How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs?
Pbb, as you nearly always do, you misquote what someone else has said. NOWHERE did I say that the original poster would have to get used to anything, except to maybe infer that he'd quickly get used to NOT listening to CD's! :-)As for the “you say...

I apologize to Kemp. I see that he said he is using the Thorens. That will work! 
How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs?
Pbb, tlak about the pot calling the kettle black. Yours is a fine example of selective logic. The original poster described noise and ASKED if he was doing something wrong and should he ignore the hiss. He did not mention if these were records tha... 
Floorstanders over Suspended Hardwood-Help Please
My flooring is actually 3/4" not 1/2" oak (my typo) and is t-and-g blind nailed over 3/4 ply. I'm still sure that points will leave an impression, but it is impervious to keys! :-)Believe that I will give the final Stehno suggestion a try and mayb...

I am not sure that I could find a ceramic tile to fit under all of these speakers. Doubling or tripling up on the tiles would seem to add yet another stability issue. I can see where this might work well if the speaker's footprint would fit on one... 
Floorstanders over Suspended Hardwood-Help Please
My floors are 1/2" X 2" oak strips over 3/4" plywood, over joists, over a crawl space. Stehno's final comment might be best if living with floor dimples can be tolerated. Maybe my definition of suspended was misplaced.I have a set of eight stainle...

Any one else has a problem re: shipping damage
It might be difficult but if you are not the meek type I have some advise when dealing with UPS. PISS and MOAN and the louder the better. Ask to speak with managers, supervisors, bosses, always trying to get to the next level up. Be adamant, be lo... 
Do tube dampers really work?
I am curious about what people notice, too. What are people hearing as an improvement?I understand how less vibration would help with sound and that heat dissipation might prolong the life of a tube. I really like any idea that is cheaper and work... 
PSB Bronze Minimum Impedance and Sensitivity
I searched the Stereophile site and found reviews for nearly every other PSB than the Bronze. I see where the PSB site quotes portions of the Sterophile review, though. Wonder why it doesn't show up in the web-based archives.....
