| Home made cable lifters. Slipknot, yes I`ll be dealing with, I assume, artificial fibered carpet over concrete. I think the best set up would be porcelain insulators boosted on 4" blocks for height. Now then, if I can only find some old insulators.... | |
| Home made cable lifters. Great suggestions all. Thorman, I live in the Akron area and I`ll check local shops for old insulators. If I come up empty, there are other suggestions I`ll try. Thanks everybody! | |

| Home made cable lifters. Thanks Herman and Peter for your input. Is it true that ceramic devices make the best isolators? I think I read that somewhere. It seems that the sets that I`ve found so far on the market are $100+ for a set of 8. I`d like to put that money toward... | |
| Cones for amp stands.... Update...I ended up buying two maple amp stands from Chris at Timbernation. One for int. amp, second for cdp. Beautifully made. They do the trick and are reasonably priced. Highly recommended. | |
| TWO CHANNEL AMP DECISION FINALLY MADE I don`t know its dimensions and I don`t think it has remote capability but if it were me, I`d get a good used Audible Illusions mod.3 to partner with the Belles in particular. $600-$700 used.I know that that would make a terrific pre/amp combo. | |

| Cones for amp stands.... Audiofeil, yes, I`ve seen their nice products but they`re stuff is beyond my budget for now. I`ll certainly keep them in mind for a future upgrade. | |

| Cables for Merlin VSM-MXe speakers I have the new tsm mme`s and am having terrific results with Gregg Straley`s Reality cables. Less than $500 for a pair of his sp. cables and ic`s combined. They`re made of seven strand, oxygen free copper which the merlins like. | |
