Cable elevators
I use fingertip towel rings. There is no way for the cable to fall off the support because it it threaded through the rings.. The base is weighted so it will not fall over. The weight of the cable makes it self stabilizing as well.

For Gallo Nucleus Reference Owners

For Gallo Nucleus Reference Owners
I have owned my Gallo Ref 3.5's for the last 12 years and have no intention of replacing them.  Most loudspeakers have a dome tweeter with a port in a box.  That design is about as far from the Ref 3.5's you can get.   I would look to Spatial X4'...

Bricasti Amplifier M25
I have a pair of Bricasti M28 amps in my system.  They replaced JRDG monoblocks which had separate power supplies.  Compared with the Rowlands, the Bricasti M28's are superior, especially in the mid to high frequency range.  The highs are more ope...

Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things?
Hi!The stand was $1995.00 for a five shelf unit measuring 24" wide x 18" deep x 44" in height.  The vertical spacing is 8 " above each shelf.  I chose the dimensions and Mike confirmed with a line drawing on graph paper e-mailed to me.  He never m...
