Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism
I have the IsoAcoustics Gaia's.They work great and I don't really care why. What I am more curious about is the "how and why" of products like high end fuses.    
What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean?
I use my cat. He spends most of the day sleeping, so I thought he should contribute something to our relationship. He is a domestic short hair (tuxedo cat), but I don't think it matters.  
Power Cord for DAC
"Looking for good tone and timbre and a slightly dark sound."  
Ridiculous sale
If the OP thinks that this is a problem, he should realize that people are free to buy or not buy whatever they want at whatever price they are willing to pay. If someone is stupid or rich enough to pay a 73% surcharge in order to skip the cue, t... 
Concerning high end audio names in new cars
Question: How does anyone achieve good sound in the glass bowl of a car's interior? Answer: They don't. It is 100% a marketing ploy.  
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
1. Rap 2. Hip Hop 3. Perhaps 80% of music released after 1980. What am I missing?  
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
@mulveling  "Yes, it is a prevalent pattern to get to see folks rolling rare vintage tubes into cheap chi-fi or even cheap Schiit amps, especially headphone gear. ....... On the upside you can buy their tubes after they move onto the next flavor ... 
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
@oddiofyl  "Maybe if people didn’t buy $200 headphone amps and burn up rare tubes for mediocre sound we wouldn’t have this problem" I believe Marie Antoinette was of the same opinion when she said......  "Let them eat cake." This sort of arrog...

@music_is_life  I must agree with @ketchup . I had no idea what your original post meant until there were subsequent posts to help decipher it.  
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
I am one of those DBA devotees and I feel that a distributed bass array, by its very nature, mitigates a lot of the difficulties inherent in single subwoofer integration. Unlike single sub placement, it is almost impossible to screw up a DBA.  
SVS sub owners, Past and Present
I have the SVS SB2000 as well and it has not done one thing to disappoint me. I am beginning to suspect it's cheating on me.  
Cable curmudgeon
Well, it looks like you know everything already, so there's nothing much to say. Have a great day.  
How accurate are cable descriptions for your system?
I look at it as just another opinion. For a lot of components there are multiple reviews and when an opinion is asked on this forum, everybody and his dog has a different recommendation as what is the "best". Add them all together and if you don... 
Lose weight or buy better fitting pants
@jpwarren58  No offense, but your idea sounds a lot like the things I dream up after too much of something combustable. Rock on dude.  
Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy
I would never be anything but sad that a company and its employees would lose their jobs, but I would also never consider Onkyo as anything but a minor purveyor of low quality components. So I am very sorry for the company and its employees, but t...
