Goldmund 29 vs. 28.4 for Eidolons
cjpark-IMO, based on a great deal of listening to eidolons (i own a pair) with numerous electronics, the accuphase a-50v is a much better choice than either of the goldmunds. i highly recommend this amp. -cfb 
Boulder 1060 - Amp for Life ??
dan2112: the boulder 1060 is a truly great amp that you can live with for quite a long while. at least until you get the urge and coin to move even higher up the ladder to the 2060 or 2050. you see very few used boulders on this or any other site,...

Sipkes or isolation devices better under speakers?

Odyssey Amp Overkill ?
kurt's got it right. you'd be amazed how great $1500/pr. westlake audio monitors sound with $70k worth of boulder electronics. -cfb 
What have you been listening to these five weeks?
frogman: great question. just 2 of the pieces i've been listening to over the past 5 weeks are: (1) "the word," on ropeadope records; amazing gospel stuff that'll open your soul, no matter whom, if anyone, you look to as the last or most important... 
What direction should the cable go??????
the arrows should always be up. well, optimally up, but sideways might be ok. never down, tho; screws up the molecular structure. -cfb 
Looking for information on movie scene music
richard: your post intrigued me sufficiently to test my internet search skills. here's what i've found thus far:(1) the movie was originally released in 1981 (not sure in which countries) under the title "violent streets";(2) the bar in which the ... 
SME,respect for the customer
yes, this does, indeed, manifest excellent customer service. what makes your case particularly remarkable is the fact that the postage incurred likely cost much more than the value of the metric allen key, which could have been purchased for about...

richard: the "soundtrack" has only the tangerine dream music (which you probably already knew). -cfb 
Cheap Tweak..Mass Loading
glen: as albert & sean correctly note (of course) this doesn't work on all components and the critical mass my vary among the components for which it does. once you determine on which pieces mass loading works and the amount required, you can ...
