| Somewhat of an oxymoron - speaker stands for the floor for bookshelf speakers. Blue Tack is the correct answer to your question (less is more when using it, IMO).

| recommend 6L6 tubes for preamp Try searching the Bottlehead forum (one example linked below with good info on the 2nd page). Been looking for the same info, but not a lot of hits so far. I had favorites in vintage Fender guitar amps, but the sonics really don't apply to usage... | |
