Best sub isolation?
My floor is so wobbly and hollow, (I live in a 30' yurt), that I'd almost given up on using my turntable except when all 'traffic' was gone. Out of pure frustration built a four cornered bungee suspended platform attached to my component stand. Wo... 
Best sub isolation?
Super advice everyone! Got me thinking outside the box....I have built a wooden frame 24" X24" X 6" with one semi heavy bungee cord woven back and forth creating a trampoline weave which being tested with the weight of the sub causes it to hover o... 
Best sub isolation?
I would just get the feet and surely will do so but my floor is "special". After a year of trial and mostly error finally cured my turntable issue. Now my wife can dance through the listening/living room with no problem and never have feedback. Ad... 
tweaks that impress the unsuspecting
Question: Anyone ever compare SubDude sub isolator with  IsoAcoustics Iso-200Sub Subwoofer Isolation Stand? They both are about the same price and with my wooden floor I need help with my SVS PC-2000! OR maybe just some cork blocks under a solid ... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk VS Blackhawk
I suppose most casual audiophiles (like me) really don't deserve the moniker "audiophile" because as was rightly stated I had no personal experience that I could draw upon to empirically testify better upgraded parts could revolutionize the qualit... 
Cheap Tweeks
Cheap tweeks.... Diversitech  EVA Anti-Vibration Pad under my Klipsch LaScalas on my unstable wooden floor snapped the audio image into sharp focus. Quite remarkable actually. Short of buying the IsoAcoustics GAIA I Speaker Isolators @ $599.95 pe... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk
Millercarbon has caught me at it again...I stand accused of hyperbole! (All in good humour) May I really be honest with you? The Blackhawk is really Waaayyyyy better. Since I've owned both the Nighthawk and Blackhawk I should know! The tone and ti... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk
I have owned both the Nighthawk AND Blackhawk. Had Nighthawk almost a year then traded up to Blackhawk. Almost didn't make the change because I honestly didn't believe it could get better (law of diminishing returns theory). I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG...

how can low watt tube amps drive speakers with higher power requirements
"Back in the day" we bought stereo systems and the first thing asked was, " How many watts?" Every manufacturer played the numbers game to perfection because we had become "spec sheet scientists". {RMS @ 8 Ohms 20 - 20000...THD 0.000001 S/N ratio.... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3
Hey Stonecutter54...do call them. One of my biggest surprises was when my wife (listening from adjacent room) said, "It sounds like the cello is in the room!" She was stunned and coming into the room said (pointing at the Nighthawk Integrated amp)... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3
Its a long story....worked at stereo store back in the day. McIntosh dealer, Nakamichi, etc. So we tried everything. Luxman was hot then too. Lived with McIntosh MC 2105 with Luxman C-1010 pre for quite a while. Crook stole my new Bang and Olufsen... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3
Millercarbon is right again...per usual. I do listen to a wide variety of music, including some Rush, Grand Funk Railroad, J. Geils Band, Aerosmith, but who can beat some Antonio Carlos Jobin, Bebel Gilberto, and Maria Rita? Debussy can shine in a... 
A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV
Hey JB...I know how you feel. (Disregard the haters) Its the super efficiency of the Klipsch Heritage group. I104db @ 1 watt RMS into 8  Ohms) Any change in kit is amplified in its noticeable impact. Early on I wondered why "everything" made a suc... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3
The Triton 2's are rated at 92 @ 1 watt so...they are a tad hard to drive but (depending on your volume preference) they should be fine. Room size and brightness will also be a factor. (If you live in a 30' X 30' carpet store it could be a problem...
