"I think my house would collapse"Do pictures on your walls and other items in your room vibrate when you use the sub?I have a treated room,but when I added a sub it shook the room.Problem fixed when I got my sub up off my carpeted floor with large...

Anyone use CD tweaks
Im surprised no ones mentioned Herbies CD mat.No doubt this mat makes CD's sound less digital.The biggest improvement I've found is how the mat brings out female vocals to a 'in your room' realism. 
Affordable High Watt Tube Amp Wanted
Mathewam,Thanks for the advice,but my budget is $500 or less.Your ST-85 plays louder and sounds more powerful than the Jolida 302b because your ST-85 is rated 35wpc higher than the 302b.As far as mid range magic,my Dynaco uses EL-34's and the Joli...
