| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! roxy54, thank you for the polite comment. I attempt to remain open to additional testing/comparing over the years, and this has turned into an opportunity to demonstrate it. Technology, products, etc. change over time, so a conclusion held perhaps... | |

| Why don't speaker mfg list amps and associated equip they use to " voice " their sound? It's much more complicated than the simplistic answers here. | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! Robert, thank you for your polite, well reasoned response. I will be in touch to discuss your most polite proposal. | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! Correct use of the word which expresses my displeasure with such methods failing my Law of Efficacy. If I wished to express that I thought there was no benefit to stands I would have chosen a word such as ineffectual. My point is not that such dev... | |
| Everything Matters With Digital dgarretson, hey! How are you! Nice to hear from you! A wise position to take. My curiosity has led to some amazing things, one of the most notable being the Schroeder Method of IC Placement. I never would have built the systems I have if I were st... | |
| Everything Matters With Digital Waste of life to argue it. Chintzy people don’t want there to be a difference. The wallet rules their life, and what they "think" supports their proclivity to not spend money; too cheap to try. Statistically half of all audio systems must be infer... | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! I spent years working on lower cost methods, passive devices with floor stander and stand mount speakers. IMO insipid in comparison with building systems. Elevating systems makes the other activities a poor return for my time. Jim's book is ok, b... | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! BTW, I attempt to remain open to the results and change my opinion if merited. For a long time I had concluded that bi-wiring of speakers was universally superior. Recently, I had a case, the first and only to date, where the high quality jumpers ... | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! roxy54, as said previously, I am not debating my observations.Addendum to previous post: In addition to the above future comparison I will conduct, I will also have one amp warmed up vs. the other cold, and one amp will have cables that are "sett... | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! I will be putting isolation products to the test in my room (again, as I have several times in the past, every time proving insipid/marginal) when I receive the anticipated amps that will be under review. They will be both new. One will be "burned... | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! Scary how few audiophiles can arrive at correct conclusions regarding such things. The improvement is not due to vibration control, but to physically elevating the speaker. The speaker will sound far better with raised soundstage. Just one reaso... | |
| Burn In To gain some perspective on this topic, read my article "Audiophile Law: Thou Shalt Not Overemphasize Burn In" at Dagogo.com | |
| Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system It reminds me of house buying; the couple has an idea how much to spend on a house, how it will impact their life, etc. By the time the realtor is done, many have overbought, wrecked their budget, and will suffer relational stress as a result. So ... | |
| Why perfect speakers dont exist the truth revealed Kenjit uses a smallish bookshelf speaker as a reference. Recently, he practically endorsed B&W speakers on another thread. Maybe he owns one and has to relentlessly promote, like ebm, in an effort to keep the residual value of his equipment... |
