Websters says slapdash=haphazard. Websters says slaphappy=dazed, silly crude..Slappy= Well fellow Dudes, you decide.. 
Mixing and Matching Cable Brands: Bad Idea??
I try to keep it simple. Granted, I have a different amp, pre-amp and front end. But I have eliminated for the most part as many other variables as my brain and my wallet will allow. All the speaker wire is the same thru-out even internal to my sp...

Yea, I do that bark stuff. It does make me howl. The strip joints, well thats to protect my monetary position..Tom

Well if you really want to have REALISTIC SOUND, then you will, just have to do it..Tom

Ohlala you never heard your system until you heard it on one of these racks. You have no idea what your individual components sound like. I expect you will change components many many times and may never switch out the Sistrum rack..Tom

Do not do it! You will create a soup sandwich. How will you be able hear which is speaking the truth. Well the most truth. You must be consistent to be coherent... Tom

Slappy, hearing is like seeing at my house. Maybe its the effects of those tall leafy plants in the yard or maybe its one of those trippy racks. Only two speakers are all that is necessary.... All in fun...Tom

All the way with Sistrum for me. Tom

Ego is a prime candidate for deciding which is better, the one I built or the one you built. Time, energy, experience, knowledge even money to maybe a smaller degree all interfere with two parties hearing the same thing. I am very proud of the uni...

Go Joe! Lets get together and hear each others system and when we do, that we partake in a usefull comparison of mass isolation versus direct coupling..Tom

Oh, but I do understand, so it is very easy to disagree. You know I had both and now I have only one. The platform was replaced years before this thread was started.Tom

84audio I would be happy to hear your system and you, hear mine. 4 teflon feet compressed under 80lbs, plus the additional weight of the resting component provdes no exit of collected resonant energy. Trapped..Tom

Bwhite, Respectfully this is but an 80lb.storage device. There are many others of this same school.. Resonant energy can only be suspended, stored with no place to go but up into the very chassis it supposedly will benefit. What about airborne ene... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
My sole motivation here is for people to get the lead out. Some things are only worth free. Mass loading is old school, dampening is old school,isolation is old school. I am old and have been to all those previous schools. Thankfully I'm not there... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Suspending a circuit within any given chassis will only serve to trap the resonant energy transmitted by the transformer and all internal as well as external wiring. Some of this errant energy will be electro-mechanical self generated by the circu...
