| Tweak worth 100X It's price - Vibrapods Mack many of us share your enthusiasm regarding Vibrapods. I am confused regarding your shelf setup though. You put the pods under the component & then the MDF shelf under the pods?I have always used them the opposite way - that is:Black Diamo... | |
| need decent cheap pre amp to drive A Golden Tube SEP-2 or SEP-3 pre will do nicely for a very reasonable cost, includes remote, & may even have an internal phono stage if so equipped. Tubes also provide the option of rolling in different tube-types in order to alter sonic signa... | |
