| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? OK,thanks for the pic post info.Maybe I did do damping not isolation.I'll attempt a pic post tomorrow sunday.It's really quite simple,maybe it's just reinforcing the cabinet but I think it's reducing vibrations to the drivers.I did the same thin... | |

| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?

| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? What about 40 to 50 year old tape sound deteriorated over all that time? | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? I stopped buying reissued vinyl.It's a gamble that almost never is worth it.And you can't return a piece of lousy sounding new vinyl for a refund most of the time.Last one for me was Zappa's Hot Rats.I go for original pressings and when affordable... | |
