| System psychology, or just psyched out? Maybe it is the law of first impressions. The first system that blew me away was a Klipschhorn and Mac electronics, in a mono system. It is like a first love, you never get over it. So, years pass and I've had many systems, including the K's and t... | |
| Would you get ASC Tube Traps or RealTraps Neither! Some nice closeout carpet pieces, rolled up of course, would do the job. Most likely you could return them if they don't work. Size? At least six feet wide (gives you six feet high,) but depending on your lay out, you could go all the way... | |

| A bad situation go after ups for a damage claim. i've been told that shipping damage claims help if you put a notice on the outside of the box "electronic device, useless is dropped".If ups takes the package with the warning and 99% of the times they do, its then... | |
