suspending monitors from the ceiling
@erik_squires What is the difference between suspension and springs which allows movement in all directions? Townshend's platforms come to mind.  
Herbie’s Super Black Holes
@roxy54    I have a Theta Miles CDP which uses the pioneer platter. it still benefits from better footers. In my case I use my DIY roller block. Might try springs to see if they are better. but the roller blocks are a very good upgrade  
Wilson not delivering speakers as scheduled
@ozzy62 I'm amazed when the obvious goes unseen,   denied & then the witness ridiculed. I remember trying to point out something to a dog and they just looked at my finger.kinda like battered wife syndrome. Get the he** beat out of you on a re... 
Pairing Lyngdorf 2170 with REL T9x
You need to follow step 2   Next, connect a long RCA-RCA interconnect from either an unused input on a preamp or receiver to the REL’s .1/LFE input. Do this even if you have no interest in theater, you are creating an audio ground, nothing more... 
I did the right thing after all.
Congratulations. I have read so many good reviews that I'd love to try them myself. However, since my system is in the LR, these (and most of Tekton) floor standers are too tall.  
Seeing sounds and music.....
@mahgister I have never been exposed to ideas put forth by you and others. So I thanks you for making me aware of these things, even though I have never had such thingsFor me, music has filled many needs over my lifetime. It has been a life long f... 
The return of the DIYer
+1 @ mrklas We indeed do live in a world of specialization. And this specialization has brought about a society which has knowledge of one small piece of the pie. Yet fewer than ever understand what the whole pie is supposed to taste likeI’m with...

What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey?
Growing up in the lower eastern shore of MD (Del-Mar-Va Peninsula) was somewhat isolated, especially for R&R music in the 50's & 60's. Any radio station which changed its genre to R&R usually lasted no more than 6 mos. if that. yes, we... 
Has Anyone Here Tried The SVS Soundpath Feet On A Rel Sub?
Thanks guys. FWIW, my system sounds fabulous. But I've learned that through the tweaks I have made that it can sound even more fabulous. Thus my question? That said, ....@b_limo & @ dadork    Thanks for the recommendation. Though it does seem... 
That Other Audiophile Website
The OP has started another thread about the same topic. Trolling? 
Value of adding Vandersteen Sub 3's with M5-HP high pass filters to Treo CTs?
I see no mention of a phono preamp. A good phono preamp is as important as the TT itself. 
Has Anyone Here Tried The SVS Soundpath Feet On A Rel Sub?
You are right @ millercarbon. My mistake. It couples it to the floor which is what Rel wants to happen. I knew Rel’s had a different approach. I just didn’t know how big the difference is. This may be the reason for poor reviews by some. I suspect... 
Budget High Current Power Cords
@twoleftears  I tend to believe it more along the marketing lines than what is actually necessary. IE, used commercial / industrial  circular saws when I was in business (Builder/contractor/carpenter I used 12ga electrical cable to run my saws whi... 
Can You Hear Me Now
@ teo_audio I always enjoy observation of what makes us tick;  cause & effect if you will. So thanks for the post. I wish I could type that fast. I'd have to have started when I woke up this morning to type all that. Self taught with big fing...
