Need help with system improvements.

Thanks....

....how would you define this?

...or is it self explanatory

 

I wouldn't even try. Have a look at this TNT site. Notice the author.

 

Can't read it now...but will some time. Looks interesting.

I don't recognise the name; should I?

 

Because I felt your comment about noisy CD players needed addressing first.

:Lplates:

 

you've then mixed me up with someone else ...I suggest you re read my posts rather more carefully to get the proper meaning.

As Davidf says ......

stability is good .....

coupling the player to the equipment stand is even better....

theres no getting away from the fact that proper stand will help ....

try the lack tables or the tnt flexy both have there plusses and minusse


As to blaming the amps thats not quite what I meant, I'm though familiar with there sound / short comings.

The maplin shark cable is better than the freebie cables supplied but imo could be easily bettered with something like....

or one of the many

twisted silver type diy cables on the web...

 

No I read it clearly - you claimed some CD players only made noise - not music. Bizarre. I guess it depends on what is on the CD.

Nice you managed to recommend something you can supply...

I wonder how long this thread lasts before it locks? How many more posts? I will go for 20. Jim.

 

If you really like the speakers, and really like the amps then I reccomend not changing anything or spending any money

 

Zanash, can I make a suggestion? Ignore SM. For some reason, he seems to enjoy baiting you. If you don't reply, he'll hopefully get bored and move on to another forum.

 

Hi, BN. It's not that I won't change the components if they're not giving me what I want but I'd like to try alternatives first. As i've said, I liked the demo of the 125's with my system; the other differences being that the components were better supported and different cables were used. Given that the support for my kit is possible the wobbliest thing this side of a weeble, I'm going to give the flexi-stand a try and then cables, as these are an unknown quantity.
I do appreciate your comments and I do realise that it's difficult to give advice on something that someone earlier referred to as a 'black art'. It's also difficult for me to explain exactly what the problem is!! Aw, well!

 

I along with a great many other contributers sincerely hope your right ...

But I doubt it ......

SM if your wit does not allow you to do other than only read the literal meaning of statements....your going to find yourself at a serious disadvantage as you grow up ....

 

Echoance

What I'd really suggest, is a little relaxation on exact furniture and speaker location, and then buy the software package ''CARA" (please note full version needed, shareware is completely defeatured and not the same).

After a couple of days of playing, you will know:
what the problem is
how to fix it

 

Stands and cables won't make any difference at all to how it sounds, although it seems to me you have an urge to fiddle in this area, in which case you'll probably end up thinking it sounds better even if it makes no difference. But that's OK. Just don't waste a lot of money doing it.

All IMO and IME. I think Chris (bottleneck) has given the best practical advice so far.

Brave claim - I disagree for one

 

Just wondering what you (and others) found to be pluses and minuses of the stands, would be interesting, as I may well need to build a stand soon, and any thoughts about how the different stands affects things would be fab!

Cheers


[basically I thought iso feet would not make a blind bit of difference, result - quite supprised, hence the intrest in the actual equipment stand, if iso feet do something, the stand must contribute in some way.....]

 

Me too.

 

My own experience pretty much.

I have been astonished at the gains to be made.

I would have a look at the "mana" web site for starters. its a fascinating subject.....vibration control/damping.
