| Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone? There's not a lot going on below 40hz,except maybe electronically enhanced tones or pipe organ tones.What there is normally are low tones and resonances. If your floors and walls are "singing" along than those tones won't sound as clear as you'd l... | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? Possibly cut them at the seams and flatten them for storage. Repurchase packing material when you sell. | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? Years ago I bought JPS Labs pcs for my components that were plugged into a power conditioner just hoping they would do something positive. They did make for a quieter background.

The video that inspired me to try these particular platforms demoed Townshends, Gaias, and Primacoustic under speakers and subs.Primacoustic was the clear winner under the sub.Townshend un... | |

| How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment? I keep my equipment covered with bandanas to keep out the dog fur.Towels or vinyl place mats would work too.I would worry more about a cat climbing up the speakers. I would lean something slick against the front that can't get claws stuck in to cl... | |
| Silnote speaker Cables I've used Silnote Morpheus Reference ll ICs and sp cables. I liked them at first, natural,organic, with decent detail.When moving to more sensitive speakers they began to flatten out the upper mids,if that makes sense. Vocals lost the *real* qual... | |

| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes After trying several combinations of the three 6SN97s in my AricAudio Transcend PP amp,the combo that sounds the best to me is the Linlai HiFi black plate in the input along with a Psvane CV181 T MKll on each side. Best of both worlds:-) with the... | |

| Custom Window Sound Blockers Recently while visiting a family member in the hospital I noticed the curtain between the two beds was some sort of really effective sound blocking fabric. It also absorbed conversation on the side we were on which felt strange. It killed practica... | |
| Pairing Bryston 28b3 with tubes As you make a list of pres to research, be aware of the input impedance of your amps.It needs to be at the very least 10 times higher than the output impedance of the pre.Pres with highish gain can be an issue also. A gain of 10db is good,but high... |
