| recommendation for turntable vibration damping Since you have access under the floor, you can support the area directly under your turntable by shoring up between joists and the earth.Believe it or not, cheap automotive scissor jacks work very well. Put a couple of cinder blocks or concrete pa... | |
| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Hello Martykl, thanks for the suggestions. Do you own the two solo E records ("A Man called E" and "Broken Toy Shop")? I believe that they are among the most perfectly realized pop albums I own. I also thought "Blinking Lights" was-by a very long ... | |

| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Your moniker seems to indicate that you work for Boulder Amp of Colorado. Is that correct? | |
| To cryo or not to cryo Chadnliz, regarding:I simply found it interesting that a Government organization such as NASA is in the business of letting the private sector use its equipment for personal business, and if he chose to use NASA as an endorsement which he did, as ... | |

| Little red gun next to turntable. Whart, wasn't that camera brush called a Staticmaster?I never used them, they scared me with the radioactive claim. Truth is the amount of radiation was probably no more than one of those old wrist watches that glow in the dark. | |
| My transport has "tuning dots" what are these? Based on my experience with the Marigo dots I would not put them on Eidolon's. The Eidolon is already a VERY well controlled speaker.I got positive results with the very large black Marigo's on Fosgate sub woofers (14" driver), but poor results on... | |
| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" Zaikes, I did not say Krell didn't measure the effect, I simply said they agreed there was a problem and fixed it. It does not matter that I didn't measure the effect, the change of blocking the light was enough of a problem that the manufacturer ... | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system Ozzy I agree people need to be protected, that's why that distributor has been banned from getting any additional Purist product. You would be surprised at just how many other big name lines that guy in Indonesia has been hacking into the US marke... | |
| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" Albert: You say Krell confirmed your finding that "overhead halogen lights, shining through the Plexiglas lid of their MD10 CD transport, affected the bit stream to the D-to-A converter." This implies that they actually found a change in the measu... | |

I respect both you and Lloyd so I assume by connection, you are throwing your support into very high quality pr... | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system Your statement is not true. I had a Purist Dominus that was made in Indonesia.That Dominus was either manufactured in Texas for sale in Indonesia, or was a counterfeit Dominus made in Indonesia. There are no (legal) manufacturing facilities for Pu... | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system Tonyptony, I think all Venustas are the same too. The statements I made are what I am sure of. I can call Purist tomorrow and find out if Venustas had any variations or not.As for comparisons between Kubala and Purist, I will leave that to those w... |
