EXACTLY! Copy all - especially that *12* microvolt measurement. (!) Lee, all I can say is that from over here it sounds like you already are where I am headed. Q: Do you know how hard it is to get any normal people to ponder/discuss the cost/benefit ratio of running your line level stuff off...

derek92994, Years ago (as in pre-solar panel era) there was a gentleman who wrote extensively about how he chased the dream of a sound system that had the best dynamic range possible. Sure, he had the loud end covered with plenty of quality throw-weight (thinking K-horn or Infinity Beta-level...

Lee, it is in Richmond, VT, about 12 minutes south of Burlington, and you can see it from I-89. I used to drive by it every day on the way to the airbase. It's hard to capture the sheer size in the photo, but looking at my car parked next to it helps... After a loving restoration, it's now...

Speaking of Barndominiums -- I would even have a theme song - "I like big barns & I cannot lie..."

Wait until I retire and build my barndominium, won’t be worried about how long a 20hz wave is, just whether the line voltage can keep up. Barndominium -- that's got a ring to it, I like it! FWIW all my friends have heard me describe the Garage Mahal that I want to build for myself...

Lee, in all my years of troubleshooting/fixing/predicting future reliability/performance of military Avionics, I tend to rarely, if ever, use the term 100%. But in this case, I will make an exception to the above. That drummer is 100% the fairer sex...and easy on the eyes to boot. Fact. :0)

Lee, Snagged the last one. (Only 1 I could find -- the law of Supply & Demand has conspired to make this a bit more dear...but given the lab I'm piecing together it's a relative bargain. (ie: It doesn't matter how much gear I've amassed, it's how many x how deep I have managed to...

Lee, I know... ...Wonder if she has a slide rule? And if she does...wonder if she needs a drum tech? (edit) And in the listening room I can almost hear her say, "Could you turn it up, please?" Life would be pretty OK... :0)

Negative, Lee...not until you just shared it with me. Good news - this hole in my audio library has just been resolved for a fair price! (See attached) So often the unnecessary complications from all this technology sux my will to live -- but not tonight...

For those of you who like a clean, dynamic recording of a good drummer, here's someone who brings more to the table than you would expect from first glance: So talented she makes it look easy...but it's not. And I would be sure to point out to NavLinear that she also happens to have a...

NeverSatisfied, My past experience agrees with yours regarding large rooms for 'big sound' -- we're on the same page! **** The interaction between "the sound of the system" AND "the sound of the room" gets pretty complicated/abstract quickly. (and not to mention that this is an area where I'm...

...and she would be the one to upgrade the microwave oven from 120v to 240v (+ beefier magnetron) in order to cut the elapsed time of cooking said tuna casserole... I'm smelling win-win here! :0)

LOL - Too funny! **** ...Then again, if you were to broach the subject that it's not just raw displacement (& accompanying resistance) but ...displacement x rpm x time (rhythmic impedance) = true ergs/watts/joy/whatever is accomplished... ...she could follow the concept & agree to perform some...

J!m, I feel the same exact way -- there is a sense of satisfaction when you fix something in order to get the total "price per use" lower than it was when previously abandoned... BTW, I liked your mixed metaphor, and got to wondering if I'd ever heard/read it before? As it turns out...

Marco, it's so hard when we lose one of our parents. My mom passed after a long illness back in '96, but as long as my sisters & I, plus all her friends remember her she did not die. She was an artist, and gave me a lifelong passion for finding beauty wherever I look. I'm sure that your...

Thanks for the positive feedback! Normally I try to take something 'worn out' and work on it so that it becomes 'worn in'. ...So by not taking the time to properly protect the turntable prior to putting it away just bothered me no end. There's a phrase floating about that rang my bell in a...

I just checked eBay, and it looks like if I preferred I could have bought a brand new dust cover instead of massaging what I got. Of course the most affordable one has a photo where I can't really tell if it is clear, or smoked like the factory one? Is it hazy in person, or is it just a bad...

"Yes, it can be done by hand, but you'll need some time & effort. Budget a couple quarters of a football game. NOTE: If you want to utilize a force multiplier, the entry level of chucking up a foam polishing pad (~$10 from Harbor Freight) to a variable-speed drill is completely legit." Looks...

OK, this might seem a bit out of sequence in the overall scheme of things, but for me when I'm starting a really big project it sometimes helps to figure out what is the one thing that I least look forward to...and just jump on that first. (ie: If I get all the dreaded stuff out of the way then...

11 days later, this Tek 475/DM 40 combo actually showed up, as promised! It made the trip successfully, arriving in the exact same condition as shown in the auction! The first thumbnail shows that the seller employed multiple layers of packaging, including a piece of foam over the delicate...
