How about those vibrapods under bookshelf speaker

KP, there are MANY reviews that aren't favorable and some that even slag the hell out of products. You just have to read audio rags that don't take advertisine. Try taking a look at Bound for Sound, International Audio Review, etc... Sean

Thank you, Sean, I just went to BFS's site and subscribed. Could not find site for the other mag.

I'm tired of the dribble on all these reviews:
'a giant killer'
'you'd have to spend five times as much'
'a bargain at 10 gazillion, but at 5 gazillion it's a steal'
'comparable to mega gazillion thingies'

right... So everyhting is a bargain, and everything is overpriced, if you follow this circular logic.

Does the audio press have ANY credibilty? They sound, almost universally, like pitchmen for the Home Shopping Network.

ah, I feel better, thank you.

KP, Bound For Sound is not like the other audio mags by any means. For one, it is a "labour of love" in that it is not owned or sponsored by any corporate entities. It is also just a "flyer" or "leaflet" type 'zine. No glossy covers or shiny pictures. The results are strictly subjective with little to no measurements done. However, Marty and the other guys WILL pan a product without fear of retribution. After all, they do not have to worry about losing advertising revenue, etc. Only thing is that this somewhat backs them into a corner in terms of manufacturers that are willing to loan them gear for review. Either way, i hope you like it and don't want to cuss me out once you get them. I highly enjoy getting them. That is, when they show up. Sean

I also read that article about the hockey pucks and decided to give a go. To my surprise, the hockey pucks worked under equipment and under speakers. Yes, I had spikes and decided to give this decoupler a try. Its a cheap tweek and really works. When you realize what the puck is made out of you say why didn't I think about using them early in my quest of tweeks. To the person who first tried this I say thank you.
