Footers/Shelf Material
Hi Dekay, I know just what you are talking about concerning the PCs. The PCs I use now are so stiff they don't move once formed. I am now playing with the Mapleshade sure feet and triplepoint feet. I am still experimenting with them. I also have t... 
How about a soldering thread?
Hi Pops, It really is simple but like anything else you get better the more times you do it. I have a pair of the 8TC in a bi wire configuration that are 6ft. I am not using these at this time. If they are long enough, you are welcome to borrow th... 
Footers/Shelf Material
Hi Caterhaml, I am beginning to think that all these materials and what ever feet, spikes or whatever can tailor the sound much like ICs and speaker cable. Granite gives a harder sound than maple. MDF was bland and gave the bass a rubbery sound. G... 
Best $5K speakers for SE amp.VOTE NOW!!
Hi Eggpowder, I have a pair of the Coincident Super Eclipse that I use with a 12 watt SET amp. I do wish I had a few more watts at times. I have tried many amps with this speaker and SET amps are by far the best combination with this speaker IMO. ...

Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
Rolf, I don't mean to argue but you are wrong. 
Footers/Shelf Material
Decay, When you talk to Pierre, ask him to send you some iso blocks to put under maple. My experience with mdf was not a positive one. I am getting excellent results with the brass feet under components with the brass feet sitting on the maple wit... 
Best speaker for a 40 watt tube amp
Hi Mfb33, I own the Coincident Super Eclipse. I use a 12 watt amp and only on complex material will it strain. 40 watts on this speaker is more than enough power. The SE is also a full range speaker. For a smaller speaker, Dekay"s advice is very g... 
What is your opinion for MIT850 shotgun?
Hi Hifi, What you hear with the MIT850 is the same thing I hear. There are many who like the MIT but my experience with it is as exactly the same as yours. I gave my MIT stuff to my son. He loves it. 
Help!My systems sound too bright
Hi Samaul, Do give more time on your break in. This is not uncommon. After another 100 hours on your speakers, remove the Chang lightspeed and power wedge and see if it doesn't sound better. Acoustic room treatment shuold be dealt with first. Good... 
New Speakers

F I M Speaker Cables
Hi Accel, I have been using the FIM speaker cable and as Sdr said, it is STIFF. I pity the poor guy who has to bi wire. As Jcbtubes said, watch those connections. I disagree with Sdr on the construction of this cable. The FIM has weight, power, an... 
King Cobra vs. FIM ?????
Hi Mark, last time I responded to this question, Tubegroovers eyebrows got raised. I have nothing to do with FIM. I never heard of FIM until a few months ago. I guess it is easier to make backdoor accusations than it is to ask the other member whe... 
Mapleshade Vibration Control
Hi Gallaine, I will not receive the isoblocks and points till next week. I have 2 1/4 in. butcherblock and some big granite slabs all very thick. It is not a problem for my set up. Check out the thread on shelf material, that may help. I saw some ... 
How Much Do You Need to Spend on a PC?
Hi Decay, I thought the Coincident PC sa $275 was quite good. I have seen 1 or 2 being sold at $150. I think Trelja is using a silver PC or was going to try one out. Maybe Trelja could give us his thoughts on the silver PC if he has tried it. I be...
