| Isolation device under Ayre CX-7e? Hvu, You can compare the use of Herbie's footers in two different ways, first directly between the Ayre CX-7e and your maple board base, and second under the maple wood base.I think directly under the component can be the most neutral, allowing a ... | |
| Speaker stand design - Is this a good idea? For something a little bit naturally "sticky" to prevent speaker slipping, and for improving LS3/5A performance at the same time, look into Herbiesaudiolab.com Black MiniDots. At checkout, these are the "smaller" Big Fat Black Dots (confusing term... | |

| Alpha Core Goertz MI 2 upgrade I have even used Alpha-Core AG-1 on top, and MI-3 on the bottom with fine results, despite the differences between the gauges, and between silver and copper. Depended on particular amp, speaker, and ears of the beholder. | |

| Which "tweeks" are more important Tbg, I understand where you're coming from. Establishing component synergy is the first step which we all have taken when voicing our systems to our listening room. I have mixed and matched different equipment support ideas with different componen... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Angelsmtn, The effect of ERS cloth (see musicdirect.com)wrapping to reduce undesirable EMI/RFI may have changed something so that unique lack of synergy with your particular components.This is usually a desirable product, and I think I recall this... | |
| Which "tweeks" are more important Dodgealum, Thanks for informing about the EP2050, and ep2000.com What is the cost for such an item, since you mentioned it is less expensive than the more conventional approaches? Their website makes it look easier to implement, too. | |
| Vintage Audio Pro Subwoofer HELP I noticed audiopro.com does not list a U.S. distributor at the present time. But, an email directly to the company may elicit the information you seek. Or, you may find that the info is available from distributor in "United Kingdom" where older, c... | |
| Which "tweeks" are more important In line with your thought to try better support for components and speakers, the mini-priced items at Herbiesaudiolab.com are well worth a look (actually, a listen).To avoid carpet piercing, I support floor standing speakers with Big Fat Black Dot... | |
| Replacing a 2-pin hardwire with an IEC terminal Gpriore, Take a look at the Mapleshaderecords.com website under Clearview Double Helix AC Power Cord.

| Experiences with NEW The original Cecil Watts Dust Bug used just a touch of his anti-static fluid (its name is lost in the mists of time) on the miniature plush covered barrel pulled along the record surface. It does pick up a great deal of dust if you don't use a car... | |
