Are tubes psychological?
AND there are the TUBES. Check out those platforms. I’ve seen them at least a dozen times. I think that is Quaalude.. I’m sure I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong. White dopes on punk! LOL Been a while. Regards  
Foundation Designer stands replica
Not a thing there that is fancy. Measure twice, cut once, grind once, and tack it. Check your work, weld a little more if that makes you happy drill holes in the TOP plate so you can fill the legs with what ever makes your pickle squirt and put c... 
Subwoofer for music, how low?
This is a CSS type, the mass is on the outside, BUT the passive is not real sensitive, this type you would add or remove large amount of putty at a time to notice a Q difference.. It will work just fine though. This one is good to 7hz is that lo...

https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-RSS315-PR-12-Aluminum-Cone-Passive-Radiator-295-502   This is A passive. I use one that the mass is on the outside. You don't have to remove the driver to add mass. The washers are on the outside a... 
Are tubes psychological?
I like stuff that makes noise, sparkels, blows up, smokes, catches fire, backs the screws out of sheetrock and in general is expensive. As long as it's someone else's stuff and in someone else's neighborhood. Please provide video.. :-) Thankyou... 
Subwoofer for music, how low?
4 10" 44-10s. This is my personal favorite sub of all time. This will hit what EVER  you want, no problem. https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-RSS265HO-44-10-Reference-HO-DVC-Subwoofer-295-463   I use Behringer NU12000s and a DCX269... 
Subwoofer for music, how low?
DEBRA isn’t very expensive. James R. No idea on the shipping. I thought some of the parts were from Parts Express, like the amps. They have pretty good shipping rates too. Flat packs, there are a few sources, some better than others. PE is one. H... 
Subwoofer for music, how low?
The key to your question was music. Everyone chimed in about "most" music hitting 20hz. Some does. Rel is a coupled sub. In other words your floor is the bottom of the slot on that type of sub. The best way to make that type of sub work is, mass l... 
When to Amp it Up?
Here is something I've come to realize. What sounded good 10 years ago hasn't changed a bit. But my ears probably did. IF it sounded great 10 years ago and the gear you use dosen't wear out, what happened? That's right MY ears have changed. The o... 
Santa didnt bring me a $20k linestage
Better yet I come up with a linestage preamp for 1K and you leave 19K in the stocking for Santa, you drink the Fu$%#n' milk and cookies cuz Santa's a little strapped after the inflation thing. Reindeer food went up 400% and Vets cost a lot when th... 
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
When the room and electrical is 50% of the sound, that leave gear, speakers and cabling. Good cabling and switching from one to another for me is horizontal more than vertical. A ground up approach, is working the best for me. Electrical Room Gea...

Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?
When everyone finds out Confucius was a Dutch tulip farmer are they gonna be really confused. Why Not St Patrick was actually a Roman. How did that happen? LOL I heard both were audiophilers. :-) Regards  
Not manufactured any more.
Thanks decooney I'll clean mine up..   
KrappyKables?
I was actually a Hyundai, certified repair person on their heavy duty side. What a PILE. Everything worked just good enough. Never WELL. The radiators in dairy work would plug, the excavators would overheat if you hooled up an high volume hydrauli...
