Something just isn't there
Reflective wood floors are another issue to be addressed by rugs, carpet, etc.. The one I am talking about is more about how rigid the floor is ie how it is constructed, not just how finished. Most upper level floors in homes are built to have som...

Would give a listen given the chance but not excited about this. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
I've heard Mani's and liked those very much.   I recall they had a unique bass driver design. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
I'm just interesting in what smaller speakers people have found are truly good down to 20hz and if so why. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
The ohm walshes do quite well in this area. I’ve heard response with test records down to 20 hz with 8 inch ohm Walsh drivers in the past. The smaller ones I have these days are 8 inch and the larger 12 inch. One individual on the ohm thread here ... 
Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?
I always run the stylus through a stylus brush before playing.

IF you are using subs in particular, be leary of floor interactions as a primary culprit for muddy or obscured sound. Could occur with mains as well. Bass may seem muddy or fat and obscure details higher up in midrange. Suspended plywood floors ar...

IS it better with some kinds of music than others?Can you physically feel the music when called for as well as hear it? 
Will audio streaming devices push out computer audio?
Wireless streaming is the way to go for best chance at best sound with low noise and distortion. Wifi or Bluetooth. Source can be any commercial computer capable of running the software needed if connections to streamers are wireless because there... 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
Clearly larger active or powered speakers or speakers with integrated powered subwoofers are best able to do it but I’m wondering more about purely passive speakers even if only in a smaller room.  I realize room acoustics play a big part.   I'm a... 
Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?
I clean records thoroughly once then just use carbon fiver brush to remove dust after that normally. I clean records manually which is a chore. If I had a nice automatic ultrasonic cleaner I would probably use it more often. Those things are a sig...

Guido have you heard ref1000m amps respond similarly to power cords?  In what way specifically?  Thanks. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Mapman, congrats on reaching the magic 14,000. Could not have done it without you buddy. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
The nice gear the fuses were in probably had something to do with earning all those notes.  I wonder how many notes earned with the original fuses?   Would be be nice to be able to earn so much credit so easily.   
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
We all probably do actually.I’d bet anything they would have a clear and huge effect on what anyone hears. Unless deaf to start with. Unlike orientation of copper crystals in wires. My dog told me so. For now I will merely just cup my hands behind...
