| Can belt driven table mimickingdirect drive . . . I just got my VPI Prime in and hooked up with the motor controller. Pretty amazing TT. A different league than the scout. | |
| Can belt driven table mimickingdirect drive . . . In my mind it seems like your getting the best from both worlds - at least in the cost bracket I'm living with. I cant really talk about esoteric stuff since I've never even heard any, but a detached belt motor with a control system seems to be a... | |
| Treating Floor in New Construction - Reducing Footfall and Vibration As for walls you can use a concrete board like they use in bathrooms behind tile and then half-inch sheet rock on top of that which will achieve a dense-rigid system | |
| Treating Floor in New Construction - Reducing Footfall and Vibration Whatever you do it is very important that any sub flooring be adhered as tightly as possible and that any additional flooring layers be adhered just as strongly as the first subfloor so that you don't end up with a system that allows vibration t... | |
| Treating Floor in New Construction - Reducing Footfall and Vibration Oh and cross brace you're floor joists beyond code requirements. Cross bracing is there to distribute live and dead loads to adjacent joists. Plywood on the underside of the joist is a good helper as well. Also at very little added cost ask them... | |
| Treating Floor in New Construction - Reducing Footfall and Vibration Use tongue and groove structural plywood glued and secured to floor joists with deck screws. Then use a self leveling floor system like gypcrete to a 3/4" tickness. This has about a 900 psi strength. For reference typical concrete has about 3000 p... | |
| "Thriller": A great demo disc! Another enthusiastic thumbs up for Toto IV! That album is so dynamic! | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... I'm only speaking for myself of course but IMO audiophiles tend to over analyze this kind of stuff too much. It's only natural considering the money involved. I've given up the need to over analyze frequencies or any other such stuff to come to a ... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... I tend to describe a neutral set up based on hearing many different "albums". If they all sound unique, meaning if some recordings sound bass heavy, some bright, some just fine then I figure the system isn't tilting the frequency in any one direct... | |
| Is it really night and day OP - Amen brother!!! The exaggerations have always had to be there for one of two reasons from what I can tell:1. If the reviewers don't exaggerate how do they convince you to ditch that totally acceptable $5000 piece of gear to get a marginal at ... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i This may not help but I run the halo a21 on my Thiel cs2.4,s and it works great. I also use a BAT VK-3ix tube pre and I believe a tube/ss combo is the ticket for Theils. I don't think the JC will disappoint. | |
| Balanced Audio Technology Preamp - Tube compatibility question - Help So I've basically gotten nowhere with this question. I've even spoken to Victor at BAT and he briefly looked at the schematics but did have time for an in depth review to tell me if there is a signal going to pin 1 in the ceramic base. Even if he ... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie Donzi,while I don't have the 3.6's I do have the CS2.4's. I can assure you that they will need high power/current and a quality front end. If not they will tend to sound bright and bass will be flat. After all was said and done I ended up with a ... | |
