Dark Grey convuluted foam

Members with No Feedback
This past year I have completed several transactions with new members with little or no feedback. I have been pleasantly surprised as they have all worked out flawlessly. That being said, when buying it does make me a little nervous dealing with a...

Interesting question whether or not granite or any other stone is suitable for audio equipment installations. When I rap my knuckles against our 1.25 inch thick granite counter tops it sure seems inert to me. I don't have any evidenct to back it u...
