Paul, I thought about the wall mount, but eventually decided to go with a more universal, pref. end of life solution, I could place anywhere. I've never had a dedidcated rack, a time to have one.The result is a slate-on-steel-frame 500kg mastodont, I...

Paul, wood it is not almost for sure: there was hardly any wood and wood craftsmenavailable in Gdansk in the 50's when my building was built. Almost completely (95%)destroyed in march 1945 when pushing the Germans out, it was rebuit mostly usingreinf...

The room is beautiful, and I love the tree stump "rack" with the amps, it is clearly a work in progress, but they already put in the "Western Electric" badges on! It talks a lot about their priorities I guess!They have what seems to be a midrange ...

.... is that it is so freaking big! I kind of unsuccessfully trying to find a place for it in my rack and it is difficult. The most prominent to me Pacific’s function is A/D processing and it menace that I need to have an access to the A/D inputs – f...

Many thanks, Romy, will try it out and report back in a week or so.Regarding using a rack as a frame: it is good for prototyping as it is so flexible. Indeed, even aluminium is fine, because one can mass load it simply by mounting a 2U or 3U ...

Hi Romy,Yes there was a reason. I typically used four arms on the table, the fourth being a shorter Ortofon rmg-212. The problems with the arrangements of two shorter arms with the two longer arms with the cable exit on bottom of the micro arm (which...

On initial installation of my borrowed 1050 i used power cords i have as extras. Did so cause i was still using my BPT for everything but my amps. I had a hum and high pitch buzz from my speakers. Replacing the power cord feeding my amps was the cure...

Two "temporary" solutions worth considering:1) A big nasty Krell KAV 500i (stereo 2x250 into 8 Ohms; 2x500w into 4 Ohms; built-in preamp; excellent volume potentiometer; remote; holds resale value). Though the mid range and HF of Krell amps is not co...

There is a sort of "spool" or "drum" for cable "slack" that used to be run by a fool-proof rack-and-pinion gear, along with the mast; but, times being what they are, it is probably a very foolish "digitally controlled" separate motor assembly now. S...

It would be great if PP has perfect engineering notes on the different versions in general and the exact changes just made to your original unit in particular. While they may have a general record or notions of the changes I am not sure you should ex...

I guess you didnt have a chance to listen to the station broadcasting from the Met while in New York? Perhaps it is different. I get met broadcasts on satellite radio and the quality is horrendous but I guess thats a different story. Frankly, I...

Romy,I don't see a wine rack in the view of the speakers. I believe that the wine needs music to age properly, just as we do. A dark cellar is said to have advantages but the fish down there are albinos. Perhaps some research into how the music of Sc...

"So many people today are interested in audio only to make money, or for show, or as one of their many passing hobbies"I occasionally go to the meetings of a recorded music society. A group of maybe 50 mainly older (50+) people gather in one of the l...

Since the last week, when I put the left 6-way Super Milq in duty I am hardly wiling start working on the right channel. I left it as is for a while, screw it.. I am too lazy and not in a mood to do it for now… I found recently a space to put my tape...

Just a quick suggestion regarding stands/shelves :I don't know if it would fit in with your décor, but sturdy shelves on wheels would allow you to reconfigure at will (or when you move to a new house, get a divorce, etc). They are also really ni...

Ah, last night, after midnight I picked in McMaster-Carr some elements for my proposed Supper Melq rack. Thy shipped it UPS ground and I had it delivered that same day! How they do it? Anyhow, I connected two shelves with 4 x 12” by 5/8” rods. I tigh...

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...

I'm not sure if the Salamander-style rack (wooden shelves supported by nuts and washers on threaded rods) will support 800 pounds, but if you put heavier items near the bottom then a wide heavy-duty version might be fine. Besides Salamander, some ot...

Having a big window in front at night it becomes like a big mirror, some might get self conscious about it! JA The thing about glass is that it eats up bass and reflects highs like crazy, having said that, some of the best rooms I listened to, had...

Here is the rack that I put on the wall with all opera room equipment
to tin it from Thomas. I was not able to

N-Set, I do not claim to add to the facts you have already comprehensively given, I am merely asking about the logic, and I do not suggest to have a definitive answer, hence my ending with a question. I can see three reasons why other people use spik...

Reading the title of the original post I was under the impression that a new product was out or discovered that was a computer based optical drive system with storage as it's secondary function but it looks like just another storage based system with...

N-set, I've seen and done plenty of all-concrete construction, including floors and entire roof structures, standard, pre- and post-tensioned, and also shot-crete. Ironically, concrete itself actually gets stronger over time, for many, many years (m...

Here is a little update on my DIY suspended rack.The top TT table is made and preliminary tested for lekages.This is basically a 1,4m x 0,7m DIY Vibraplane clone. The steel profile is now filled with perlite. I feel it damps worse than sand+steel sho...
