Audiophile Tool Bingo


I was thinking about how many tools (i.e. gadgets) I have to set up my stereo properly.  Maybe we should make an audiophile Bingo game out of the number of these you have!

  • Measuring tape
  • Voltage meters
  • Levels
  • Laser levels
  • Measurement microphones
  • Measurement software
  • LP washer

If I give myself 1 point for each, then I score 10.  What's your score??

You can add tools, but no tweaks! That is, the tool has to help you set up, it's not something you leave in place, so the following do not count:

  • Cable lifters
  • Contact enhancers
  • Acoustic panels
  • Power conditioners
  • Interconnects and electronics
  • Vibration controlling devices of any sort

Fun thread @erik_squires 

Did anyone else mention a level? Every time I get new or change speaker locations, it’s the first thing I reach for.
