    Inexpensive laser measuring tool

    I agree that this is a very useful tool. I have used it many times and have found it much more accurate than my previous attempts. Also, check out Jim Smith's new DVD and see him in action. Glen

    Revisiting room treatments

    Same experience here too. Over the past year or so I have slowly removed panels from my walls, and have found that you can indeed have too many acoustic panels in a room. I started off adding treatment over a period of time until I had a total of 15 wall panels (ATS Acoustics), 4 bass absorbers...

    Soundsmith "Cartright" : Impressions?

    Yeah Steve, it appears your message got deleted. I read the original and responded, but now both messages are gone. Oh well. Anyway, I definitely did #2 but was unaware of #1 until you pointed out that calibration was even offered. As for the anti skate, my table only has one setting for this...

    Soundsmith "Cartright" : Impressions?

    I understand your concern Bernard. Let us know what you discover and if it changed anything. I may do the same, but since the advent of my new music server there has been little vinyl played lately. :o Glen

    Soundsmith "Cartright" : Impressions?

    I had a similar issue when I purchased the Fozzy, and could not figure out the problem at first. After using it on several different tables I discovered if your table is not level it will skew your results. I use a clearaudio bubble level and place it on the platter where the needle would set...

    Perfect question for you.

    Being able to rip a SACD to my Mac would be very advantageous as Steve and Adam have stated. After browsing through some titles recently I was really disappointed that I could not rip the SACD in its higher resolution form. My library would grow with new purchases if this ever comes to...

    Do you serve your music on a music server?

    I recently became a convert and sold my Ayre cd player to purchase an Ayre QB-9. This is connected via USB to a Macbook Pro running itunes in conjunction with Pure Music. I have found when all the settings have been chosen properly for the highest fidelity playback it supersedes my old cd...

    Axpona

    Likewise Larry it was a joy seeing you again, and I'm glad that my wife can now put a face to your name when I refer to you and this forum. She and I had a blast on Saturday walking in and out of rooms. Since this was our first audio show of this type, with the exception of CEDIA which is more...

    Hi-Fi Systems And Financial Resource Allocation

    This is a very good topic, and one new comers will most definitely appreciate as they buy into their first new system. However, it is also beneficial to us who have been around the block a time or two as we evaluate our purchasing decisions. Just recently I stumbled across this new eBook by...

    System #307 (Sequel II)

    Excellent job! Looks like a great room. :music: Glen

    mc275s on summits

    I agree completely. I owned one MC275 for a pair of Vantage's and it performed very nicely. I even went through a phase of tube rolling and found it quite fun for a season. After getting an Ayre V5xe amp there was no comparison in the overall performance. The Ayre was more neutral sounding...

    2 channel dedicated listening room size...

    Hey Joey, I'm not very good at visualising, but could you not make the Library your audio room and your 2nd floor family room into your Library/Office? There might even be a little wiggle room in your Library room to make it a little deeper if you shrink the mud room. Just a thought at first...
