OK to use curtain to obtain the optimum room size?
Ake,A well-designed tri-fold panel on each side could do what you want although a consultation with Rives about the materials used in it's construction would be wise. I think it's a worthy idea.Patrick 
would this Deter you from buying used gear????
I remember John Cleese in the Monty Python's Flying Circus tv shows coming out in the middle of a skit saying, "Stop the skit, this is silly". This is one of those moments.Cars have vehicle identification numbers, electronics, cameras and guns hav... 
Linn; Benefits of Tri-amping an Active System
Jeff's,The Keilidh is a two way speaker. It does however have two mid/bass drivers in each cabinet. What is described above is indeed an Aktiv system and NOT passive bi-amplified. The Keilidh speakers can be configured for Aktiv use via the jumper...

Flipping the LP over ...
Since the late 70's I've never stopped my LP12 to remove an album. Never, ever have I had anything that came close to a bad event. Other turntables would likely be a problem.

Linn; Benefits of Tri-amping an Active System
Hi,I have exactly the same speaker/amp aktiv configuration you have and wonder this same question myself. I'll be following this thread closely. I do believe that we aren't experiencing the full benefit of the Linn Aktiv system since one LK100 is ... 
Anyone know anything about the Magic Diamond Blue?
I don't know of a universal truth regarding surface noise and cartridge type but I have found the moving coils to be quieter. I really don't agree that analog is a rich man's game when you take into consideration the life expectancy of a reasonabl... 
Black Diamond Racing products under speakers?
Maxgain,I guess Locktite is worth a try but it is designed to hold when the fasteners are torqued to spec. It's not glue. That's why I believe the Nylock product comes closest to your needs. They will resist backing out from vibration based on you...

Black Diamond Racing products under speakers?
Maxgain,While I have no experience with your setup or decoupling the speakers from the floor, I do have a lot of experience with bolts/nuts that loosen. I would find what is referred to as a nylock assembly. Most people have seen the nylock nuts b...

Record sleeves?
Hi guys,This topic of materials which record sleeves are made is a very interesting one and I would like to know the facts. I think I have it figured out but perhaps others would like to chime in. I just sacrificed two sleeves to flame. One was a ... 
Record sleeves?
Cylinderking 1,The best price I have been able to find is at sleevetown.com. As a user of the polyethylene sleeves without the paper layer I have a couple of comments to note. These are very similar to the VRP sleeves regarding the type of materia...
