    where to put the turntable?

    okay. it's been a long haul but i think i have the room "this close" to laid out. I hate tearing out my own construction so i've really been aiming to nail down the layout of the basement before putting up walls (and figuring out how to put a closet into the new bedroom is proof i don't over...

    tripod stand for oracle turntable

    i remember seeing a three legged stand for an oracle turntable a while back. probably custom, each leg was lined up with a foot on the oracle so that it looked like extensions of the three feet on the oracle. all aluminum tubular build. i can't seem to find any references to this - does it ring...

    7.1 vs 6.1

    the rear surrounds are the same discrete channel, not separate channels as with the side or front surrounds. many proccessors allow you to set if you are using just one, or two surrounds. has anyone played with the difference between a single centre rear surround and a pair of rears surround...

    the bi polar room (long)

    or perhaps i should call this - too many thoughts and this post will probably also be too many words. well the room (in fact the whole basement) is at a stand still. for a bunch of reasons, but not the least is functional design. I can't get a grasp on how to mesh together some of the ideas i...

    do you subscribe to the New Yorker?

    and if so, what day does your issue arrive compared to the cover date? say the Aug 30th issue - did you get it on the 30th? or the Thursday/Friday (26/27) before? or, like me, did you get it yesterday (the 1st) two days past due and almost a week after the stores and website.

    Building the new room

    I moved in about 8 months back and everything is still in boxes. why? well, there is no media room, just a big empty space. This thread covers my ideas. The room is planned to be 21x8x13, close to Phi. the 13 is pretty set in stone as it is a supporting wall. the 21 can be shifted back and...

    CLS depth. Xover, pre-amp and processor. oh my.

    i am looking for some thoughts on how to hook up the second depth into my system. there are a few other changes to the system, so i'll start the description from scratch. I want to use the depths as the bottom end for my CLS. i have an outboard electronic crossover to help with this. Up to now...

    differences between CLS models

    there are about 5 differnt models of the CLS (1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2Z, anniversary and so on). i have heard that the Z models use transformers that are not available anymore, and I am sure that there are some sonic differences between models. is the rumour that the Z transformers are no longer...

    power requirements of CLX vs CLS

    hi, with all the CLX for cheap available (well - two :) ) and my CLS needing a panel replacement soon, i'm feeling strong temptations... i'm looking for some real world experience on the handling needs of the CLX vs the CLS. right now i'm powering the CLS with a pair of 100 watt SS meitner...

    squeezebox test

    thanks to Tom's suggestion, i've been playing with the softsqueeze app and really enjoying it. but i can't get it to play some of my radio stations, particularily .asx streams. can someone with a real squeezebox (i'll probably be getting the classic) give this a try...

    Making lemonade from lemons, or at least CLS stands...

    last night i missed out on a set of stands here, and was a bit disgruntled until this morning when i dug out and dusted off my stand plans from last month. now, don't tell my boss :cool: but i this morning had a whale of a time working on two different stand designs - heck i'm actually excited...

    what causes CLS sway?

    partly for diversions from wedding planning, and partly from peaked curiosity, i'm toying with some designs for my own set of CLS stands. to stop sway i'll use a brace from the base to the mid/top of the frame that will create a triangular support. this means that the frame will not sway...
