Vibration Tweaks
What selected resonances are being dampened that will not interfere with dynamics, transient speed, or coherence..?You succeeded in re-tuning your arm and cartridge by shifting the resonances to a different frequency. They are still attached. 
Vibration Tweaks
Sistrum and Audiopoints are based on physics and not conjecture. These devices are the only ones I am aware of that were simultaneously designed to evacuate, electrical, mechanical,as well as airborne disturbances. They do not dampen nor do they i... 
Would a Fabric Room Divider Interfere with sound?
The TV is whats interfering with the sound. The fabric could only make it better! You must be experiencing severe reflections off the the TV in between your speakers . If you do build a frame of wood and cloth try taming reflections on the insides... 
Vibration Tweaks
Let it vibrate. You can't fight mother nature. However you can introduce a high speed condutive path for the Coloumb energy to exit. I have been using Audio Points and Sistrum products for nearly 10 yrs. These devices based on Coloumbs law of phys... 
Best used Redbook CDP for 1700
Sony 777es died in comparison against 9year old PS Audio dac and transport. Sony was a joke! Soundstage on Sony was non existent, came right to the speakers edge. 9 year old vintage PS.went from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. I used the same d... 
I need help choosing a power conditioner.
Spend your money improving the electrical path not patching with band-aids. Power conditioners may only help when and where you can not pull a dedicated line with a high quality ac outlet to feed your equipment. Always improve the most basic of si... 
Lowther Voigt Pipes are up and running
I have had cancellation problems with my Dunlavy SC4's. I cured this problem with a crazy looking angled baffle that extends from the top of my speaker to the ceiling. This baffle has about 8 degrees of tilt and hinged angles on the sides. Seems t... 
What are the "best" DYNAMIC speakers available?
Best tonal balance of any loudspeaker in my 34 yr.listening experience is that of the Harmonic Precision Caravels. Must be the series crossover, oh so very dynamic. 
Bridge or not to bridge
Do not buy an Adcom GFA565. I had a pair a few years back and it was crap. I used them on my pair of subs at that time.Anemic is the word. Adcom GFA 5500 is a much better amp or a 5800 or 5802. Tom 
Dialectric grease any thoughts
At that time, I thought, How did I break my system, what have I done lately to make it so non-musicial. I had in the past used the original Ultra-connect formula and really enjoyed the results. However I lost the original and bought the new. After... 
is there really a need for two subs?
Wave launch, and phase intergration of stereo subs is a major part of the blending process. This is mostly a time consuming problem. The process can take much longer when your main speakers have 2 woofers in each cabinet. These woofers, one loadin...

Actually two subs are much harder to blend than one sub. Phase relationships are the key when using stereo speakers.

Members we are, I hope, writing about bass in music, which we have all heard, and not dinosaur footsteps which even I am not old enough-- to have ever heard.---Two sub Tom 
is there really a need for two subs?
I have been using two subs since the year 1981. Stereo subs greatly increase soundstage size, shape, and realism.
