Well, I purchased a Lumin X1 which uses the Leedh volume control. So, I sold the preamp, cables. footers etc. I am going straight from the Lumin to my Mono block amps. ozzy  
The Music Room
I have had mixed experiences with TMR. Just recently I tried to purchase a used item and trading in an item. Wow! Were they way off base! Not only on my trade in value but in the price they wanted for there "used" item. They were not willing to ... 
Xhadow XLR Connectors Any Substitutes?
Though I appreciate a good quality XLR connector, I am amazed at the price of them. Why are they so expensive? ozzy  
Any thoughts about the RR-888
I owned the Acoustic RR-888, RR 777 and the RR 77 for years. And to me, they made the soundstage seem to be larger. Through the years I have changed components and speakers, but I never moved the Acoustic Revive items, until recently... As I remo...

Thank you for some very good suggestions. I prefer Screw type connectors because I would like to try different types of wire. ozzy  
Xhadow XLR Connectors Any Substitutes?

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
