| Flexy rack threaded rod material If the dollars are there then brass all the way...especially at the ground plane..the floor and shelf. The termination is not all about the material but also the mass and geometry..trilogy as it were. Tom | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material I have compared steel all thread rods with brass all thread rods with the same components and the same shelving. One left and one stayed. Oh before that I compared brass lock nuts with the steel lock nuts on steel rods.. again one left and one sta... | |
| "Violinists blast holes in violin experiment" My endpin designs actually seem to set up new vibrational patterns within the wooden body of the instrument. My pins are more reactive by design as well as serve as a method for mechanical grounding. The very cool thing about all of this is that t... | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable AndrewI too saw his lack of history and find that unusual. Why would someone join a club and be a member for some 21 months without a post, a listing or a whisper. With no posting history from a reviewer as a guideline, I personally would have to ... | |
| "Violinists blast holes in violin experiment" I make custom endpins for cello and bass. Most musicians have trouble hearing a difference between pins, even when there is a 1 db difference in output between 2 pins under audition. This could be caused by their position under the ear and behind ... | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable Yesterday I did a search for an ADA P2150 amp [not familiar with the product] and a seller had one in perfect shape but said it had a loose RCA connection. A loose RCA with a heavy cable suspended from a poor mechanical connection could wreck havo... | |

| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat I have some new acoustic devices that I now use on my speakers and lay on the floor. The way that sound travels over and around these devices can be altered by the finish flat, satin or pebbled coarse. The placement required determines the finish ... | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat Color, finish and texture all three for sure. Add one more and that is material foursure.. Tom | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat With our mat the edges did not need to be painted ..Secondary edge treatment was dismissed because the design encompassed the entire CD. Tom | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat Couple of us at Starsound had our hand in the development of a CD cover mat several years back. Ours [I still have a couple for my own use] had a feature that no other brand attempted... repeatable top and edge cover all with the same device and t... | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable RickThanks so much for the suggestion and sale of neodymium magnets as replacements of fuses in the audio signal path of my sound system. Tom | |
| Upgrading Fuses LaceeI have been using magnets instead of fuses as suggested by Rick Schultz for the last 5 years. Rick and I shared some common experience in amp layout, speaker design, resonance control and core ideas for cables. Rick's turn on of magnets were ... | |
| Isolation pads for the speaker stands KizaNow remove all the sand and replace with reactive agents such as brass powder or steel bearings. Vibration will be attracted and drawn to these materials.Fill 25 to 30%.. The speaker needs to be terminated to the stand and the stand needs to b... |
