Air Bladder Isolation, Cheap
I've been using 16" bike innertubes with 1 1/4" marble slab on top. Had this under CD, pre, and amp on hardwood floor. I recently moved to new room with concrete slab under carpet. Now amp sounds better without innertubes, as does preamp. Rack is ... 
Take the audiophile quiz!
lol. Your post should be titled-"Waste of Space". 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
I think about the technological triumphs that have ocurred during my short lifetime(25 years), and it makes me proud. I'm proud to have been born into an era that has seen more progress, in less time, than any period before it. When I was born, ca... 
Small Dedicated Listening Room???
I have a pair of B&W Nautilus 805 speakers in a 12' by 13' room. Bass, while not as low as in the Hales Rev 3s that I'm selling, is quite sufficient. I agree with the above comments, that you should be thankful for these circumstances, particu...

What the heck is Resolution Audio

Two systems; One amp one set of speakers
Damn, George, I've been trying to do that for a long time (on paper, at least) I never thought of 2 runs of speaker cable!!!! GREAT IDEA. 
My speaker makes noise ?
Yes, this is normal. AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS turn the source off last(or maybe even leave it on all the time). When turning the system on, you want to start with the source, and follow the interconnects to the preamp (turn this on now)...

Ahem. Ok. Guys. Enough. Lets be adults here. Carl is entitled to his opinion, just as we all are. But really, guys, can't we all just get along?? Carl, be nice, too, please, there's lots of good knowledge on this thread, but you keep gettin the ne... 
need recs for 2 way system
I've heard Audio Analogue Puccini, and it pales by comparison to the Audio Refinement Complete Integrated amp made by YBA. Retail NEW is $1k. For speakers, I just got the B&W Nautilus 805's which are awesome, but maybe too steep at $2k, around...

NATURAL CHERRY VENEER
Thanks, everyone... Mezmo, I recently used a wood scratch repair kit on my floor. Basically it is 3 or 4 crayons ( a little softer than I remember) one is pretty clear, one is light tan, one is light brown, one is dark brown. You just rub the cray... 
NATURAL CHERRY VENEER
Thanks, all. I believe that the tan lines were made in my living room, The curtains were drawn, but (I did not mention this before) they are pretty flimsy, and white to boot. I'll give it a week in the same conditions, if it doesnt correct itself,...

yES, CARL, BUT DO YOU THINK THAT THE COLOR DARKENED TO A POINT, AND THEN STOPPED (INDICATING THAT if I leave the colored part Uncovered, the color would even out with time) or continued to darke over time (which would mean that if I do not cover t...
