Vibration Isolators
You cannot isolate vibration. It's everywhere. The music, itself; vibrations in the air. Sound is vibration. It's ok. Let it vibrate and send the resonances to the floor. I do not understand the hoopla with these vibropads. Man, I hate to leave.. ... 
Anything that is like Norah Jones?
Peroux and Holiday: took the words right out of my mouth. 
Custom Rack Stand
They are outside your budget for a reason. $300 will not buy you anything that you'll be happy with. Enjoy your stuff and save just a little more. You will be able to purchase a brand new rack support system, (two level) for around $600 that'll do... 
Which upgrade should be my priority?
I, too, resoundly agreee with Natalie. I like the roof analogy he used. Stands were mentioned, and I know, from experience, and the science of resonance transference, how critical the stands are. Infact, they are as important as any of the other c... 
I don't understand Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue"
These are great posts about "Kind of Blue." It is ground breaking, beautiful, user friendly, jazz. Don't worry if you don't like it. Just keep plugging away at jazz, keep it on your shelf, and low and behold, one day it'll hit you. Jazz is kind of... 
Here, there a Chick, Where else a Chick Corea ?
"Now He Sings, Now He Sobs" Beautiful. I love this recording. 
Electronics don't matter, Part III
And I was going to buy a new YBA Passion Integre. I just may start a bidding war for that Pioneer of yours. 
Power Conditioners: Myth, Magic, or Necessary
I was very happy with my audio system. Balanced, beautiful sound, the whole deal. Then I purchased an Audio Magic Stealth Power Purifier. Why? Because it was there, and I read a lot of good press. Now I am even happier. I'm always happy with my so... 
The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's
When you're ready Imin2u, put it our there: What speakers you could buy for an upgrade. Figure the DQ 10s are worth, maybe $350-$400. You definitely won't find anything "lush" for that price. I don't know what you have listened to, but I would ser... 
The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's
I owned the DQ 10's years ago. They worked beautifully with my, at the time, Bryston 4B. Go with a subwoofer, though. (I did ) You'll be very happy. I find it hard to believe that you haven't heard something you like better than the DQ 10s. They w... 
Should Class A Amps be left on??
Yes! You heard right... 
Electrical outlet upgrade worth it?
Hey, it's only $12 at Home Depot. That's for a hospital grade outlet. If you want to go for a fancey shmancey outlet for $50, coated, frozen, baked and touched with only gloved hands: go for it. The $12 one will give you a tight connection. That's... 
The Best Amplifier Ever ?
Remember guys, Paul Bolin is just a guy. No devine powers from above. He's entitled to his opinion. That Halcro picture on the cover, with all those superlatives, sure sells magazines. "Best?"-give me a break.. It's only the power we give "the bes... 
Wire vs. Vibration vs. Power Cond. is best?
Does it really matter to an audiophool which affects their music the most? The fact that eacg one does, requires serious attention. These three things are all significant to an audiophool, like myself. I place equal importance on all of them. It's... 
The Best Amplifier Ever ?
Maybe the "present best amp" is the more realistic way to go. The best ever is temporary, at BEST. I don't know about you guys, but my Lafayette receiver, still, after all these years, is a contender.
