| where to find lead shot? When you find it don't buy it...It really sucks...the life out of your speakers and your system..Tom | |
| Alternatives to the Thiel Outriggers? I worked for a Thiel dealer up until a year ago..The outriggers are really just a device to keep the speakers more upright most of the time..they do nothing to improve the sound..I am now a independent dealer and sell Starsound products..Audiopoin... | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... Newbee thanks for being a replacement..I do not sell my wares on the Net..I am all about the total solution..Selling only a single element to a client and having them implement that single piece into some UFO system with horrendous acoustics is no... | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... What kind of center channel is that? Where is your center channel speaker? Is this a 5.1 or 7.1 system?..It sounds as if there are no speakers in the room. They are gone...I cannot believe that bass..All from and about those 2 Caravelles..Tom | |
| Lead shot questions Its not a cure for the bass or any other frequency..Its a sponge that sucks the life out of the speaker or the stand filled with shot underneath. The lead is not sensitive to any selected bandpass of frequencys..They all become screwed up.Tom | |

| Replace Krell Showcase Preamp mode with 280P? David you have a 2 channel preamp that retails for $3500 and a 7 chn preamp with video switching, onscreen display, dsp on board for 4k..Sounds like two totally different critters to me. And two different pieces of equipment directed towards two d... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? If you want to make the stage blacker, quieter and have the music arrive noise free and I believe everyone does, then the most over looked, easiest, most cost effective ,and most fullfilling crossover mod is to replace the resistors.. They are the... | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared Jayboard the whole approach is to not impede the flow but to allow the flow to happen more easily. If you add a point or mass to the top of a component you will disrupt the speed and have multiple points of exit..none being more coherent or effici... | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared Fiddler thanks for the nice try the open mind! There may be again, a second round. In the mean time listen and enjoy..Tom |
