hYdrociTy is that you? I don't think I'd fare to well taking apart the EVs and attempting such major surgery. Based on past experiences, I suspect I'd kill them. The second approach of applying flat pieces of shielding to the speakers is a lot more feasible, but I'd need to do both sides and the bottom of each speaker. I might have to do the top and back as well. It's not a CRT I'm trying to protect, it's my computer, external HDDs, flash memory, laptop, DSLR, etc etc. I am unsure of the respective EMR sensitivity of these various items, but I'm not really looking to find out either. I am investigating both the Sierra-1s and the Quads. The latter of course enjoys an excellent reputation, on head-case and elsewhere. Sadly, I have never heard a pair. The Sierras are most likely in my price range. Dare I ask what Quad 12L actives cost?

CRTs are actually extra-sensitive to to EMR from speakers. It's LCDs that are much more immune. Do the Quads make your CRT turn funny folors and warp the image?

A recent Craig's List New York listing:

As part of the renovation of my house, I moved some the cabinets in my kitchen, and there's no longer room for the hutch on my computer desk. Said hutch has held my ancient-but-beloved EV Sentry studio monitors for years. I can't set the EVs on the desk because they're not magnetically shielded in the slightest. I'm in the market for some replacements, cost $500-1,500. That's a big range I realize, but house repairs have uh, complicated my financial situation, and I'm unsure how much I'll be able to spend. I'm leaning toward unpowered, unless there's a great deal on powered monitors in that price range. I used a Hafler P125 (60WPC) to drive the EVs, but I also have an EV amp that puts out 600W RMS (it's a PA amp, yes I am aware how silly that is.) Source is either the analog out from my NAD receiver (video game noises, youtube) or the loop out from GLite (fed by my Adcom). Suggestions?

Maybe you should stick to snacking.

The only things remotely political I've posted in here recently are the Tony Benn quote and George W. Bush making grabass with the women's volleyball team. Neither of those has much to do with the one-sided idealogue "humor" appearing in here or the grinding gears thread. Most of what I post is inane or insane, or both.

Miau!

Not gonna quote the pic of the GS-1 yet again, but let me say that's a very nice amp. Not as cute looking as the GLite/DPS stack, but significantly more versatile, and arguably better sounding.

Strictly speaking, it's the past subjunctive mood. "If JB were gay..." OH HAY look at the smiley I found:

That's pretty cool. It'd be an ideal candidate for the Slow Forum thread.

My problems are comparatively trivial to naamanf's. That said, three decades of mental illness is enough to grind the dog teeth of anyone's gears.

Lots of groceries and building supplies I'm too tired to list. 8GB SD thumbdrive, $30, marked down from $100 2M dual RCA to 1/8" mini, Monster branded $6 (stop looking at me like that!) tried, but was not able to obtain, replacement bags for my 20 gal wet/dry vac. ditto for a pair of Koss Sparkplugs

Me too. I pride myself in being one the particularly slow users on h-c (as exhibited above). Anime OS Horror:
