp system. They use really small triple points on the platter combined with a specialized brass weight and centering system gi... | |
| Component racks Go to Mapleshaderecords.com and get the same info I've made my decisions/purchases from. Did you read the thread Vibration theory: Isolate or Drain? | |
| Component racks Blueskiespbd, I believe that most people in our hobby would disagree with captainoblivious, racks do make a difference. Enclosed cabinets can increase standing waves depending on the location and hardwood sounds better than mdf. Check out the thre... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? Playpen, The nanomounts are placed (ie. glued) onto the cartridge and then the cartridge is attached to the tonearm. The triple points are on the cart with the single point touching the tonearm (you must not overtighten the cart to the tonearm). T... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? OK, I support the info from Mapleshade. You drain from the top and you don't stop till you get to the bottom. Every component, every shelf has to work to drain the vibration from the whole and into the floor or you defeat the benefit. If you like ... | |
| portable ipod speakers? There was a write-up for a Sharp unit in Stereophile recently. It got high marks and was very portable. I've used my Logitech Squeezebox Radio for motorcycle trips and it worked out great. It has the added feature of wifi internet radio if you fin... | |
| Rowland Synergy question with Subwoofer in System Unless the second set of mains have a volume control independent from the first set you still won't get what you want. If that is the case you can still use your second set of mains and buy a sub that has it's own remote volume control. There are ... | |
| Component racks You want an open air rack, solid shelves, infinite adjustability, and good looks too. Look at Mapleshade before making a decision.The only test on rack/sound is a comparison to the gear you are using now. I had a Sanus rack with adjustable MFD she... | |
| McIntosh MC303 vs MC402 with 501's? I know Classe is quality gear but is there some reason you are not considering the new MX150 or a MX136 from MC? | |
| Is there better amp for bass then Cary Rocket 88 You might think about getting a subwoofer so you can control the low frequency volume independently of your left/right speakers. Works for me. | |
| Krell S-150M Mono Blocks One of the things I believe Krell always does is under-rate the watts and if you look at the high current capabilities (doubling of watts from 8 to 4 ohms) I don't think clipping or speaker matching will be a problem. I did look at the Music Direc... | |
| McIntosh MC303 vs MC402 with 501's? Everything you are considering would make a wonderful/spectacular surround system. I really would go for the MC402 from what you are saying. Programing becomes the key here. How many BD/DVD discs with more than 5.1 discrete channels will you be pl... | |
| Cartridge life really only 3 years?? I have never counted the total number of sides played with any cartridge I've owned. Does anyone count or do we all just average? How expensive is a proper scope? Audiofeil, how many times have you retipped your cart?Not really on the subject here... |
