| Thw best sand for ballast dampening is? I also think this is what you have in mind. Add it in small amounts as it is VERY effective and you can over-damp the system, more is not necessarily better in this case. | |
| Interfacing Speakers & Stands The variation in speaker construction probably precludes any universal best method. I have used Blutak but have not been happy with it. I have gone back to being a dealer after a long lapse and I have been investigating the things that have come a... | |
| High Pass filter subwoofer integration It would degrade the sound to a greater or lesser degree. I usually use 2 REL Stadium subs that I start to roll off at 25Hz and run my main speakers full range. They do not have as extended a bottom end as yours does so yours should do even better... | |
| punk was an assault on disco When I was a boy ads for large assortments of fireworks always ended with "free punk". I never ordered any so I never found out what it was but I imagined it to be some cord you could light that would burn brightly for a little while and ignite ot... | |
| Musical Fidelity KW500 and speaker match I have the earlier M3 , which is similar and use Spendor SP-1/2Es and Mini Utopias. I would think the 500 is like the 800 lb. you know what, it uses any speaker it wants. | |
| Buyers and Sellers ever Speak by Phone Anymore? I was called by a prospective buyer form Switzerland this winter. We talked for about 4 hours in two sessions. Although we did not have a transaction we had an enjoyable time. I have met some interesting audiophiles on Audiogon. | |

| Bad preamp choice? I have a simple solution, for a nominal sum I will post highly laudatory reviews of your preamp. What would you like me to say? Seriously, it is fine to ask advice but the only opinion that counts is yours. | |
| Explain the asthetics of Punk "aesthetics?, we don't need no stinking aesthetics!" Now THAT is the spirit of punk. | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? It has been proved in blind test after blind test that amps sound the same. These tests "prove" nothing except that the people involved did not hear a difference, not that others wouldn't. I guarantee you that I would not have bought the expensive... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? I like the reviews of cables in HIFICRITIC. They have been quite helpful to me. But cables are very system specific. That said, my system is quite fluid and the same ones usually sound better when I change amps, speakers, sources. My experience ha... | |
| should speakers be coupled or decoupled? The technical description of the Star Sound approach can be found here. http://www.starsoundtechnologies.com/coulomb.html | |
| should speakers be coupled or decoupled? I can claim to have some knowledge of the working of science, I did my PhD research in it's history. I reiterate that what you are describing is not science. Quoting theory will not tell you in advance how something will sound, just how it MAY sou... | |
| Phono PreAmp with less than a 12" x 15" footprint Dynavector 75 is very small and is an amazing bargain. ($750). | |
