Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared
Fiddler, thanks for the info. I'm going to take a look at the Travertine tiles at my local Lowe's, although I'm a little concerned with the ability of the tiles to carry the weight of the speakers...especially in the grout line between the tiles. ...

Fiddler, would you please explain "pre-mounted Travertine on a non-resonant material". What exactly is it you purchased...and where? Later in your posts you mention Formica. This Formica material and the pre-mounted Travertine material are being u... 
should everyone just order emm?

Budrew, thanks for the info regarding the Neuance shelving. I was curious if the Neuance would completely replace the Salamander shelf. Is the cherry reddish or more natural in color? It doesn't look particularly red in the online color swatches. ...

Zybar and Driver, do you suspect the high end glare experienced with the rhodium XLR connectors is confined to Pulsar cables with these terminations, or does the glare issue cross over to RCA terminated cables, too?Others have commented that the t...

Thanks everyone for your input. It seems there are more Salamander Design users than I thought, and it's good to hear all points of view.Swampwalker, please educate me...what are "map isolation platforms"?

Anyone use Salamander Design racks? Comments?
What I like about the Salamander racks are the "cabinet" look, the adjustable shelves, and the availability of the mesh door for ventilation. I'm open to other suggestions. The feedback thus far has been less than enthusiastic. I'm glad I asked th...
