iron audio mat

Judy,lighten up!There are times when we can gain further insight,into a related subject,when the topic sways a bit.There are always those who will answer queries in a straight forward manner,but Raul is ALWAYS well intended,and sometimes brings a differing viewpoint that may be considered, by some open minded music lovers,which I'm sure you truly are. We may not always agree,but often,things are learned.That's a good thing,to me.Best regards!

The Iron Audio mat is made of acrylic, and it is indeed still being made, at least according to the Iron Audio website (http://www.ironaudio.com/). I have had no experience with it, but several months back I read what I remember as conflicting reviews of it--not surprising, as any tweak is going to have variable effects depending upon the system it's put into.

Do you still remember where you saw the reviews or have the link to it. Thanks

No, sorry, I don't remember, except that the reviews (some of them more in the nature of casual remarks than reviews) were on the web and that I found them by googling around.

are these threads not for the free-flowing and open exchange of ideas? it has always perplexed and intrigued me how this process so agitates some. i believe audiogon already moderates the threads. perhaps they are hiring--i cannot say.

that said, the age-old advice of stopping, breathing deeply and counting to ten really does work to derail rigid, judgemental, reactive thinking. that, and listening to some ben harper with a hot cup 'o decaf....
