Sound Absorption Behind and Between the Speakers?
I ended up adding two absorbing panels behind my speakers and it allowed me to fully open the rear port on my sierra raal towers from ascend acoustic. Without the panels I had to use a partial plug that blocked the outer diameter of the port becau... 
House buying and the aspiring audipihile
I am outside of Austin. Arguably one the best town in the country for music. Big reason for which I made it our retirement home. And now with my new house of stereo it pretty much sealed the fact that we will end our days here. 
Downside to "revealing" system?
Try the Puffin, wide range of adjustments perfect for tweaking the sound of poorly sounding records. It's the only reason I have one as my second phono preamp. 
The most criminal practice in the speaker industry revealed!! Keep reading
Dave Fabrikant at Ascend Acoustic publishes graphs with his sierra towers and probably all his speakers. They are published on his website and I even got graphs included with my towers specifically measured for that pair! All that for under $3,000... 
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
Being new to reading this blog, I never had the chance to read anything from Al. The outpouring of love towards him tells me how I missed out. Wishing Al, Margaret and their families the strength to handle this crisis with courage. 
Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl
Unless you play your vinyl at 120 db :) 
Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl
I use a TTW audio outer ring extreme V2, made in Canada. Extremely efficient and much less expensive than the VPI outer ring. That being said, once again, I don't believe that's your problem since I have never experienced the woofer pumping you de...

It's obviously not warp vinyl. Something is seriously wrong with your setup. Good idea to start at the cart alignment and go up the chain from there. 
“BLOCK” Function?
Many who are not good enough to assert themselves in real life do iton social media.They are not worthy of anyone's attention. They stick out like a sore thumb on any blog, no matter the subject. Just do as suggested, ignore them, bypass their pos...

Missed the tube amp thing, can't help you there, use SS. 
Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl
I have a VPI Classic 1 with Lyra kleos and Zephyr when Kleos is being retipped and never had my woofers and subs pumping. Always had it set on concrete slabs, but I doubt that would make much difference, also use an outer ring but go without it at... 
has anybody else noticed this about singers?
Dylan and Janis Joplin are both as painful as chalk on a blackboard to me. 
has anybody else noticed this about singers?
Kevin Ayers resonates with me better than anyone. Duda from Riverside is pretty awesome too. 
Are all Audiophiles masocists?
Having only recently entered the gon, I can already tell that it comes at a high risk. On one hand, you can find good basic sound advice, on the other hand, you can find yourself submerged in an unending search for sound nirvana through endless me... 
How much space between cables is enough?
Glupson is touching on how I feel about it. Not only would I not like to stare at fishing lines holding cables across my listening room (I apologize but I was being sarcastic about the fishing line weight), but I would also dislike looking at wire...
