[quote user="decoud"]It seems reasonable to begin with the science -- as a preliminary to listening -- but I do not follow the logic here. The source of the vibration is principally the floor: the table should therefore not be coupled with spikes but...

.... is that it is so freaking big! I kind of unsuccessfully trying to find a place for it in my rack and it is difficult. The most prominent to me Pacific’s function is A/D processing and it menace that I need to have an access to the A/D inputs – f...

You are very welcome! Keep in mind however, that I do not pretend that my "sound" is anything special at this stage--I'm very much on thebeginning of a long journey, progressing slowly. What I offer is a chance to listen to O2MkI with a +/- advanced...

Hi Romy,Yes there was a reason. I typically used four arms on the table, the fourth being a shorter Ortofon rmg-212. The problems with the arrangements of two shorter arms with the two longer arms with the cable exit on bottom of the micro arm (which...

I recorded the LPs (Bruckner7-TeDeum Concertgebouw/Haitink, Also Sprach Zarathustra Chicago/Reiner - 1954) to digital. Then I lowered the stylus on to the record, but did not have the turntable turning. I played the digital copy at a bit more than my...

Since the last week, when I put the left 6-way Super Milq in duty I am hardly wiling start working on the right channel. I left it as is for a while, screw it.. I am too lazy and not in a mood to do it for now… I found recently a space to put my tape...

Many thanks, Romy, will try it out and report back in a week or so.Regarding using a rack as a frame: it is good for prototyping as it is so flexible. Indeed, even aluminium is fine, because one can mass load it simply by mounting a 2U or 3U ...

Romy,I don't see a wine rack in the view of the speakers. I believe that the wine needs music to age properly, just as we do. A dark cellar is said to have advantages but the fish down there are albinos. Perhaps some research into how the music of Sc...

I guess you didnt have a chance to listen to the station broadcasting from the Met while in New York? Perhaps it is different. I get met broadcasts on satellite radio and the quality is horrendous but I guess thats a different story. Frankly, I...

Two "temporary" solutions worth considering:1) A big nasty Krell KAV 500i (stereo 2x250 into 8 Ohms; 2x500w into 4 Ohms; built-in preamp; excellent volume potentiometer; remote; holds resale value). Though the mid range and HF of Krell amps is not co...

...it really does, I like it a lot. Personally, I would prefer to have the equipment rack somewhere else in the room but that is just me.

On initial installation of my borrowed 1050 i used power cords i have as extras. Did so cause i was still using my BPT for everything but my amps. I had a hum and high pitch buzz from my speakers. Replacing the power cord feeding my amps was the cure...

I think I've slowly started to understand the behavior of my rack.A very approximate calculation shows that in my case I should have the profile fundamentals around 20Hz, soperhaps what I take as subsonic vibrations are actually 20Hz, poorely damped ...

[quote user="jorsan"]Hi,this is my first post here. This is a very interesting site indeed, congratulations.I found this photo and I'm really impressed with this stand design: is exactly what I'm looking for. would you please give me more information...

It would be great if PP has perfect engineering notes on the different versions in general and the exact changes just made to your original unit in particular. While they may have a general record or notions of the changes I am not sure you should ex...

Ah, last night, after midnight I picked in McMaster-Carr some elements for my proposed Supper Melq rack. Thy shipped it UPS ground and I had it delivered that same day! How they do it? Anyhow, I connected two shelves with 4 x 12” by 5/8” rods. I tigh...

currently listening to behind which are the 'wings' onto which I will build the

As a new concert season is coming up with BSO opening night next week I was sprucing up my recording studio. The machine is 3MHz with 2G memory – plenty run SoundLab5. The SoundLab just record and play, I do absolutely nothing else in this software, ...

Reading the title of the original post I was under the impression that a new product was out or discovered that was a computer based optical drive system with storage as it's secondary function but it looks like just another storage based system with...

[quote user="Paul S"]Again, you might gain something by fastening the rack to adjacent walls and adjusting the tension and/or damping of those connections. In any case, you'll want to prevent swaying of a TT support, and likely a CD transport, as wel...

I am wondering what in configuration of m room was changed that made me do not like Sound. Here are the factors that I consider might be the reason. 1) Obvious change the floor. I however do not think that it is the reasons as at my new hardwood...

N-set, I've seen and done plenty of all-concrete construction, including floors and entire roof structures, standard, pre- and post-tensioned, and also shot-crete. Ironically, concrete itself actually gets stronger over time, for many, many years (m...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Very slick and very inelegant. [/quote]Hahaha, thank you Romy :)[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Juts to ice the cake I would provision 4 hooks atop of the insert that would allow you to hang the insert to the air-suspended pla...

As much I like my new room I have to admit that this week the room is delivering a major disappointment to me. This week I am trying to finalize the location of bass channels, accenting sub 50Hz region. I presume that above 40-50 will be handles by d...

Here is the rack that I put on the wall with all opera room equipment
to tin it from Thomas. I was not able to
pit in there PP3000 and it is at different location. Frankly the wall mount

Having a big window in front at night it becomes like a big mirror, some might get self conscious about it! JA The thing about glass is that it eats up bass and reflects highs like crazy, having said that, some of the best rooms I listened to, had...

I remember the old Decca cartridges as quite maddening, a real love/hate connundrum. Unrivaled, totally addictive "immediacy", and dynamics that made anything else sound muffled and plain wrong, but also about as user-unfriendly and unrel...

After trying these reticulated foams for some time now, I ended up with using them only on the JMLC 1400 with the Radian 475 beryllium drivers. I had a smallish bump about where it worked. It flattened out and the sound changed a little. It sounded a...

Romy, is it a goal to make the horn strong enough to raise one end or turn it without having it fall apart from its own weight?From your earlier descriptions, I expected to see at least one continuous piece of plywood bridging the full length of the ...
