Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks
Hi Sean,Devil's advocate? Nah, party pooper is more like it;0)I regularly read at various fora,similar well meaning recommendations and instructions for the Flexy and its variants and sometimes I just can't contain myself. These things aren't true... 
Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks
What are its musical and sonic benefits? and what other supports have you compared it to?Did it improve PRaT, staging,dynamics,articulation, tonality,harmonic structure,resolution,coherence,etc and to what degree? Did you notice any negative impac... 
Favorite sounding interconnects?
Another recommendation for the 47 Laboratory Stratos OTA's.These things are freaky-good.Every other IC or cable I've ever owned ,begged or borrowed sound ponderous,incoherent,coloured and veiled by comparison.Ken

This is a tough one.There's been so much extraordinary talent and genius in this industry that it seems unjust to limit it to only 5.Anyway, here's my personal selection in alphabetical order-KimuraMogghadamMorecroftSuganoTiefenbrunhon.mention:Bow... 
Best match with Proac Response Series
I've found that the ProAc Response 2's mated very well with Rowland amplification.I've unfortunately not had the opportunity to audition the R2.5. 
Salamander racks - good prices wanted
Why in heavens would you want one of those?It will not have any positive effect on isolating your system and depending on what you presently use will most likely sound and perform worse.IKEA will run circles aroud it, sonically and musically. Take... 
Why Anchor Speakers?
Higher frquencies emitted by the tweeter have extremely short wavelengths.The inertial effects of the mid-bass and bass drivers tend to rock the speaker back and forth microscopically on a less than stable flooring surface thus having the effect o... 
"Pace", it's importance for enjoyment?
There seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding of the terms & definitions of PRaT and the the source and causes of poor PRaT. Good PRaT is not something added to music reproduction but rather something that is easily lost by choices in com...
