| On the draining of resonance..... I think part of the reason some people say a 4" wood block sounds better than a 2" thick wood block is because the greater mass as a part of the equipment-spike-block system resists being affected by external vibration to a greater degree than the... | |
| Arcam A49 Integrated The current issue of Absolute Sound has a short review of the A49 that is quite positive. | |
