| What is proper ratio of money spent on amp/preamp/integrated vs speakers? 1:1? In todays world why own speakers that are hard to drive? Hard to drive means more money all the way around and it's no longer necessary to achieve the highest levels of performance. Marketing "money audio" with today's innovations available is a b... | |

| Well maybe it IS my hearing Reading the posts so far is one of the reasons I design variably tunable systems. No one should have to be fatigued to the point of not being able to enjoy their favorite music. Michael Green | |

| What is proper ratio of money spent on amp/preamp/integrated vs speakers? 1:1? I've never felt that $$$=sound. It's a very strange concept to me in regards to parts of the audio chain. Michael Green | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Now a little lab work, nothing too difficult.What I have done is take a simple audio receiver Sherwood rx4105 and put it in my system. After a week of constant play it’s time to see how it responds to both rubber and wood. The stock feet have been... | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Audio & sound are cool because they fall right in the range of physical being, meaning the cycles are low enough as to move and stimulate physical materials. All the physical parts in your audio system are vibratory. As soon as these parts are... | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Hi Glupson & PerkriYou weren’t overlooked, I just wanted to see how far off track and topic things would get here before doing much more posting. You are both on target here "unwanted" vibrations. As Glupson said "audio is vibration" and accor... | |

| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Yep, two different worlds! I prefer the in-room system obviously, and the in-room listening experience. Audiogon looks to me like a mostly in-room system forum, at least most of the threads I see you on, which is why I question some of your input ... | |

Keep in mind th... | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? "Anyone who calls listening to music a "hobby" is engaging in a quite different endeavor than am I. Focusing on soundstaging is like watching a film for 3-D effects."Honestly I wasn’t aware of this so much before bdp24 but yes I now see clearly th... | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Hi GeoffI like Michael, I think he’s witty and easy to watch, even though I didn’t watch this entire video. My writing room is kind of like his listening room "stuff all over the place". However even my writing room seems to be a little more organ... |
