Review: Wilson Audio Grand Slamm Speaker
Thanks! I did not know about those speakers. You learn something every day. Sounds like quite the innovation well over 60 years ago! And still so,etching to hear today, by the sounds of it. Guess my speakers are practically new by comparison! 
Review: Wilson Audio Grand Slamm Speaker
Hi All, As above, I have described 3 tweaks/mods I made to my X1s which continue show great improvements after all these years (Latest Focal Tweeter, Entreq Vibb Eaters on top of Upper Modules, Ultra 5s. I have discovered another which tentatively... 
Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation
Actually, speaking of Maggies, the Maggie MMG is an excellent speaker...and if you wish to add a sub...tremendous sound for the cost and size. There is a pretty cool demonstration on youtube of this done by Magnepan at a show where they put a curt... 
Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications
Hi Melville,In a way, I am not [entirely] surprised by that...the modded 83 I had was excellent and killed my current stock 95...but the 83 stopped functioning and I was honestly afraid of paying big labor costs to fix it only to have it break aga...

Hi All, Just a quick update...I have since worked with my local distributor/dealers on the X1s. Amazing improvements on such an older speaker...far more electrostatic-like articulation...far greater EASE and effortlessness of presentation, along w... 
Good 6922 tube for my CJ ET-3 SE pre-amp?
Diwakarv,FWIW, I have owned 3 CJ preamps (PV14L, ACT 2 and now GAT which is the same 'generation' as the ET3SE). The ACT 2 was not as susceptible to tube rolling, but I have found that going from the stock EH to Amperex 6922 to Mullard CV2493 (in ... 
Isolation disc for speaker spikes on wood floors.
You might try the Auralex isolation platforms...used by professional bands to isolate their equipment and speakers off the stage floor or recording studio floor. About $60 each, and they can carry loads of up to 200lbs each. No, not pretty though ...
