Congratulations uberwaltz, seems you're making promising advances mate. Keep us posted. Indranil, have you tried the rubber bands thing we discussed?If it works, then yeah I would seriously consider the uprated springs. I was also thinking, have y... 
Think fast: What would you take?
Australia has been hit by some pretty bad fires, not good at all.I hope people in rural areas know how to manage with back burning (I think Americans call it controlled burning?, reduction burning?) . Obviously in the burbs that’s not possible.Goo...

Millercarbon, glue an accelerometer to you garage floor and record its output while you start up your car, rev the engine and drive in and out. Please tell us what you get! what you get is a vehicle suspended on... wait for it...springs! And tires...

clio09 - I am very interested in hearing more about your experience with this. Thank you. 
Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world
mahgister Yeah, but did you have a swarm or an array of sub woofers?If you did not, he was very specific in saying that he did, for many years, before applying room treatment. And it was in other areas he found the more significant performance inc... 
Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world
@audiokinesis  (Actually imo one sub may not always be better than no sub - many dipole owners have tried one sub and gone back to no sub.) This thread and another also about sub woofers are really informative to myself. The advocates of multi...
