| Isolation Feet Recommendation for Equipment Rack OP: I just bought a 4-tier equipment rack to set up a 2nd system. It’s not audiophile standard and comes with standard spikes. Products are designed to perform at a certain level, period. Not convinced that adding something not originally part ... | |
| If someone looked through you music (records, CDs, etc.) what would surprise them? Surprised by the breadth and depth of blues and jazz owned by a white kid from “Mud Spot”, Wyoming. My jazz director was from Vegas and played the big hotel casinos when that was the thing. What a blessing. | |
| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings “The Junior Mance Trio”. 3 albums on 2 CDs. Excellent performances and strong production quality. | |

| Quadratic Diffusers Yes, the GIK look like classy barcodes. Mine are dark wood with black cloth 48” tall. Top left corner of photo in weblink. They work quite well sorting out errant waves and simply clean up the soundstage as designed. | |
| ATC SCM50ASL Pro vs ATC SCM 50ASLT I’ve carefully factored in all aspects and concluded; the purchase of ATC SCM 50 ASLT towers in rosewood ordered through Big Ear Stereo in Tempe, AZ. (Unabashedly free plug there)I love my Isoacoustics Gaia ll already in use under my ATC 40A towe... | |
