New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
Even if you don't buy one, there is a ton of info and insight flowing from those guys that may help with any digital purchase. Tom 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
Keep looking at the Lamp. Would love to hear one. I have this 12 chip dac tower http://www.dddac.de/start.html that I use in conjunction with an Altmann input receiver. A tiny [except for the marine battery and capacitor bank} thing with sound as ...

You might email Tom James at Eminence speaker he had much to do with that 15 inch driver when John was designing the VI's. Tom

The Krell should be able to handle any reactive whip lash with out a Zobel network. The 220uf cap seems that it would be the bass filter for the 2 8ohm 8 inch mid-woofers wired in parallel that net 4 ohms combined for a 6db slope around 180hz. Tha...

Have you heard or own the Shakti Hallograph
I have had Argent Room Lenses for years. Used 3 for sometime and then put one in hiding. I put it behind my chair this weekend to adjust the horizontal offset of the soundstage which had slightly more weight on the left side. If move the lens ever... 
Horning Eufrodites - help needed with boomy bass
The pillows you tried early on can you put those on the floor underneath the cd storage area? And if you have more, open the doors of that same cabinet and put something soft in there as well. And then leave the doors open for energy to pass thru ...

Volleyguy1Mechanical coupling is just that and generally has no design bearing on capacitors other than maybe how they are wound and most importantly under the context of resonance control..how they are mounted. Direct mechanical coupling is a met...

Same is true for direct mechanical coupling. You will have much greater dynamic contrast as well as a measurable increase in spl. Tom

Chinkwan are ya just visiting for the day? is that why your in such a hurry. Tom 
Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362
LallThe single plug has less mass suspended upon the same amount of brass so the plug will transfer resonance faster. There are many more things that can be done to complete this whole transfer process. The empty plug test could provide insight if... 
Vibration
You have built a storage capacitor for the vibration to reside longer than is natural. The vibration will regenerate faster than you can impede, muddy and store. There are more effective means. Good luck. Tom

Single outlets are the best sounding because they have less resonance..see the Hubbell HBL5361. Mounting screws are ferrous but those can easily be changed. Stainless steel is very slightly magnetic , go with brass. Tom

AmusebThe cabinet under your cd's has vents which from this side of the ocean makes me think the doors are metal and something mechanical is behind them. If you could open the doors or remove them that may help. If the cabinet needed to stay the w...
