I don't know the full story but he was caring it around in the back of his truck ARMED; hit a bump and it went off.Scratch one gas station. He was bailed out by someone from the Pentagon; I had always assumed that they somehow squared it but I hav... 
Salk Songtower upgraded factory spikes?
Plastic spikes? I liked the Star Sound brass ones so much I became a dealer for them. I replaced the steel spikes on my Sound Anchor and Skylan speaker stands with them and put them under my REL subs; it made a big difference. A friend just replac... 
VPI Classic upgrade what any had the SDS, it is a
I assume you are asking if the SDS is a big upgrade for the Classic. I have the SDS and have ordered a Classic, Wendell already has one. So when I get mine or take the SDS over to Wendell's we can give you an answer, just not right now. 
Record Clam, yes or no
I have been using a Bren center weight on my Basis 2001 as I didn't want to pay $400 for a Basis clamp, I had decided that I liked it better without the weight, then I found a used Basis clamp, I like the sound much better with it; but others migh... 
Wilson Cubs on a Budget
You might look the Focal line. Wilson uses modified versions of their drivers and the Mini Utopias I had had something of the Wilson sound TO MY EAR. Listen to some if you get the chance, not necessarily just the MUs. 
Record Clam, yes or no
It depends on the clamp and the table, every combination is different, same with outer ring. Sometimes better, sometimes not. 
din cable recommendation
It seems to me that it is around a meter but send him an email and make sure. I have had no problem at all with mine and am very happy with the sound. Some of the products on the market seem very overpriced in comparison. Since you can get your mo... 
Bi-amping Revel Gems with a tube integrated amp
The problem I see is that you are going to be splitting the output of your CD player 3 ways. The passive box provided no gain so the output stage of your CD player or other source is going to have to drive 3 devices by itself while also driving a ... 
din cable recommendation
I bought the arm cable listed here on ebay for my Graham 2.2. I got the Silver Bullet plugs and Clearaudio DIN plug as options and it was still under $250 if my memory is correct. I am very happy with it. He gives a money back guarantee.http://cgi... 
Subwoofers - Grille off or on?
You know, before I joined this forum I had no idea of the power other people appear to think I possess. I had previously regarded myself as unquestionably the worlds foremost authority on my own opinion. When I make a statement like " I have never... 
Subwoofers - Grille off or on?
A very pretty paradox as Gilbert and Sullivan would say. 
Subwoofers - Grille off or on?
Just which speakers do you have in mind? Are you saying that the ones I have listened to really sound better with them on? What I said was that I had never heard one sound better. I have not heard all speakers and I doubt if you have heard the one... 
How do I improve a room with a low ceiling?
I also have a 7" foot ceiling, 13'x35'x7'. I thought about ceiling treatment but found with Ready Acoustics panels I didn't need need it. You could transfer them to your new room, they are quite attractive, even my wife likes them, and not very ex... 
VPI HRX
I am a VPI dealer but I have never had an HRX. I do not believe that it uses an armboard, my Aries extended did not. There seems to be a growing consensus that separate arm boards degrade the sound. Ordinarily, the Graham would fit in the same cut... 
Subwoofers - Grille off or on?
I have never had a pair of full range speakers that sounded better with grills so I never use them. 3 of the 4 pairs of subs I have have no grill over the speaker, being either upward firing or downward firing. I do have grills on my Nelson Reed 1...
