| Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform Mapman, I can never tell when you're being sarcastic. I sense you're not into the whole vibration isolation thing. Pity. | |
| Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform But we are not DJs. The primary problem is seismic vibration, the very low frequency stuff, below the frequency capability of speakers. | |

| hi fi tuniing fuses best position ? MoFi, I almost forgot to mention, since the dude from HiFi Tuning had the epiphany that wire and fuses ARE actually directional he had some company measure the various electrical properties of a number of fuses, including his own, and published th... | |
| hi fi tuniing fuses best position ? Mofi, that information in the link you provided that HiFi Tuning Fuses are not directional is outdated. Originally the German dude who's the inventor and manufacturer of Hi Fi Tuning fuses swore up and down that fuses are not directional. It was o... | |
