racks and shelves

I can only help with your fourth question, and it depends on whether or not it's carrying a coconut.

Jdwek, the Neuance shelf will sit on upturned spikes all on its own. Yet, I have heard that an African swallow perched on each corner helps to eke out the last scintilla of hifi performance from this fine shelf. Neuance is at www.neuanceaudio.com; they give an e-mail address but I don't know about phone number. But Ken on this site could tell you.

The African swallow is not as fast as music on a Neuance shelf - whether carrying a coconut or not. By the way, when carrying a coconut it manages to hit terminal velocity very quickly.

I have successfuly used lead shot to quickly dampen the vibrations of passing swallows. Works especially well with MIT 750 "shotgun" terminator ICs. be sure to lead the swallow slightly before firing.

If that fails, try throwing some Shataki stones at the flagrant fowl, or plugging both of the swallow's feet directly into your power conditioner. But be sure to get the polarity of the feet correct. The swallow will then stop resonating immeadiately and you will eliminate any background noise. --Lorne
