What isolation feet under your amp with great result?
I used some empty cat food cans under an amp the other day to raise it up and it sounded quite good. Can't really say if it helped or not. 
Is my Reel to Reel worth anything?
It's no good. Send it to me. Akai made great R2R's. Don't believe otherwise. 
JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies?
I have a pair of 4343's That I acquired a few months back. They had the same problem. Moving them further apart and way into the room alleviated the somewhat irritating glare that was present on some recordings. Toe in is very slight. Here is a gr... 
A Soundsmith Re-tip Believer
I've had quite a few cartridges retipped by van den Hul over the years. He did a great job on my Dynavector Ruby. Since he has retired I would be tempted to use Soundsmith because I hate to throw a good cartridge away.

Speakon connectors are just old timey high level speaker connections like we used in the old days when receivers didn’t have sub outs. Maybe it’s great but seems archaic. Most subs still have high level connections for older receivers I suppose. I...

MiniDSP could be employed to integrate the subs if one wanted to get more involved than a simple setup. https://www.minidsp.com/

Chaz, - 6 @19hz is getting closer. Now if REL can just go a little lower for less $. The RELs are pretty though.

You have a point Sounder. Just pointing out cheaper and better options.Chaz, it’s not fake news. Try listening to a simple acoustic recording then a complicated classical piece and see which seems more detailed.Tweak, any quality sub can be integr... 
Subwoofer insight.
Of course the RELs sound more detailed because they are producing less music that would otherwise compete with the higher bass frequencies. The less bass a speaker produces the more detailed they seem. By saying you will never play anything with b...
