| Vienna Acoustics Mahler, carpet piercing cones? Audiogon member esoler makes the best cones. They are made out of stainless steel and he will make them to your specs. They are priced less than the name brands and sound better. IMHO I hope this helps. Happy Listening! John | |

| Cyro'd Outlets - Need strong hold on Elrods Try giving your Elrods some support with cotton string. It will aid in suspending them off the floor and away from other cables. I hope this helps. Happy Listening! | |
| DIY help on Speakers Stands Greetings Jeff, I agree with the two prior posts about using Maple if you must use wood. My question is: why not just get 2"-3" cones and be done with it? The cones alone will sound much better than using the cone/block/vibrapod combination. A-gon... | |
| Sub crossover setting.... Invest in a Rat shack analog sound level meter and one of Rives test cd's. They have the adjustments for the meter in their instructions. That is the best way to set the X-over point. Happy Listening! John | |

| Preamp Isolation Cones Without Going NUTS 4yanx, in my system I prefer the Soler points and pucks to all others I have tried. That includes BDR's with pucks, Mapleshade Triplepoints, Tone cones and others. And it is superior to all sorbothane or rubber based products. IMHO YMMV. Happy Lis... | |
