| looking for best isolation platform for CD player Isolation is not possible so the platform you are in search of does not exist. Sistrum makes no claims of being an isolation platform. Sistrum effectively collects and then presents a high speed path for resonant energy to exit to ground. Electro-... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Nearfield listening is avoidance of the inherent in room acoustic problems and blinds the listener to the boundary limits of the recorded soundstage. Tom | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century My experiments with dampening materials shut down the sound of my system and stifled the dynamics. Life started again by removing the lead and dampening.Tom | |
| How to Liven up a room Those 90 degree angles need to be 47 degrees instead.You would have to make these out of drywall. These angles would give proper airflow across an 8ft ceiling.Tom | |
| Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one? Slappy for test: Plug your Denon 3803 direct into the wall,then plug your favorite source piece into the unswitched ac output of the receiver.

| Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one? Slap Man if you listen tonight listen first for a while to your usual choice cuts.. Turn system off without changing volume or any other control. Un plug system from conditioner. Plug receiver and cd directly to wall. Play same source and music as... |
