Well that's better than eatin' bugs.. :-) You know you don't have to accept the gift my friend, return it to the giver. Pretty simple.. If he is really bugging you let admen know to give him a chat. I've never had to but I suppose there is a plac... 
Nobsound springs - load range
In the spring and there are few different colors to. Technicolor. :-) I'm at 390 lbs before a 2" base a 2" bronze cap (optional) and a rear cabinet modification. Hovering at 500 lbs. I'm going with pods in three spots. The main speakers and the ... 
Nobsound springs - load range
No I sprayed 50 springs with Flex Seal and then used ear plugs inside the springs. It made quit a bit of difference.. It actually works perfect for lighter stuff like turntables, amps.. Speakers I notice it a lot less. The springs do it for the sp... 
New listening room question
I'm with Jerry. Go listen to your own. The only problem is her system IS better than mine. The Miss has a really nice setup actually.. I'm workin on mine AS usual. The longest project sense the Panama Canal.. and paying the US debt.. Regards  
Moving away from inefficient/low impedance speaker in order to move to a Tube Amp
I found a lot of the older speakers sound very good with 20 watts wpc.  I've been running Macs and the last 4 years Carys with great success. I had one pair of 88db sensitivity @ 8 ohms speakers that used a quasi second order 4 way XO to help dis... 
Damaged Driver
Capital my good man, capital.. I can get them almost perfect with a sharp dental pick and tape.. You only need a DUST cap to keep debris and dust out and stop the air leak from front to back. Adding a phase plug the cone to phase plug clearance ne... 
Nobsound springs - load range
You looking for equal load distribution, the compression of the pod is what your trying to accomplish. Keep in mind it takes a couple days of playing to settle them in too. Never hurts to take notes and do a final adjustment and placement of the s...

I like Mac..    
SVS PB-1000 Pro vs SVS PB-2000
Don't cheap out buy 4 of something or mix and match. It going to be Christmas.. Treat yourself.. ;-)  I did, I just ordered 2 more GR double 12" and a TT I've had sense they first made it. A Thoren 2030.. Mine got nicked in 2015. I'm still sick a... 
Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands
The last part of my career was foundational drilling for earth reinforcement. I don’t care what you have it moves and vibrates. Even 7.5" concrete on 8" friction peers every 4 feet vibrates.. Decouple everything.. Simple. There no exception to the... 
Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands
SVS, JL and the RELs S812 (I think) it's not ported are pretty serious subs.. I still believe more is better and medium excursion is better if you have enough drivers.. It's about moving air. HOW you do it, makes a big difference.. In the 80-90s... 
Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands
jtcf, some subs like the REL bottom firing units can really rock the joint. I use to really like it, but things change. That's one, I don't drink so cranking the system is usually an occasion but not the norm. Raising a bass unit UP is one of the... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
andypandy 40 posts 11-22-2021 6:39pm My point was he didn’t show the world about his trade "illusion" secrets. And the only thing you get from these now from what I’ve been reading about them, is called "expectation bias" for your $200, and ... 
Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands
REL is wrong plain and simple, They will put 12 coats of lacquer but won't cop for a set of 10.00 springs in bulk... Cracks me up.. BLING and glitter sells. What actually works you have to train people about.. Nothing changes.. I like both or cou... 
Rel S812 fuse, AC cable, footers
If they are a sealed or ported and NOT using a bottom passive radiator, you decouple the speaker, no matter what ANY manufacture says. The same way REL learned to make a model that is not bottom firing. They will also LEARN decoupling is what audi...
