My Apologies to Miller Carbon

You suggested I leave my solid state components on all the time in spite of the trickle charge when off. Today after almost 2 weeks I heard better more solid lows, more air between the instruments, less hash, etc. Miller Carbon also introduced me to the Schumann Generators (2) which I also find helpful. I have very heavy Vandersteen speakers and am deliberating those suggested springs. Thanks MC

Good question. A long time ago, I found out that adding weight to the top of speakers is like adding mass to them. On top of each speaker is one thick, heavy granite platform that perfectly fits the top of the speaker, and then, in addition, a few lead fishing weights that are used for ocean bottom fishing in deep waters. The result is more clarity to the sound from top to bottom.

And the tweakers and tinkerers allow for those brilliant designs to be appreciated all the more.
HiFi jewelry. No different than tattoos.

Did the same as you Frank, only I used a BDR Shelf on top of my Moabs. The combination of the Shelf on top with the speaker on Podiums (and everything else ;) really kicks em up a notch. Mahgister does the same too of course. Only he clamps his with springs between the weight and the speaker. What I really want now is some mass damping like the things they use in skyscrapers to control resonance.
