Some correction to above info by Louis.Vertical height of system once complete (in this room) will be around 1.8m. That is 115Hz (98cm) + 400Hz(29cm) + Fostex (10cm) + 250Hz (44cm) + some spacing=1.81mFrame height will be also significantly less than...

[quote user="anthony"]I had a look at the website and the AU stands for gold (from the periodic table) not Australia. Plus the prices are in pounds not dollars. Interesting turning them in walnut though and I agree totally about the "horns underwea...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Interesting the stressing the importance of the listening room Rakesh went into depth of discussing reference clocks and YL drivers that are very irrelevant to the subject of the rooms. The Rony’s comment about the expressi...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]This is one of my favorite topics. [/quote]I completly share this sentiment.There is clearly nothing nearly as important as the listening room itself and having the possibility of building a listening room from scratch is ...

First of all, season's greetings to all. I have been thinking about this issue for a few months now and was reluctant to post a question in case it was premature! There must always be some niggling doubt whether any real estate adventure will materia...

[quote user="mem916"]I think there must be something to the theory that there is debris down in the grooves that the VPI and other similar machines cannot get out, based on the difference I hear after cleaning with the new machine. I admit that I ha...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Rakesh,Two things I see that may or may not turn out to be an issue:1) The relatively narrow stance of the front wheels; depending on how heavily you load the top of the frame, stability could be a bit on the limit when mo...

It looks like nice your builder doe for you a nice work. The whole design is not what I personally would look in frame as I have slightly different preferences. To me the whole concept of the bottom legs, what I call chi...

Scooter,You may be right. Harman is a big international organisation which obviously seeks to profit from its marketing effort as well as from research conducted and papers written by its employees. But call me naive if you wish, I do not agree with ...

There is some literature available online which looks at how to obtain good bass in a room using more than one subwoofer, which should be of interest to anyone thinking of trying the path you are suggesting, even though the writers were thinking ...

I thought I would look at the Memory Player specs and was surprised to be greeted by what is in my books an obscene price list. But it may be quite cheap for others. These things are all relative of course.Best regardsRakeshThe Memory Player 64 T...

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

For me the issue you take with the appellation of the Item Audio Transport is one purely of semantics. For the record, you say it is not a ‘cd transport.’ Well, the company does not make such a claim. They describe it as a digital transport, use...

I have also a fondness for this design which may well suit your room with the line sunk in your basement. It is interesting that this design makes use of two woofers in push-pull configuration as well as making use of a transmission line. The only tr...

If it were me and I had that basement that could be made use of, I would seek to achieve what you have done with your mid-bass horns in the loft. I know that you considered and dismissed the tapped horn idea some time ago but it would cost very littl...
