    Foot Fetish

    So am I but I figured I'd give the new feet a try. I've been in tweak mode over the past year or two... - I may start a thread in the future regarding my system, looking for thoughts/opinions on my weakest link. I'm confident that the folks on this forum would have some good advice to start me...

    Dire Straits - Making Movies DR comparison

    I agree they're all pretty amazing. The last one, 'On Every Street' sounds pretty darn incredible.

    Sound Stage

    I'm not a headphone guy but I picked up some cheap Bluetooth headphones a few months ago for plane trips to use with my phone. I guess, as you mention, I was imagining a soundstage. Maybe it's the stereo location and reverb of, for instance, a string quartet on stage. Or when listening to a...

    Sound Stage

    I just watched a video of Jim talking about 83%. So I'd be sitting INSIDE an equilateral triangle? EDIT: Duh. I get it now. (It's been a while since algebra 1...) If my tweeters are 8' apart, my ears should be about 9.65 feet away. I think that's about where my ears are. Cool.

    Fyne S-Trax

    AudioQuest 1000 Speaker connectors or 1007 series. What is the difference?

    Ha! Yeah that silver would have been around $4K a couple weeks ago.

    New Vintage Audio Restoration HQ

    Thank you. I think they call that figure on walnut "feathering." I could stare at it all day but now it's covered with my components!..

    Good advice. Yeah I had the guy sand it down to 600 at my request and he used a satin compound varnish before I added the car stuff.

    New Vintage Audio Restoration HQ

    Well, this isn't audio restoration, but it's a table I had made by a guy in the Ozarks for my stereo gear. Don't worry, everything is on Isoacoustic feet. 2" thick black walnut, 6'x2'. It came with a satin finish. I added a bit of ceramic car finish to add a little more gloss. Crazy deep 3D...

    In line with Jay, Mike & Elliot....

    Finished it. That was great. Thanks again. Full disclosure: I went with a Cardas "loom" over the past year. (Clear Cygnus. It fit my budget and my gear IMO). Happily, J

    This is awesome. I'm playing the whole thing. I'm only 20 minutes into it and I have to go clean up the kitchen now and get ready for a basketball game on tv, but man, this is a great conversation to watch with two cable giants. - Looking forward to finishing it. Thanks!
