| Talk but not walk? And one that sounds as good as if not better than the World’s Most Modded Oppo 103. With Grados instead of Senn 600s. Go figure.No matter how much you have in the end you would have had even more if you had started out with more. 😳 | |

| Equipment rack with hollow tubes. I bet you can’t hear hollow tubes ring even when you put your ear right up to them. It’s an old wives tale. I know what you’re thinking - but if I strike the hollow tube with a small hammer I can hear it ring. Solution: don’t strike the hollow tub... | |
| Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable I made some of those opposing magnet isolation feet about 25 years ago for a lightweight Optimus CD player.
