anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ?
At the risk of repeating myself Every one of your posts is you repeating yourself. 
anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ?
I agree, the top is not isolated from the bottom at all. To prove it, obtain two magnets and hold one magnet in each hand with the same poles facing each other so they repel. Move one magnet back and forth slightly to simulate a vibration. Do you ... 
Casual PC speakers for music
Put them where they fit and sound good and you're done. Just like any speaker, they won't sound nearly as good as they can unless you place them properly.  I just went through this.  There's a huge difference that costs virtually nothing.  I adj...

Casual PC speakers for music
I listen to Audioengine A2+ speakers at work all day through the internal DAC.  They're pretty good for small computer speakers.  The angled stands are a must if you can't have a proper taller stand.  I just added them they make a big difference. 
Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :)
Who are you and why would someone want to ask you tech questions?  I'm just wondering what your specialty is.  Are you an engineer that works for a well known company or something? 
Anyone ever see a speaker with spun copper ports with full range driver?
Machining them would be much more precise. I watched the video on their website that showed the crude spinning process. Those things are not very precise at all. It looks like they use spun copper because the skill was in the family, not because t...

EAC is king and has been for many, many years.  No reason to use anything else. 
Spade termination for Vandersteen 2CE Signature ii
There’s a difference between line level electronics and speakers. Okay, forget line level stuff, although I don’t see how they are less susceptible to the effects of a soldered connection than speaker level connections. Most of the connections in... 
Spade termination for Vandersteen 2CE Signature ii
But right inside the speaker and the amp there are soldered connections, so I never really understood the anti-solder argument.  If you refuse to just solder, you may want to think about crimping and then soldering.  There are literally hundreds o... 
Which is the best audio magazine?
Ever notice how every Stereophile review is for one single item and it’s always awesome? Not every review is about one single item.  See the Border Patrol DAC review.  While they didn't review the Benchmark DAC3 HGC in this article, they did c...

Bluetone,Unless you really really really really love the 3.5s, like a lot, the smartest thing to do is to get something else, keep an eye out for some drivers that will work in the 3.5s, put them in, and sell them.  They're a finicky speaker that'...
