Air Bladder Isolation, Cheap
I have heard some use the inflatable doughnut cushions sold at drug stores for people with hemeriods or other unfortunate problems. Given the anal retentive tendencies of many hobbyists, this may be more appropriate for some. A layer of bubble-rap... 
Does room size affect volume and bass?
Lets not get too technical.A speaker fed identical signal level will produce the same output, but the room will make a big difference, just as where you position speakers does. A small speaker that sounds thin and bright in a large room can be tra... 
Best female vocals on CD
Too many to list in Damn Shame.Has anyone heard Mandy Barnett?"Ive got a right cry " is a collection of mostly old "stndards" in the Patsy Cline style that is very enjoyable.I love all kinds of music,but cant stand over produced fodder like Maria ... 
Are audiophiles pot heads???
My advise is never judge sound after hitting a big fatty. I dont know anyone who crashed his car, beat his wife, or couldnt make it to work in the morning because of pot. Cant say that about the govornment supported drug. Politics aside, whatever ... 
SIM Audio DEPRECIATION - Slide to hole?
SIM is made in Canada and I think retail up there is lower than U.S. Not sure how much, but might effect resale. 
Best solid-state amp made anywhere
I think you guys with your trash taik are hilarious. Where are the Krell lovers to take on all comers? I have not heard all the super amps, but I know amps sound different in different systems. Only one way to find out what works with yours. Whats... 
BEST HEAVY METAL BAND
I liked Black Sabath when I was a kid, but outgrown. Is all metal kids stuff, or is there anything out there that isnt just silly macho posturing? I like some cuts from Praxis(Buckethead kills) and Bad Brains, but they are not pure metal.Whats rea... 
YBA Audiorefinement/Musical Fidelity A3
I have read that the YBA is not very load tolerant but the MF is. If you know what you want, AA is not a rip off, they give you 30 days. The most important thing is what works best with your setup. Try to hear them in your home. 
Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green
Not to bash Clapton or Green, they are both great song writers and guitarists.But they are not the genuine article(Clapton realy wishes he was). Any cubs around to catch live? Even some of the little known acts cook. Saw SRV in a small hall, he wa... 
Speakers: all-time worst
Bose reps in the 70s had an insane demo I guess to show the durability of the 901s fool-range drivers. They wouuld plug the speaker directly into a wall socket. It would rip the cones to shreds but remain buzzing at 60hz. With technology like that... 
Small Speakers w/ Full Range Sound
Using Totem 1s to good effect running full range with subwoofer.Tryed a couple floorstanders but they wouldnt play basslines in my room although they did fine in larger rooms.The Totems use Dynaudio main drivers and are a little current hungry.One... 
Am I deaf?
Now that this has become a pre-amp discussion,those wiht experience might comment on dynamics.Do you loose out with passive?
