Rel S812 fuse, AC cable, footers
If you do not hear improvement with Nobsound springs I will be shocked. If you do not hear even greater improvement with Townshend Pods I will be even more shocked.  Just so you know, I have asked so many manufacturers so many questions like this... 
New listening room question
Sound and acoustics are pretty simple. It all stems from the fact sound radiates in all directions as waves. The lower the frequency the longer the wave. At the high end the waves are only around an inch. So anything flat and larger than an inch w... 
Listening to music I don’t particularly like
Do you find yourself listing to music you don't particularly like because it sounds so good on your system? If I'm honest with myself I am an old dude who grew up with classic rock and really enjoy it but a lot of it was not well recorded. So I f...

RIAA EQ is +20dB at the bottom, -20dB at the top. SG does not require this so the statement is true.   
Subwoofers: speaker level vs line level
I've run mine every which way. Makes no difference. Subs are mono so either channel same result. Input impedance typically 20k to 50k ohms or more, so no load on the amp and again which channel either one or both doesn't matter. So get some wire, ... 
Beat This Track!!!! (For Soundstage effect)
Got just the song for you mate.    
Moving away from inefficient/low impedance speaker in order to move to a Tube Amp
We had some monitors like that here, they were a similar 87dB and with my 20W Raven Blackhawk had no problem driving them satisfyingly loud in my 17x24x9 room. The guy who brought them had also brought his 100+ watt SS amp. We were all surprised h... 
Can one use assymetric wire gauge for speaker cable construction?
DIY itself is not a good idea. Let the guy screw around with his extension cords and figure that out for himself. Eventually. Maybe.

Beat This Track!!!! (For Soundstage effect)
XLO Test and Burn-In CD has a track with Michael Ruff out of phase. Sound comes from everywhere, and nowhere. You should have specified imaging. There is none. But since you didn't, out of phase is everywhere, and you simply cannot get any bigger ... 
Replacement for current speakers suggestions
For the record I didn’t scold, nor was I condescending. I simply pointed out that this is the second time this same exact thing has come up recently. Yes OP you said your hearing changed. You also made an even bigger point of being on a budget. M... 
The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard
Santa. He's got his eye on you.    
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
Science describes the way things happen in terms of theory, or sometimes even equations. Newton for example described the gravitational force between two bodies as the sum of their masses divided by the square of the distance between them. Thus he...

I have the Soundsmith Strain Gauge, got one used about a month ago.  SG does not use RIAA or any kind of normal phono stage because it is not any kind of normal cartridge. MM and MC both are generators that generate a voltage by moving. The faste... 
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass
mglik, The key to getting the most from a DBA is to have the subs in different room locations. Four real close to the mains is effectively two locations. If you are stuck with something like that at least try and space them apart, like maybe two a...
