| Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ I offer the following, after my first few months with an FEQ:I would experiment with other isolation devices in addition toMIGS, to get the most from the FEQ. This makes a huge difference, as does the underlying support material (shelf or stand) y... | |

| Listening chair suggestions Check out www.ki.comA basic chair can be comfortable, functional, and nice looking,and doesn't have to come from a garage sale (or look like it did).I custom ordered mine by picking the right style and colors.I first saw the STRIVE chair at a heal... | |
| Listening chair suggestions IMHO, "comfort" is over-rated, here.I want comfortable shoes, in the sense that I don't want tofeel pain, I don't want my attention drawn to discomfort in my feetwhen I stand or walk. When I am paying attention and listening seriously to music, I ... | |

You might be able to hear a difference byaddressing the "mess" this way.Attitude is important, too. You could suggest to your partnerthat this is just an experim... | |
