| Thick 2" maple amp platform--couple or isolate? That's a great question, Krell_man. I opted for unfinished but only because I preferred that look. I know that Chris at Timbernation finishes many of his amp stands. Ask him, but I think his finshed stain leaves only the thinnest of layers on the ... | |
| Thick 2" maple amp platform--couple or isolate? This is what Chris made for me. I have one for each monoblock...four in all.http://timbernation.com/Images/mbox.jpgIs it the best thing out there? No idea. They work well for me, were reasonably priced IMO, come in any size I want, and the amps wo... | |
| Thick 2" maple amp platform--couple or isolate? The only other thing I tried was the Sound Anchors amp stands, which are beautifully made. I happen to like the looks and the sound better with the maple. Seems a little livelier, and the bass has more body, less thud. So I'm using the amp stands ... | |

| Thick 2" maple amp platform--couple or isolate? Jeffrey,In my system, I have two sets of monoblocks sitting on maple blocks from Timbernation. I had considered cones/spikes, but opted instead to have Chris (Timbernation) build a laminated box that I partially fill with sand. The maple block the... | |
| I need a speakercable that bring voices forward me Grisslehamn,I see in your history that you have begun five or so threads with either this or a similar question. Sorry that it's not been answered for you, but I too think it would help if you said exactly what other components you are using, as w... | |
| Best intergrated amp for under $2000 I have heard the Rotel 1090, the Unico, the MF 300 and 308, the SimAudio I5, the Pathos Classic One, and the Audiomat Arpege. In terms of musicality, refinement, and the ability to cover ALL of the musical genres you prefer, I believe that the Aud... | |
| New Cain & Cain IM Ben Fostex/double horn - help That's fantastic, Bill.Can't wait to hear those speakers with our Wright's someday.Enjoy!Howard | |
| New Cain & Cain IM Ben Fostex/double horn - help Bill,Have you also tried the gain switch on your preamp? I don't know if yours works the same as on the Wright preamp that we had. Switching the gain down on our Wright WLA12 preamp worked much better in our room. With the gain up, our horns sound... | |
| Prince or whatever he is known as , Wow Saw him years ago on the "1999" tour with The Time and Vanity 6. He was unbelievable. | |

| System building -budget $15,000 I don't know if you can determine this without asking him, but the first thing we did before buying anything was to audition one tube system and one SS system at a high end audio dealer. I knew what I liked going in, but we needed to find out what... | |
| cdp digital volume control or preamp? If you can get by without a remote, you might also consider the Luminous Audio Axiom attenuator. Search the archives for opinions about the Placette or the Luminous ($125 retail).We're swapping between 4W SET amps and 50W triodes, and definitely d... |
