Buyer's request. If Sellers could list photos of units on with lights.
Trying to diagnose a nonfunctional LED on a 10/10 integrated bought on this site! Photo or not, the seller ought to have noted that. I'd be laughin' and I am. I'm chasing down an LED gremlin too, now you see me, now you don't.  Look, inside, n... 
Does altitude change the sound of speakers??
Is the feel good factor, a plus or a minus with the sound effect at altitude? Better or worse?, Or just less, work to get there? Just wondering.. So if can’t hear a fart in space, can you smell one, or does that go hand in hand. Bet you can’t smel... 
Does altitude change the sound of speakers??
I like D_S answer.. hee hee. The air is thinner, thing are bound to be a little faster and with less pressure on the old ear drum, ay? But give it a little time, just like you for the altitude change.. Interesting though.. Humidity is right in the...

What your choice speakers with spikes or speakers with a vibration isolation device?
They have smaller ones for individual components, do you see a problem with floating a CD player in the air? The magnetic field? How will that influence things... I'm always a little careful, with magnets.. Hard drives, eproms, tape decks, Reel...
