@wizzzard  Valerie, I am not even the last thing you need to worry about now. Wish your husband well for me. Mike  
A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum
@terry9  Pampas Grass?? You embedding it in resin?  
Klipsch speaker placement
@tonydennison  Moving the speaker away from the front wall does TWO things. It effects the response of the speaker in the lower midrange/upper bass depending on the distance and it you move them far enough away the first reflection becomes an ech... 
The Ultimate Audio Modification: Golden Ears
@cleeds 1++ What you get out of most reviews is the reviewer's preference. One reviewer will always say the more expensive piece sounds better. Another expects a system to be way too bright. Most reviewers have no idea what they are listening to ... 
Klipsch speaker placement

Klipsch speaker placement
@52tiger  The Cornwalls are a great loudspeaker. The woofer crosses to the midrange horn at 700 Hz. Thus the woofer carries a large chunk of the midrange. Remember, middle C is 256 Hz. This means the bass requiring long excursions is going to Dop... 
What Are The Differences Between The Vandenhul Cartridge Families
@neonknight  I do not know about you, but I can not afford the time, effort and care not to spend the money going through 10 cartridges to get to one good one. There are so many fine cartridges you can depend on. If you want a cantilever hanging ... 
Direct Drive TT...vintage era....sleepers....
Yuk to all of them. You are much better off looking for a decent belt drive table, even an LP 12 which everyone knows I dislike.
