Skeptic or just plain hard headed
Barnettk I appreciate your good nature of responding to everyone. I get particular about how my system sounds for awhile, after I am happy, I just enjoy it. Doesn’t matter why really if I am enjoying it. I leave it for 5,10, 15, or 20 yrs and not ... 
Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns
Like Dorwad said previously, I recommend the Total Contact product. About a half an hours work and I bet you will be surprised and probably amazed at how much improvement can come from one little adjustment. This is a slight bit more that a notice...

Sounds good. Please report back when get a chance to relax and give it a good listen.

Follow-up to my question some weeks ago about an amp for Dynaudio Contour 20s
Cool. Nice to know. Thanks for the followup. 
What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker?
What geoffkait said may sound funny because he is that way some of the time. But that is a real possible solution. I have used that method and it helps out a noticeable amount. Geoff probably knows why, but it has worked for me. If you do it, get ... 
Sound and vibration control
Hi sonyesmanI don't have any idea why. But different feet will make the speaker sound slightly different to me. Good speaker companies will be a little particular about the feet they put with their speakers. But it is fun experimenting like you ha... 
Bright or Dim?
I think ebm should weigh in on this topic. I have a feeling he would express my thoughts better than I could. 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
+1 clearthink. On your last three posts. Regarding our decorum here and the clear evidence of so many with first hand experience. Thanks
