Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it.
Funny how time changes things. Today, I now use an Entreq grounding box for signal grounding and a Russ Andrews device for chassis grounding. ozzy  
??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ???
In my Audio Room: High Gloss Black, High Gloss White, High Gloss Silver, High Gloss Grey. Heck, I may even like High Gloss Red or Blue. But the wood grain finishes to me, look better in a formal living room type setting. ozzy  
Does a 2-way active crossover make sense when using a REL sub connected to the amp?
I have several JL Fathom F-113 subs and for a while I was using the JL Audio Crossover. Though the crossover's worked well I thought I was losing some transparency in the main speakers. Today, I just play the main speaker's full range and augment...

Experience with Downfiring Subwoofer
Can't you put a piece of granite, wood etc. Under the woofer that is large enough to accept the spikes sitting on it? ozzy  
New buy, no return policy
thecarpathian, Yes, I agree. I even thought about letting the dealer keep the $100 discount if I returned the item. But it was the dealer’s attitude that made me walk away. I’ll keep checking on the used market. ozzy .  
Traded Off my SLP-05
sqitis, I tried several, including the Pass Labs P-20, Ayre and the Cary SP-05. I just never enjoyed the Esotar tweeter that was used in the Andra’s. Too dark sounding. I would have preferred a faster, clearer more dynamic preamp. Alas, I ended u... 
New buy, no return policy
Perhaps not a speaker, but I was very interested in an Audio Tweak that sells for $1100. The dealer offered a $100 discount but then would not grant return privileges. So, the question is do I trust an unknown tweak for $1000 or pay full price to...

DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER
I guess it depends as to which dac you are using. Once I installed the Lumin X1 with its Leedh volume control the preamp was sold. Way better sound quality, less cables, footers etc. ozzy  
My Snubway and Main Stream Master Class Combo Review
Thanks for your response. I guess placing them close to the equipment being filtered is the best. I am fortunate to have 3 dedicated lines. Perhaps too many on one AC line is overkill. Try placing the combo with your router on a different AC line... 
Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?
When I owned tube equipment, I always wore the cotton gloves. ozzy  
speaker upgrade from Magico A3
A few years ago, after reading a few glowing reviews, I was set on buying the Magico A3’s. But when I went to the dealer for a demo, I found them to sound sort of sterile sounding. The dealer happened to have also the Focal Sopra 3. Comparing thos... 
ADD Powr Products opinions please.
The Purons are also very good. Marks newer products (Snubway/Main Stream) are even better albeit more expensive. On video, the EAU4 is better than the Purons. On audio it is a toss-up. ozzy  
ADD Powr Products opinions please.
facten, I do believe that the eau 4 is more powerful than the eau 2. Especially noticeable on video. ozzy
