Speaker cables under floorboards - a good or bad idea?
Seriously, horrible idea. To give some idea, I tried wrapping my cables with very thin gauge wire to see it it would control vibration. As mahgister pointed out, hold them while playing music its shocking how much they vibrate. Just this thin wire...

Speaker cables under floorboards - a good or bad idea?
Horrible idea. Worst for sound quality, won't hardly reduce noise transmission. Speakers on springs, cables on elevators. Done. 
Think fast: What would you take?
And once I’m resettled, I’d put some thought into why the fires are happeningIts called arson. They caught one here near Seattle in the act, and another one outside Portland. The Oregon man was caught, arrested, and then released without bail. Bec...

High Performance Audio - The End?

Strangest Transformation in Break In.
After buying the Nobsound springs from nonoises thread I made my own using 3 springs per MDF footer. Was surprised when the sound became clearer a day or so later. Only thing I can think, either they settled into position better, or they fit snug ... 
Am I Splitting Hairs With My Connections?
Open it up. $50 says there's a bus bar going one outlet to the next, no difference whatsoever. DM for directions to pay me the fifty. 
Moving to France
