How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration
To those who responded: Though final conclusions have not been reached, Operation Marble Slab has been generally successful producing benefits in midrange clarity, some increase in bass, and overall, a more coherent presentation of the music. Howe...

To Hevacl, does the sale of rubber and cork squares appear in the audio accessories section on Amazon, and who makes them, or is it DIY?? I do not want to elevate the slab more than one half inch off of the surface of the wooden table. Thanks, Jim

TO BW: The cork mat sounds simple enough to make..... Unfortunately, I decided to go ahead and try the marble slab before I read any of the posts, so therefore my concern about lifting it again. Surely, a two man job. I will let you know if I deci...

Rogue Audio two new integrateds Great or Same old?
I should have ask before: where does the Rogue Cronus Magnum fit into this integrated amp pecking order. It cost $1200 less than the "The Pharoah" ($2295 vs.$3495)I know the CM is an all tube design, and less power. Would like to know what the sou...

BW, where did you purchase the cork platter matt. Thanks for the additional info about the thickness of the cork board. The downside of placing the cork board under the marble is I would have to very carefully lift the marble slab which weighs alo...

Thanks to all three members for their input. Chrissain, keep us posted as it breaks in, and in your opinion the overall quality of the sound. BTW, who makes an M-180?? Is that an older ARC amp or integrated.?? Thanks, Jim

Thanks to those who have responded so far. I have accomplished situating the marble slab onto the wooden plant table which is 50 inches long. The mothering slab must weigh about 100 lbs. I am praying it will not collapse the table, but the latter ... 
Speaker cables: $3000 or $380. What do you get??
J135, I have heard this before about the Double Helix; does the "plus" version worth the extra money?? In what way are they outstanding?? Hopefully, they are very musical and make you want to listen to CD's and LP you have not played in a long whi...

Nice looking system; I wish I had that amount of space. Anti-Cables is a definite possibility. They now offer upgraded models, the highest being the Reference 3; the speaker cable is surely not expensive and worth a try. My only gripe is the cable...

Knghfi. Thanks for being less understanding than other members. I am sure someday your karma will come back on you. Should I ask you out of the most humble deference the span of your audio experience?? For, the record my obsession with this hobby ...

To ZD542, Yea you did come across kind of hostile....I was going to recommend Valium. Nah, I know you meant well.Nevertheless, for those who may see me as novice, I am not. Since 1988, the year I bought a real serious high-end system. I have used ... 
New Rega Apollo-R
Thanks to those who answered my questions. Jetson, Sorry,I highjacked your thread for 24 hours.Zd542. I don't agree with you much on the issue of reviewers veracity, or the accuracy of their evaluations. However, I think it is not entirely foolish... 
New Rega Apollo-R
Without creating a similar post, let me ask those who once owned or heard the original Apollo, IF THE APOLLO-R is that much better than the original?? Or, just marginally so?? The ads say so, but the few reviews I've read seemed to be less unenthu...
