| Sound room flooring advice needed Great info, Zenblaster. After the Dricore is down, you're talking about floating the floor on top of it, right, not gluing? If floating, what kind of underlayment do you recommend between it and the flooring? I've considered cork, PE foam, and a p... | |
| Sound room flooring advice needed Hi Zenblaster,Thanks a lot for the helpful response. I'm in the SF bay area (near the bay), so it's typically dry for eight months and rainy for four. The heavily-sloped property has no apparent drainage issues. The space itself is more on-grade t... | |

| Sound room flooring advice needed Thank you all very much for your suggestions. I'm coming to the conclusion that glue-down is the way to go. My own concerns about resonance from floating have been confirmed by several of you. My wife is not a fan of wall-to-wall carpeting, so tha... | |

Mine does the same, but only with this one!Mapman, your link is to a CD. No wonder few turntables can track it without audible p... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Why or when would I ever choose to listen to the inferior ones?Different presentations, different perspectives, equally valid and not necessarily inferior. Audio, especially vinyl audio, is an exercise in aesthetics, not epistemology. I'm always s... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Two tables, three arms active, eight cartridges. No method to my madness. | |
| Ortofon SPU, cased or nude? No adjustments in theory but practice might prove a different story. I bought a Royal GM II (which I adore, BTW) and Mono GM II with the same idea in mind. Turns out the overhangs are slightly different, requiring an adjustment of my SME arm posit... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Hi Andrew,Yes, I received the upgraded Supreme and mounted it on my Brinkmann Oasis with a Benz Ebony L. I think it's clearly a step up from the Phantom II. Transients are cleaner, dynamics more explosive, and bass seems deeper and more coherent. ... | |
