fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
Albert, no more than ILS. Tom 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
The non fuse magnets that I use all made for a significant difference. The two replaced on the main amp board were kicked up several notches when I replaced the main ac fuse beside the power cord for each amp with the magnets. The difference was l... 
Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values
And even yet when these speakers are properly coupled within their own cabinet and to the room cabinet that surrounds them they truly become three dimensional and much less critical to placement. Ya just got to venture out and do it. Tom

Sounds similar to a thread dated 07-24-01. Historical repeat. Tom 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
A friend of mine replaced the in line fuse on his BAT VK31SE with a maget non fuse I lent him..One fuse nothing else,he said it was a dramatic difference, his teenage son agreed. So did his bird who has an open cage and flys about.Seems that when ...

No fuses magnets only. And then treated across their centers with AVM. Double blind or double deaf the difference is tactile.Tom 
Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values
Shadorne, The second speaker system I ever owned was Tympani 3a's tri-amped. Very complex system to get my arms around. I was only 22 then and the imaging imbalances in my room at that time drove me nuts. The room was large and so were those panel... 
Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values
Shadorne good read,When I went external with my Dunalavy SC4's crossovers I hard mounted all the components on 2024 1/4 inch aluminum plate. This material has a high percentage of copper content and is vibrationaly reactive in a good way. All resi... 
Von Schweikert VR4 SR II speaker spikes
When the VR4's are properly coupled there is no need to mass load this speaker. In fact when properly coupled it is easy to hear all the negatives of mass loading. The others have provided you with the best suggestion in mechanical coupling. Tom 
Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
In forty years I have had only one component failure and that was an ARC SP10. The unit flamed out, the fuse didn't blow and the breaker didn't trip. I was there in the room when this happened. I tripped the breaker myself in the closet where the ...

You need to try the non fuse repalacements from Rick at Virtual Dynamics. They are high power magnets.. They are 3d and sound as if you have an entirely new amp. Tom 
CDP Isolation?
Sns,I agree with you. What gets me is this.The word isolation is such a poor choice of a descriptive term for a product catagory that fails to function well with one physical state let alone several at the same time. Designers need to look away fr... 
CDP Isolation?
Isolation? Some isolation? Total isolation? Isolation from what is floorborne? Isolation from what may be airborne. How about isolation from what is internally generated? How would you be able to attain isolation? Tom 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
Photon..Exactly..You got it going thats great. The whole idea is not to store excess energy whether it be a musical instrument a speaker cabinet or an electronic device. You want to lessen the time signature much as you would in a capacitor. You w... 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
Photon,Experiencing the audible advantages that brass has added to floor mounted musical instruments, I believe that the active harmonic structurer of brass fasteners in relation to the mass of a speaker cabinet would be a benefit. The extraneous ...
