Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make?
Two things got me into building my own starting at an early age. 1) money, and 2) Getting screwed hard from just enough audio specialists. It isn't always about doing the job better myself, it is more about knowing what actually goes into the fini... 
12x7 tubes
audition__audio,   I agree with assuming that military spec product even matters in audio for the intended purpose that the product was made. You would better off reading and understanding say a JAN tube mil. specification before assuming that i...

Ok, now I'm jealous.  
What does a subwoofer solve?
OP, I think that it is great that get to audition a sub or two in your listening room. I am anxious to find what you think.

Let me say this: If you don't have a well supported wood floor in the first place underneath your house, then adding layers of weight (read more sag) with whatever type of flooring material will likely be in vain.   I know that there are other is... 
What does a subwoofer solve?
g_nakamoto     I think that your question answers itself.     In my case, I was appreciative of the difference in performance that a good sub made. In a few recordings, I knew that the subsonic signature was there, but didn't experience it unt... 
Isolation Advice Needed
Man, I should have skipped this thread. Now, I am thinking of crawling under my house to brace what I absolutely know needs to be braced. The house was built in 1930 and code was something that only Morse knew. There are a few soft spots in the wo... 
Entracte Audio Powerline Filters
emil, Thanks for reading my post. What I should have said is that this product could be built by most in the manufacturing business for a lot less. Sorry that I cannot give a specific example here.   I am the DIY type, so sometimes I will explor... 
Entracte Audio Powerline Filters
Capacitance/inductance. Those are the most common ways to filter power. Don't worry, many other types have been made, but if you want a quick, inexpensive circuit that's it. You can a few film capacitors of different values to cover a wider freque... 
ECD Mikey Hit's a Homer or is he Homer.
Wow.  
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
It would be a great service to me if I would have two systems. Onr for building stuff and experimentation, and the other a 'regular' but decent system not to mess with, but to enjoy music.   Most of my system I have built, and there are times tha... 
RE : JBL 4333/ L300
It might help to know why it was that you replaced the diaphragm in the first place. Perhaps remaking some of the crossover connections if they are spade type, or resoldering if they aren't. If the replacement was due to a component in the cross o... 
Books!
Sorry to bust up the party, but I have been reading books on physics, electricity, boilers and reducing crude oil. All from a 1936 set of thin books apparently intended to educate the common worker. The examples used were about horses, straw, and ... 
Wha'choo lookin' at?
Wow good responses. Never thought about getting into plants. Likely they would all die at my hand. I threatened the roses to bloom last year and it worked. "You think about blooming, or I got a shovel." It worked. Anyway, a large tapestry on the f...
