Just Turned 50...
57 and I also agree with Roxy54. Listening to Laurie Anderson right now and she still sounds fine.

No spikes. Now I understand the no added height. Thanks.

Post a pic in your system page for all to see.Great idea. I made some similar but mine were made with pot metal pieces. They were an experiment and never made to look nice...and they looked crappy. Very effective though. Shortly after I made mine ...

That is interesting. Copied it for future reference. 
How to "break-in" new speakers??
I too have purchased new speakers (Paradigms) and thought they were defective during the first listen. That being said, I agree with Philjolet's comment, "just listen and enjoy." You can learn a lot about your speakers during this process. 
Why aren't the older members still active ?
Frankly, I don't know how to give an honest answer when the discussion is whether BS argument A is better than BS argument B! One would have to eliminate the BS first to see the real answer. How can one do that????SpatialkingGreat post, the whole ... 
Need Mac Mini Server set up advice
Thanks Clio09. That helped a bunch. Although XLD was running, loading the CD and then selecting "open audio cd" got the GUI to show up. I had a cd in the machine from the start. That must've been the problem. It did not take as long as I expected ... 
Your Worst WAF Incident
With the money you have invested in your system, (nice BTW) I think your next upgrade/tweak is a new fridge. A solid investment in you sonic quest and probably the highest WAF tweak you'll ever do. 
Need Mac Mini Server set up advice
Might start a new thread for this but I downloaded the XLD suggested above and damned if I can get anything to happen with it. XLD.app was moved to applications and seems to be running but I never see the general GUI. What am I missing? 
Your Worst WAF Incident
Gotta say unplugging the fridge seems a bit overboard. 
CD-format to be abandoned by major labels by the e
Which way is that Timrhu?Tpreaves Dead.Of course I'm talking about the real world, not the world Audiophiles live in. 
CD-format to be abandoned by major labels by the e
Eventually CDs will go the way of vinyl, it's inevitable. But not by 2012, or even 2022. Well maybe by 2022 if things keep progressing at the rate they are now.FWIW, I prefer the sound of my cdp to my Mac Mini, but not by a lot. Also, I buy cds to... 
Collecting Within One Brand
For me it was Meadowlark Audio speakers. I never got around to the top end products from the company as we moved an my room got smaller instead of larger. At one point I had three pairs of the entry level Kestrels. 
Musical, Warm and Smooth bookshelfs under 500
I have the same reaction to bright sounding speakers. They drive me crazy. Although it's a generalization, avoid metal tweeters. You should definitely put the Polk Audio Lsi-7 on your list. Very musical little speakers that can be purchased as ref...
