| cones or amp stand-??? Stehno, my joke in the “why I love digital” thread was a contrast between the time investment required for analog and the instant gratification character of digital culture. I could not have imagined, in a thread where people were making fun of th... | |
| cones or amp stand-??? Hi Twl, I already understood your point about the mag's motivation. No blame, but it would be great if you understood my post."You are the one with the apparent "ulterior motives".""At least we make ourselves publically known on this forum as reps... | |

| Best location for isolation cones. Or you could cough up $40 for the speaker spikes...maybe?Setting the top heavy speaker 'n stand on sponge-topped cones is your problem. I am sure being made from the wrong kind of brass is another major issue - good grief - but method two seems li... | |

| Experience with Dynamat? I can't imagine how dynamat would do anything in this application. For hardwood protection (not too perverted), use coins or manufactured disks for the floors. Actually this reminds me of the time I tried to make acoustic panels to hang on my wall... | |
