Equipment Rack
Good People:I came across a fine piece of scholarly work from  an old Stereophile Magazine regarding the numbers of techniques for vibration control. Check this out. It is scholarly yet written for the layman to understand. I think it may give und... 
Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ?
My wife and I go to Stereo  Unlimited in San Diego to listen to the sevens with the Vandy amps. Wow! Best in his store and that covers a lot of very high end equipment. His display pair is in what I believe is Ferrari red. Gorgeous. I know his sta... 
Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak?
Plus you get to spend time in the narrow confines under the house, where, I assure you, no one is going to come and bug you.  
Now it's subs
I strongly suggest you investigate Vandersteen 2WQ powered sub. It is unique in the way it blends with your speakers. I find it perfect with my B&W 684's Can't tell where one drops off and the other begins, and you can feel the vibrations down...

Tinnitus remedy?
My Neurologist suggested some get relief from taking citrus bioflavins. The capsules are readily available in health food stores/groceries. I have been taking 2 a day for about 3 weeks with no discernible result, however.  Of course, avoid loud so... 
How to cut sorbothane?
As I understand it, different durometers of Sorbothane absorb different frequencies. Anyone ever stack different durometers on each other to create a more universal frequency absorbing pad? 
Isolation Platforms under Line / Power Conditioners ..any thoughts ?
I have found the judicious use of Sorbothane pads and cone an excellent, very inexpensive way to damp and eliminate vibration. A 1 ft by 1 foot Pad can be custom cut to add to or replace the feet on any equipment you use. Look at sorbothane's webs... 
Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components
Sorbothane cones, or a slab of it you cut to fit, work for all my vibration issues. Google sorbothane to read about it. I got a 1/4 inch by 12 x 12 piece for about $30.00 and cut it to fit as support for all my components. My turntable would skip ...
