The primary mode may not be the lowest present mode, but it will only be apparent if the pick-up's own curve is known over the desired frequency band.As for spikes, I see no reason to use them on a suspended wood floor, but in any case the idea i...

It's finally ass-embled! All in all I'm quite pleased, but I have to live with this mastodont in my room for a while to get used to it.Now I move to listening and repeat some measurements.The insert is on it's own independent pneumatic suspension:and...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

...with Romy. So far it has been all abstract, following some known good solutions (like Vibraplane)...and it will largely stay like that for some time unfortunately.My actual space is too small to build a reasonable acoustical system, I use headphon...

[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...

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 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 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...

[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...

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...

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...

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, ...

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...

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
tune out to be very convenient idea even without baby. ...

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...

I was there and heard it a while and then came back the next day to see if what I heard was true... it was.I talked with Allen Sides who was there showing his speakers and having a good time. It is a 3 way speaker, It has a 1" JBL compression driver...

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...
