| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Hartwerger,Sorry for the delay of my response but I just hit the thread again and saw your post. What blew me away was the dramatic change in my systems sound. I first tried the Large SoundPosts under my Cary SLI-80 and was imediately taken back b... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Tboooe, Yes, they sit under the component and not attached in anyway. You are correct on the positioning of the three SoundPosts as well. They actually come with a tool and a thread which assist you in mapping out the actual center/circumference o... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Tone woods really can make a difference under your components. I was very skeptical myself until I tried a few products from Monument Reference. www.monref.com and was blown away at what it did in my system. They were definitely more expensive tha... | |

| Good Advice Great thread! I too have a couple of friends who cannot sit still and listen to music. They are always making changes in speaker positioning, trying a different tweek on every song, and even coloring CD's with markers to compensate for the recordi... | |

Everything John Atkinson recommends sounds this way if you take a look at his recommended component history. I think his Class A rating i... | |
