Preamp Deal of the Century
Thin skinned maybe. Some of my ideas on this site have gotten me wacked. Some days I lack the skills and the patience to explain some of the methods that I use, some will be applied to real acoustic musical instruments. I try not to dampen anythin... 
insulating after-market speakers
Just reworked the acoustics in a church recital hall. Wound up using long hair sheeps wool.This material is easy to work with. Easy to weigh and to pull apart sections in a linear and repeatable manner.. Acoustically it is very linear in how it re...

Tubegroover sir..I question more the method of inserting a new device into one's system than the the mere presence of the device itself. How many of us have re-tuned our system by mix-ing and not matching cables? Was it the color that we just adde... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
