Where can I find/buy blu-tak
Freemand, Gumby would be proud! 
Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........
Ginas, I would suggest listening to Tannoy Westminsters.Can't comment on GMA since Roy and crew will NOT allow you to audition the speaker before buying. Believe me, I tried but every dealer from NY to AZ said "I'm sorry, I JUST sold my demo pair ...

Best super teeters to add to pair of horn speakers

Isolation transformer -low cost power conditioner?
Thanks for the help. 
Anyone compare Lavardin with Sugden?
Bob, do you have a link for this ATI amp? It sounds interesting. Thanks 
Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?
Hi Newbeeexactly what amplitude must this resonance reach before it actually affects the SOUND of the componentI'm not going there. I will not put on the facade that I have all the answers to everything. Some people get sucked in though, including... 
Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?
Rotarius I agree with the Vibes article that:"The goal of vibration control is to minimize the relative motion between different elements that comprise a system""Rubber is used to isolate a jet engine from an aircraft frame"Sure but the engine wil...
