Is there any interesting music coming from France ?
Quite a lot to check out. Thank you.  
Isolation recommendations for my Pathos Inpol2 MkII, heavy Class A integrated amp (38kg)
Yes, I would first try Audio Points with coupling discs as well. Stillpoints might of course work better but they are not inexpensive. Another approach - just leave it as it is, I understand it sounds good already.

Well, I guess, it can't be posted here.

Hello Jon. What is the email address to send messages to ?  
What’s your favorite SOUND?
Bagpipes ? Oh man.. But they are fun, anyway.  
What’s your favorite SOUND?
Agree with stuartk. But, generally speaking, I like vocal and guitars.   
Disappointments
Definitely, about speakers. Speakers are especially tough to guess right when buying unheard. They might in fact sound great but you might not like this kind of sound. I don't like, generally speaking, both panel and horn speakers. Well, at least ... 
Disappointments
The room is almost irrelevant when you do near field listening. That's how you test equipment to begin with. You eliminate the room. And if it sounds good then you add the room. Clean wall current delivery is half the sound, and few of us have it ... 
Does Ultralinear kill dynamics
First thing that you want in an amp is enough clean power. Then the rest. In my case of VAC Avatar SE it doesn't have enough power in Triode mode even for my quite sensitive speakers and average size room so I don't use it. And it doesn't have any... 
Calling All Tube Gurus, Poll:Capacitor Rolling vs Tube Rolling
With higher level equipment I wouldn't touch anything but tubes. And with lower level equipment - I don't want it, anyway.  
Is Sound Stage an artifact of recording?
An effort to recreate a 'concert hall experience' is a great way to put it. So, whatever it takes. We don't want flat sound, that's for sure, we want it to be three dimensional. Yes, I don't care much about too sharp imaging, it feels artificial,... 
What if there were no more new speaker models?
They better invent new amplification device and return to analogue recording. The combination of that would be a real progress. I would think that designing great speakers is more difficult than designing great amplifiers. It is a fine art, not u... 
No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables.
milpai, not power cord, I have Neptune Luminist RCA cables.  
No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables.
One could criticize Neptune fluid for not being exactly neutral cable and for softening the sound a little too much but it is very seductive and powerful with incredible soundstage.  
No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables.
I kept Maximus and Colossus fluid RCAs, Colossus being much better, until they ran out of fluid and Purist stopped refilling them with fluid, only with Ferox. I did it and didn't like the result at all, sold them. They were designed to be fluid ca...
