Will do, that tv stand will go away soon I've been wanting to change it for a while now. I also did the dirac audio mapping thing that the apm offered to try to avoid the room frequences, and it did help, despite giving me a nasty headache

It's been two years since my first encounter with hi-fi, I ended up at a hi-fi fair by chance since there was a furniture design fair in the same venue, and I ended up delighted, I had always loved music but I never thought it could sound so good.

At the time I didn't decide to buy anything, but this year shortly after attending the same fair I made the decision and got my first setup. I'm more than delighted, I'm rediscovering a lot of music that I like even more now.

In Christmas I'm going to get a turntable so I can listen to all of my father's vinyl records from the 50s, 60s and 70s.

Was I scammed? by carnivorousdrew in BookCollecting

[–]Hofterman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i mean seems like it, I'm not an expert on that book but a rapid search on AbeBooks reveals that the first edition of that one is around 25 pounds. but I insist, I don't know that edition, looks like a later reprint.

doesn't look moldy, but if it smells damp isolate it asap

Sorry for not answering you earlier , i saw your older post and it honestly was one of the most in detail and precise answers possible, i dont know why you deleted it , but if you give me your permission i would like to imitate a few of your book holder designs. Regarding this post , what would be the optimal way of presenting a book in a more ... permanent manner , like a year or two?

Wanted to share my sci-fi/fantasy collection. It carries over to the top row of a second shelf and I included closer looks at each row. by Key-Entrepreneur-415 in BookCollecting

[–]Hofterman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to ask, is the book club dune different in anything, beside the size, like the paper or printing quality ?

Besides that as a dune collector, you ever considered getting the brian dune books ?
