Hleeid, thank you for your suggestions and describing how they worked for you. That's the kind of information I'm looking for.Geoff, I'd still like to hear from you what tweaks, if any, have worked best for you.Mike 
Interesting Fed Ex encounter...
I guessing Fedex is in a mess now due to the pandemic. I ordered some IsoAcoustic Gaia isolation feet from a dealer in California. They emailed the tracking number and shipped them via Fedex to here in Virginia the Friday before last.Fedex called ...

Thomas, I’ve never been into tweaks before, but I can see it would be possible to go overboard and get over involved with them like you say, listening to how the music sounds rather than the music itself. So I’ll keep your thought in mind. Thinkin...

Millercarbon, thanks for the explanations and taking the time to write and post them. I still have to research the many tweaks you mentioned in your earlier reply, not to mention decipher the acronyms you and others have been mentioning. Hopefully...

Oregonpapa. hopefully by making the right choices in tweaks, that will turn out to be true, before the bank account runs dry anyway.SGordon1, I hear you, and what are HFT’s.Geoff, what was your last tweak and which tweaks have you found to be most...

Tablejockey, the Gaia’s appear to be working pretrty well under the VPI Classic 2 although I’ve only had them on for one day so far. I played an old Riverside Cannonball Adderly with vibraphonist Milt Hinton album, "Things are Getting Better" last...

Tvad, It would be interesting to compare the performance of the Apex footers with the IsoAcoustics to see how much improvement there might be with such a high end product. The IsoAcoustic footers made such a difference, it's hard to imagine gettin...

Tvad, sounds like you've made the rounds with isolation footers. I'd not researched the Grand Prix Apex Audio footers you mentioned, so I looked them up. Priced at $1400 for a set of four they are  only only a pipe dream.for a plebeian like me.The...

Mitch4, good luck with that. I guessing Lee Morgan was a sideman frequently. I know he appeared on some of the Wayne Shorter sides in a box set of his Blue Note output recently purchased, and elsewhere in my jazz collection. 2channel8, Neil Young ...

Middlemass, you're closing in on Coltranes complete major label repertoire ac,cording to my checklist. I think I've seventy-four albums of his on that list although a few like the Wilbur Hardens might have been originally listed under other's name...

Interesting article on Zero Freitas. That's one pile of records. Imagine trying to sort through that many albums. I wonder if he has them catalogued to know what he has.  Mike

Fleschler, I’m with you on buying those jazz complete sets on CD. They are a great bargain if you can find those that are well done like on the labels you mentioned. Thanks for mentioning which lablels are good in that regard. That’’s a valuable p...

Fleschler, that is interesting you’ve that many albums, virtually a library of music. Are the many you mentioned, those for whom you have the complete output? How do you go about acquiring so many? Do you buy up others collections for example, or ...
