| Controlling vibration of woofer baskets What about Mortite, or is that too old school? I've used it on stamped frame Jensen guitar amp speakers with varied results. Humbucking P/U guitars sounded better, but single ended Fender Strats lost some of their "chime" quality. DeKay | |
| I need help describing the sound of a SET to a friend in English. "organic" is really good. Also, if your friend is so inclined... Listening to Kepa Junkera Urraza recordings through a decent SET based system is mind blowing. DeKay | |
| All In One Recommendations PS Joe: Just looked up and read through some of the "old/early" A'Gon threads... We (all of us) certainly had a lot of fun, good/entertaining discussions back then (sans politics). DeKay | |

| All In One Recommendations Hi Joe: I've been in California since 1977. However, I vividly recall you being a chemist (so - if I'm wrong we are even). If I'm right YOU gave me some really good advice/insight in that regard. DeKay | |

| Are there any audiophile Air BnB's? You can rent Frank Sinatra's old Palm Springs home (not certain if the HiFi setups are operable). https://www.naturalretreats.com/palm-springs-luxury-vacation-rentals/accommodation/frank-sinatra-twin-palms-estate?utm_source=google&utm_... | |
| Which amp to use with Linear Tube Audio pre? In a Sterophile review of an earlier version of the ZOTL40 (push/pull) amp the reviewer mated it with Magnepan .7. Looks like the newer version (ZOTL40 REFERENCE+) is $1K more @ ($6,800). Interesting that you were able to drive the 1.7's with th... | |

| Got a screw loose? Nonoise: Assume you were kidding, but if (not) you add a scant drop of Creme De Coco (or two) to a traditional Screwdriver it tastes just like a Tootsie Roll. DeKay | |
| Got a screw loose? Brass is non-ferrous and may/should not effect the magnetic field of drivers that use magnets. Same goes for using non-ferrous mounting gear for many phono cartridges. Suspect that doing so may make an audible difference on some tweeters/m... |
