Nice! And, yes, fun too. The flag can stay. And now a question; Cork? 1) If I used that to cover all of, say, one wall (long side) would that add significant...
-Hi Paul, I was once told that the very best way to learn a subject is to have to teach it. Believe me, I haven't learned enough about acoustics to presume to...
Fellow tweakers, Here I am trying to grapple with the sound of teflon insulation when along comes a whole nuther ponderable subject. So, how do your knobs...
If I had 10 million dollars in the bank, I wouldn't pay $485 for a wood knob! That's each, I believe. They won't have to sell many to make a profit, huh? :-)...
- Hi again Paul, I did some window shopping on the web last night for "cork panels". WOW! 1'x1'x3/8" at around $4.00 each! Now that I think/recall it was...
I was thinking of drapes. Or some drape-like panels as seen in some big movie theaters. Maybe hand made with fiberglass panels placed behind them jim... ... ...
I was already aware that cork was not a low-cost solution (my wife has been planning this new house for 2 years - she knows the price of everything). That's...
I have considered actually using a fabric as a wall 'paper' cover. Perhaps as vertical strips leaving wall board in between. Paul ... some big ... behind ... ...

The main upstairs TV system the whole family uses still plays from the built in TV speakers. My wife just can't stand doing gyrations to watch 60 minutes. It...
Several years ago I saw a stereo receiver (from one of the higher up manufacturers) reviewed, that was built like a receiver and looked like a receiver, and...
My happy story: 1) I read through your whole diatribe about the nested menu receiver and the impossible hookups. I believe your writing it was cathartic and...
... big ... behind ... Hi Jim, As Bob Hope would sing;"Thanks for the memories." In a previous room I did use drapes to hide a cheap and ugly but highly...
I hear you, brother! I too am awash in new 'digital' equipment that is as useless as - ???. My vintage Sansui gear is,in a word, functional. Even my...
There are now several touch screen 'learning' remotes that work all your equipment from one unit - and it is displayed in ENGLISH on the screen - so even your...
Hi Paul. "Thanks for the memories" to you also. When those digital watches first came out and my dad could no longer teach my younger siblings how to tell time...
LOL!!! And, I remember when the first heads-up digital displays appeared in fighter aircraft - somewhere about the F-106 as I recall - and the pilots were...
Anyone else here done this? I would be interested to receive comments from you, if you have done it, and how you'd describe the changes. Wish I'd done it a...
Hello Timbo, There was a post and follow ups on the 75 ohm issue yesterday on the AA here http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/digital/messages/81562.html I've...
The statement below was copied from tweakaudio.com but remember, they SELL things. One thing they say is the quality of the resistor makes a difference. I've...

reflections??? Sounds to me like something that "rf" does in an improperly terminated cable . . . . . Or have *they* figured that one out by now? Roger...
I wish I could find the article again but haven't been able to. It's been at least 5 years ago, possibly longer and may have been BS or at least not fact. It...
Does terminated refer to properly installing the proper connectors on the ends of the cables, or does it refer to having the proper electrical load in the...
