Thanks for the quick turnaround everyone. I appreciate it. In the interests of full disclosure, I need to redo my foundation entirely and re-sister (as they already have been sistered) the joists. My dirt floor basement looks like a convention of drunken screwjacks, standing only because they're nailed to 2x4s. But there are none on the joists under the stereo. Might be time to shift some of the stereo fund to the house fund. I'm going to try the artgum idea and the screwjacks. GSM, I'm holding your solution in reserve.
I really appreciate the help and will report back.
