| Moving into an apartment with wood joist floors - worried about neighbors hearing For area rugs look into sound absorbing rug pads/underlay. Wool, jute and cotton are all good rug materials (I use cotton as we have cats). DeKay | |
| Velodyne DD15 - internal wiring Search Ebay for "Velodyne Digital Drive DD-15 Subwoofer - REPAIR SERVICE -" and click on the $315 ad for a decent internal pic (3rd pic down). DeKay | |

| vibration control - cd player Here is a link to the (old) discussion of using Ikea Lack tables as support for hifi gear (pay special attention to the posts by caterham1700 - who owned Greater Ranges/Neuance). If the construction notes/guidelines are followed you can expect ex... | |
