Isolation platform for the power amps
I got my granite for $20 and sand was out of a sand box. That is pretty cheap. I don't use these anymore, however.

Mrjstark, 3" granite on sand base will blow it away. At least that is my experience.

Does "hears" mean here is?

For that price, I would recommend as thick a piece of granite as you can afford used in a 1" deep sand filled box. Forget air suspensions.

I guess I don't write well. I was in no way dismissing the Prosenium tt. I did not have the version with the new arm, but it certainly was an outstanding tt. I merely mean that Lloyd is a genius in putting together a system and tweaking it to perf...

Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Condocondor, not to be combative but I have used both and sold them. In particular, the ERS paper proved a disaster in my system, even the smallest piece. It robbed music of all thrill and dynamics. Incidentally, I have found that aluminum duct ta... 
Crossover-less Speakers

Magico 3
Roypan, sorry about that. I have had a love/hate experience with full-range drivers. I love having no crossover, but only the Beauhorn Virtuosos proved at all satisfying for me. I had to add subwoofers and super tweeters to use them, however. I ha... 
Magico 3
Roypan, I understood that you were not dismissing the Minis. I really want to hear the new Feastrex speakers at the RMAF. They may be more satisfying than even the Magico Version 3s. 
Magico 3
Thanks for making me realize that I was not crazy. I have never heard Mini sound good at any show, and I thought the big Magicos were overloading the room at CES. Then I asked what are these speakers and was told they were Version 3s and listed to... 
Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?
Douglas_Schroeder, you call them the "cable atheists" but they are really the fraud police. I can tell you from personal experience that it is best to just ignore them. 
Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?
Buy at Radio Shack.

Mrtennis, some already provide no power cords, Accustic Arts. 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Blackwillard, 99% of the world doesn't care about sports cars, fine wine, plasma tvs, guns, electronic games, travel abroad, or any of the other vices that afflict modern society. Obviously, money is the key element is being able to afford your pa...
