How much of your free time is dedicated to listening to your stereo?
I've been in music professionally since I was 15, owned 5 stereo stores and have been designing audio forever. Listening is very close to 24/7 for me and it feels like Christmas every day. mg

"I always thought you wanted to couple your speakers to the floor (with spikes).     Now it is best to decouple them?"There is no such thing as decoupling in audio. That's just a talking point from those who are dampening. Once you put your speak...
