Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?
Alun, the same answer applies to why they don't provide a better power supply that might not be so affected by the power cord-price point. But I must say that I don't know any designer that spends much time with power cord evaluation. Recently, I ... 
Just installed Cathedral Sound Panels
I think you mean they had a neglible effect. 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
Samuel, a long time ago I agreed with several who emailed me that I should just stop posting on another thread. I have tried, but unsuccessfully. I guess it is because those who I respond to claim to be representative of science and I think they p... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
Is there anyone here that doesn't believe that Tooly is totally ignorant and trying to persuade people that they should not just let their ears decide for them? I just want to know who appointed Tooly, Audiofool, and Jeffrey to police their intere... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
Jeffrey, sorry I hit a nerve by pointing out your typical meaningless posts. By the way a rationale is a liturgical vestment worn by clergy, in particular by Bishops, in the Roman Catholic Church which uses full vestments. wikipedia Perhaps you do...

Jeffrey, what is the evidence behind your "vastly overpay" statement? And is the Detroit Lion fan comment anything but ad hominem? I guess this is your usual meaningless attack.

Ironically, there is a patent for a root-channel, but I meant root-canal. Sorry! 
isolation
Cdc, the Vibraplane is not one of the professional isolation bases I was referring to. It is nothing more than a lot of mass on a bladder. It behaves like a spring with a low resonance frequency.I do agree that in general one must choose ones pois... 
isolation
Stthomas, I have often had the same experiences with isolation. Many report how much they love maple, but for me it robs the music of dynamics and pace. I could hardly wait to remove it. I had tungsten carbide steel tiptoes made to support my Fina...

More bull shit by audiofool. Reading his endless misinformed and mocking style is like getting a root-channel. It is not recommended. 
isolation
If you move a wire in a magnetic field, it will generate a current. All the wires in you equipment if they move are generating new signal into your equipment. Unfortunately nearly all isolation devices have a resonant frequency down to which they ...

I guess the answer to the base question of the thread is that some do not believe in any MD tweaks and some believe in some of them and these are people who have tried them. 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul, you are right given their lighter weight, but I have a pair of the Townsend speaker cradles coming. I have yet to hear them, but I am told they transform the La Campanellas. See: http://www.townshendaudio.net/index.php?option=com_content&... 
Stealth Dream AC powerchord
I agree with the above, but I have not tried the even more expensive Prana wires. The Dreams are now use exclusively, and I no longer use any ac filtering as even the best hurts the immediacy of the sound. 
Bogdan Silver Spirit interconnects with silver Eic
I used them at one time. They are very good, but I have moved on with the Cerious Technologies and then the Jades. I have 1 m. and 4 m. runs for sale, if you are interested.
