LS50 and Big Fat Dots
Bdp24, Thanks for in depth info. The stainless steel sheets should arrive this weekend and I'll try that for starters. It's nice to know you can get them on the cheap on ebay. If the improvement is enough to get my aural juices flowing, I'll look ... 
LS50 and Big Fat Dots
I used to like Herbie's footers as they worked wonderfully under my components in the past. It was when I got my Marantz Reference gear that it all sounded better without them. With my first and present pair of monitors I tried the ones recommende... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
With the price comes the promise.I know there are better cables out there beyond my reach but within my budget there are some mighty fine cables that can do it almost as good as the higher priced ones. This is one area where the "law of diminishin... 
Does anyone else think this
If audio had the advertising budget of modern day electronics (iPhones, laptops, etc.) we'd all be talking a different tune. One can't count the number of TV, radio and print ads we see and hear on a daily basis that hawk those goods. We forget we... 
How important is bass to you?
I used to love my Tonian Labs TL-D1s until I listened to my Clearwave Duet 6 monitors and the impact, tone, tightness and quality simply amazed me. I'm still missing that last 1/2 octave or so but in my medium sized room the reinforcement I get is...

Tubes from Russia block
I second the nod to Brent Jessee. If you care to, take a gander at his site and read up on the tubes you're interested in as he compiles a short and concise history of the one you want. Once you've narrowed it down, give him a call, let him know y... 
How important is the amp?
Thanks Al and Bombaywalla for the the kind words.Bifwynne, you beat me to it. There's nothing like a little Wolf to keep things chugging along in the most humorous of ways.All the best,Nonoise 
How important is the amp?
All components can't have equal billing and that's where the problem arises. Every component has a loyal and fervent (almost religious) following. Having said that, the biggest distortion generator in the audio chain is the speaker. Hands down.Amp... 
Another Pair of Skeptics Converted
Whoa. Does anyone smell red herring?. Everyone seems to agree to some degree so what is really behind the contention? 
Another Pair of Skeptics Converted
It seems that cable difference deniers adhere to some type of conventional wisdom, which describes a wide belief held by public and experts. How many have bothered to try and just listen as Douglas recommends? All of my cables tell a difference mu...

some of the best speaker cables under $250
8' lengths of Supra 3.4 cables can be had for around $100 with bare ends. I had them terminated with Supra bananas and they've bettered all cables I have on hand with my present set up. Deeper and tighter bass, a much clearer and cleaner presentat...
