| DIY speakers of solid/reclaimed wood? Bad idea guys. Wood expands and contracts with humidity. The various species do this at various rates. What we do to prevent cracking is float pieces that go across the grain to prevent cracking. The old raised panel doors are an example of this. ... | |
| New System for Pool Table Room #1 Do not put the Trampoline outside. If your insurance company sees it your liability insurance will double!Just hang two Sonos speakers and one of their subs. They all have built in DSPs. Put a Connect on your main system and anything you play o... | |
| Turntable Mat question Atmasphere, I have been using vacuum hold down for 30 years and have never damaged a record. I suppose if you threw sand on the platter before the record you might be able to do some damage. No flat mat of any material can control a record that is... | |
| What in your mind represents real technological advancement. Will somebody please give geoffkait his evening dose of Thorazine. | |
| Jadis Orchestra Reference - Resistors Thin, Those are 1/2 watt resistors | |
| Anyone hear pass XP27 phono preamp Spend the money on a better cartridge. | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Noble, if they are built into walls they are no longer dipoles and trying to get the resonances out of walls is a nightmare. The limiting factor in all Maggies with a ribbon tweeter is the tweeter. It is a wonderful tweeter, some say the best ever... | |
| UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER Hey Millercarbon, you sucked yourself into that one. However I would much rather own a Kuzma than any of those others. He is a brilliant engineer. The Kuzma 4pt 9 is the best tonearm for the money you can buy (big period) | |

| Good starter amp recommendation millercarbon, maybe the fellow just likes movies. I set up incredible theater systems all the time. The last one used Magico speakers, Pass electronics, a Trinnov Altitude 16 an SME 30/12, Kuzma 4 pt 14 with a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum, M... | |
| Have you ever downgraded deliberately? Never. | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Hey Noble, Real Bad Idea. I love Maggie 20.7s but adding two more bass panels is just going to give you a lot more of no bass.(below 40 Hz)Dipoles make crappy subwoofers. There is this myth out there that you can not mate a dynamic sub with a dipo... | |
| Turntable Mat question Nobody here heard a turntable with vacuum hold down? Basis, SOTA and Air Force take things to a whole new level. Walker also. | |
| MC suggestions Fourwnds I wish I could have afforded a cartridge that good at your age. Actually there were no cartridges that good then! Just get the HI FI News test record. It has tracks for both lateral and vertical resonance. For the PC 7 just add weight unt... | |
| Turntable Mat question Those platers were specifically designed to use w/o a mat but to couple the record appropriately to the plater you have to use a clamp and a ring(for another $1000). The ring is a PIA. SOTA, SME, Kuzma and Walker have much more elegant solutions t... |
