spikes under a subwoofer ?
Have a look at this page: www.sonicdesign.se/sdfeet.htmlQuite interesting, and to my knowledge, you can exciteresonances in the floor even if it´s made of concrete!I have tested the SD-feet just in this case,(and at different places) and the impro... 
spikes under a subwoofer ?
You may want to decouple the sub from the floor,and get an even better result! Most people believe in old truth,without understanding too much about this complex matters.Vibration control is indeed a complex subject, but according to an inverstiga...

EMC-1 vs. Levinson 360s/Sony SCD-1
Well, the norwegian magazine Audio wrote that Electrocompaniet will probably sell a separate DAC,based onthe EMC-MkII.Another new interesting player is the Advantage S1 reviewed in the latest issue of that magazine.It recieved a very favorable rev... 
Interconnection cables, excellent finding.
Sorry,I think I may have calculated the price of the Silk II cables in a wrong way. (I deducted the Swedish VAT or sales tax , then divideded it with the current excange rate for dollars vs the swedish currency,but used an older price to begin wit... 
DVD A Sacd or Stay put for a while
After reading some negative postings here,concerning SACD,I feel that you think about what happens, if all of us think "I will wait and see what happens......". There is a concept called 1/n, where 1 stands for the individual,and n stands for all ...

Sorry,I was in a hurry when I wrote the response.More correctly: HDF stands for high density fibreboard, i.e.it is made from harder wood,with higher density.May I add, that good speakerbuilding takes place atthe crossroads between art and science,... 
ATC speakers, anyone heard of them?

What 's the different between MDF and HDF ?

Bi-amp with same sort of amp?
Reason for asking is that I have experienced different timing or pace in the same music, when listening to different amplifiers. E.g. I have a 100 w Class A amp which is somewhat slower in the lower register, than my home-built monoblocks, all are... 
Speaker Enclosures
