| Any comments on Symposium Svelte Shelf? If you use isolation devices in your system then you are only masking and dampening the glare that is stored in your components. | |
| How grills affect? First things to go on my SCiv's were the grilles. Sound much better when the grilles are in the closet than when they are masking the speakers. Tom | |
| Any comments on Symposium Svelte Shelf? To make any component sound better seek out a Sistrum platform or better yet their complete rack. They let you, for the first time hear your system under real dynamic conditions. | |
| Pat Metheny Concert I have had the pleasure of hearing the Pat Metheny Group three times, always superb, in every way.Great to come away knowing they can play those instruments for real, and sound better than the recording. | |
| thoghts about isolation. The devices I am using can be described as reactive devices that collect and then pass to ground, mechanical, electrical as well as airborne vibration. These designs are not isolation devices and are not designed to store energy in a box or a shel... | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company Audiotomb,I have heard both,there is, I feel no valid way to compare these two products.I tried the Gray product in my audio only system///it killed it.I have a friend with dedicated room built from scratch up, no cost restraints Revel/Levinson/Eq... | |

| Would you like to know about Dunlavy mods? Ferrous material in and around a circuit board can attract RFI.This is why one should use brass hardware which does not act as an antenna and also is less resonant than the steel screws and mounting plates found in Dunlavy as well as other speaker... | |
| Would you like to know about Dunlavy mods? Ferrous materials around the magnetic structure (other than the pole piece} will interfere with the lines of flux.The difference I heard when I subsituted the brass machine screws was a smoother,quieter sound, less apparent hash, lower distotion,w... | |
| Would you like to know about Dunlavy mods? No, I did neither of those mods.I feel that if you did those type of changes you would change the time alignment.I do not have the means to measure time offset.Actually the crossover upgrades and the removal of all the steel from the around the co... | |
| thoghts about isolation. Again you cannot isolate vibration ,you can only change the amplitude and its frequency.The best way to dissipate it, is to speed its path to ground.You can bet this method is based on sound physics. | |
| Would you like to know about Dunlavy mods? Actually the following mods would work to improve any speaker. Remove all the ferrous metals in and around the crossover these include all the steel hardware, screws mounting brackets etc. Replace these with brass.Replace the steel screws holding ... | |
| thoghts about isolation. Why try to isolate anything, it cannot be done. You will waste your time, money, and only be frustrated with the results. Oh yeah, there will be a difference, but how often do we mistake differences for genuine improvements? Common to all systems ... | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company Totally negative experience with Richard Gray Power Station!My system became totally lifeless, non-involving and dynamically anemic with the addition of The Power Station.This change in life was very apparent to a couple of audio novices who have ... |
