Magico and Symposium
Townshend seismic isolation made a pretty sensational impact on the sound quality of ML5 speakers at the factory. So much so, Mike designed (with help from an engineer) outriggers and springs under his nearly 200lbs floor standers. I'm not at all ... 
I can prove your room is bad
Room treatment... oh what a can of worms this forum has opened upon me. I spend hours researching this topic now, so many varied opinions.I’ve spent hours already at a friends cabinet making factory, cutting up logs of cherry wood and gluing them ... 
Why no Virtual System pics??
@mikelavigne Thank you for sharing your system photos, makes my humble beginnings (which my wife sometimes disapproves of the investment, but is often telling me to play something) seem less over the top.It’s here in this forum where I’ve really l... 
Best debut album
@buddhachild - listened to LH "to Zion" just the other day, with volume!(tongue in cheek - my digital system never sounded so vinyl)Tracy Chapman self-titled, for that I would renege on London Grammar. 
Synergistic UEF Blue v. Cerious Graphene Matrix Power v. Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano
Excellent thread, I was looking at the Mad Scientist Nitro Nano power cord myself. I purchased a used Synergistic Research Master Coupler X2 20A power cord after reading threads like this, and I am so happy with the purchase!

What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work?
Kenjit, um... concrete pipe? And yeah, certainly competitive with other devices claimed as state of the art. A cabinet's audible colouration (coloration) has a significant signature to the overall sound, a tube will do well in such a situation as ... 
What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work?
Kenjit, I’d say millercarbon is correct and the effects of pressure on the inner walls of a tube (incidentally, specifically engineered to uniformly hold pressure) is a great idea. Cabinet resonance would be low using this material and geometry, e... 
Set-up with two subs and an integrated amp
Instead of using resistors, could a step down transformer be used on the amplified output?For an example Jensen might have one off the shelf that could work?I would certainly check the voltage with a multimeter after dropping the voltage for use w... 
Just confused
Fortunately I experienced it first hand, and therefore there was no scepticism in my way to overcome. Opinions vary, however I will attest to correct spring rates for the mass they are isolating absolutely do work in effectively cleaning up unwa...
