  1. Yes, I cut up some panels into triangles then stacked them in the corner. It is currently 16 inches tall. I'm thinking of bringing it up to 20 or 24 inches. It is a bass trap, but paraphrasing Mas, fixing the bass usually takes care of the treble too. This is because the bass trap is really a broadband absorber that also absorbs high frequencies.
  2. Here's a home made corner placement before it was covered. And a helmoltz rezonator with panels on either side.
  3. My first post was confirming a recommendation for Primus. [] http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/17341.aspx
  4. There is a signal generator built into the REW program.
  5. I hate to waste dealer's time when I'm kicking tires with no intention of buying, but if they have a showroom then I need to see that place someday. They are only 10 minutes from my house. You have to admit they have a sense of humor. Check out their misc page. http://www.higherfi.com/audio_unique/1 The Koetzu Golden Bullet, Killer sound, fastest tracker. [] The Rell Subwoofer is out of control with a FR down to 1hz using a cheap wall wart power supply. [<)]
  6. Clicking on either of the above links does not work for me. I get the "Genealogical blah blah blah" too. However, typing in the address worked just fine. Thanks for offering these up Dave! Having some friends over for a listening session in a couple weeks. Some of these will be on the playlist. []
  7. Hmmmmm. There are many songs that are gender based and best sung from that perspective. That could put a new spin on the line, "The carpet needs a hair cut." [:$]
  8. I assumed "quality of the records" to mean vinyl. Guess he could have meant recordings instead of records. If digital, it can also come from the player. I hear it in my friends Pioneer Elite (47?) universal player at moderate levels. My point was, it can come from virtually anywhere and he has some troubleshooting ahead of him to figure out the source of the problem. It may be safe to assume that the speakers and amp are not an issue at this point, but who knows?
  9. I need to add a few more layers to this but here is an example.
  10. It could be caused by different things, pre, phono amp, tt, tt setup, cart, vinyl pressing, or vinyl condition. Is it in both channels? Does it happen on all recordings?
  11. I shouldn't say anything because this will decrease my odds of winning but...[:#] SH.tv is giving away a test pressing of the first release ART BLAKEY & THE JAZZ MESSENGERS "The Big Beat". Make sure to sign up if you are a member. And thanks Joe H. for offering it up.
  12. The differences here are not because of the medium. The SACD was remixed in 2003 for multi-channel and stereo release. The DVD-A is a bootleg of the original quad release. http://www.highfidelityreview.com/reviews/review.asp?reviewnumber=12583627
  13. I notice a little bit of "extra air" on his CD releases but not on the LP's he works on. Although, I haven't compared the LP's to closely. Granted, his work is much better than any of the current major's reissue programs, but if you compare any 80's rock title to the original 80's cd it becomes pretty evident. IMO, he gets the compression right but seems to miss on the treble knob. I'm looking forward to comparing his recent version of Tres Hombres and Rumors on LP to see how they fair.
  14. It looks like there will be 6 - 8 releases per month between the two labels. I was having a difficult time figuring out how to pay for 4 per month. [] See the two threads on the subject. One is released by Music Matters and RTI, the other is Music Matters and Analog Productions. They both show different titles being released. http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showpost.php?p=2865122&postcount=101 http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showpost.php?p=2865393&postcount=1
  15. For curiosity sake, can you share with us just how hard you are pushing this sub (xdbs @ xhz @ 3ft)?
