| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement My ground rod is bigger than your ground rod.😁 Fact. In the interest of getting the best, most consistent ground, I used the 25 ft long/deep iron drill pipe for my water well. Damned thing is very thick, and hard to drill a hole for the bolt used ... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? The K horns were one of the hardest builds that I ever did. They were so heavy that each move was a real event. Funny though, many of the speakers that I have owned turned out to be heavy. Many of them were game changers, but my curiosity turned i... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? My first pair of speakers were horrible. They were made by JohnZeer and that is all that I remember. Because of them, I went the other direction and came upon plans and drivers for the Speaker Lab K. They were a bitch to build but I had a hig... | |
| Anyone have experience with acousticfields.com or with using true pressure traps? Like you said it was a long time ago, but yes that sounds like the product that I remember. Wouldn't we all be better off with headphones? Ha! There are problems with making music any way that you have it. Still looking forward to your future e... | |
| Troubleshooting Fosage Signature phono amp. Microphonics seem to go with certain tube (DHT) designs. Turns out that I generally love the sound of such tubes. They say isolation is the key, but I have found that to be quite a challenge when addressing the problem. In some cases, the answer t... | |
| Anyone have experience with acousticfields.com or with using true pressure traps? Starting from scratch will give you the possibilities that most of us won't have. I couldn't be more interested in the outcome. It does remind me of a product though that didn't go far for room correction. Must have been a financial thing beca... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? I have always wanted to hear music first produced from a cartridge (balanced output) to a phono amp that is fully balanced, to a balanced headphone amp, and finally into headphones wired for a balanced signal. I am happy and frustrated with... | |
| What is your record cleaning regimen? pindac, FINALLY, someone posted a well written and informative paper that first seemed daunting to read all the pages, but it gets to the real scientific proof of cleaning vinyl in a specific way. All too often people just wipe an album with a b... | |
| Mono block Preamp Stepped attenuators make the separate volume controls more manageable. My question would be, couldn't a remote move the attenuators in tandem? | |
| How did you get started in this hobby I started so far back, there was only one speaker to contend with. I was told that if I could fix the Magnavox upright console, it was mine. Couple days later, I was on the way. Probably only 10 years old, but this was a good start for me. | |
| I have a feel good story.... Since this is too perfect to pass up, I will add my experiences with Manley Labs Customer service. It is not at all a big deal in comparison to the OP’s experience and that is exactly my point. I wasn't buying a muilti-thousand dollar product. I h... | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? My dentist has an old chair with a narrow headrest... Yes, I can clearly hear a difference when sitting on a loveseat with my head too low. If I use a pillow behind my head, it matters. I am still a bit tempted to try sitting on the fl... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps smatsui, Thanks for the heads up. Seems to be a great opportunity for someone with enough 'bent discs' to spring for one. The last album that I got had a sort of double warp, i.e., one right after the other! | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit I have been building speaker kits since I was in high school. I was kinda forced into this idea by getting burned really bad by a fly by night audio salesman. Since I was in woodshop already, I had everything that I needed for the task. By a wid... | |
| Best color s to paint dedicated listening room I admire your bravery but dam your judgement. |
