Because I feel that with your help, sooner or later I will solve this problem. So far I have been feeling very frustrated for days, so I decided to post this on the forum as a last resort. I do not know any people who know electronics constructi...

You might also want to try stiffened felt, which seemed to work "as well" as the paper for me, and it is easier to form. Just saturate the pre-shaped felt with runny "paste", whether gluten/starch or methyl cellulose, milk glue, etc. Spray starch ...

Yes, I was thinking about lether too. Felt is also an option. However they both seem to me not"viscoleastic" enough and good primarly at HF, while the damped steel profile vibratesmainly at LF. I was thinking about solutions for car deadening either ...

I had a strange effect a few days back. I spoke with an audio friend of my who own a few very top performing turntables. He recently has seen the alleged new production of Micron Seiki - the Air Force One turntable and he very much liked it. I asked ...

I have used thick wool felt around the perimeter of my round horns at times. Having owned a pair of ROGERS LS3/5a's in my youth and being amazed at the huge sound those little speakers could effect one tries to re-use ideas. Diffraction control is ...

People like to talk about William Kapell but at always make me confused. I did not know Kapell, I heard his recordings, and they did very little to me. The one album that I felt was “keeper” was Kapell’s “Pictures…” from 1951. It was not end of the w...

Romy, thanks for your prompt response. I find your response a bit appalling since I seriously hope I can get away by achieving a similar sound by not paying the full price. What did click about the Olympian? Might be easier to do comparison. Say ...

This Sunday is was devastating. It was 85F in my town with 1000000% humidity. I did not sleep the whole high before and felt not god. The center air-conditioned in my house did not work as I expected and since I tolerate heat very badly I felt li...

Very cool, N-set! There is some sort of "felt" that is specifically made for bearing/sliding furniture. It is very hard - for felt - and it might be just the ticket. I would try them between your metal discs (under the spikes) and the floor, as w...

I have written in past that for some mystery reasons my PP3000+, and I presume all other PP3000+, do adversely affected by switching power supplies in the feeding line. I have PP3000+ and older PP3000 and both of them works wonderfully, one on main l...

The former subject of Bruckner and women got some new perspective recently. Amy and I met a few days before last year’s Valentine primary as two Bruckner mamzies. We did not develop the “sparkling chemical reaction” right the way since the day #1. I...

It was Friday around 11.30AM and I was sitting in my downtown office, watching live NASSA-TV broadcast from Cape Canaveral of the Atlantis’ launch. As the Shuttle took off from the launching platform the commentator said “America will continue the dr...

After trying these reticulated foams for some time now, I ended up with using them only on the JMLC 1400 with the Radian 475 beryllium drivers. I had a smallish bump about where it worked. It flattened out and the sound changed a little. It sounded a...

Again, moving the speakers last night I felt that I really would like to move the speakers closer to the mid of the room – the further the speakers from the back wall the more interesting sound. There is another “again” in what I felt last night. I t...

Living for over a month without any meaningful playback I kind of begin to miss it but today I had something very special. I stopped by to my local NH guy. He had some changed in playback, not all that I like but still generally positive. We listened...

My first thought is for a "very dense layer of foam", or maybe very good felt, between two hard, even "slipping surfaces", such as 2X4s or even "5/4" (1" net) or 3/4" net oak boards. This might be a fairly thin sandwich that the entire length of...

I was watching the program and it was as disgusting as I could theoretically imagine. The New York Philharmonic was quite fine; in fact the Dvorak’s “New Word” they played was remarkably good. There were some slippages in the play, in the end of the ...
