Best furniture to act as bass trap
Based on what Erik stated, a leather couch may be a better bass trap.  The harder leather surface may act more as a "membrane" -- this is typically used in bass traps as a more effective way of absorbing lower frequencies and at the same time refl... 
Are You Sorbothane Experienced?
Just discovered something important, in case you are really looking at sorbothane.  I looked up my order history and found out I got the 50 duro sorbothane feet.  They are only 1" domes:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00516DGIG/ref=oh_aui_detai...

I guess I am the one who has mixed results from Fidelizer.  I think on my laptop, it seemed to improve things.  However, on my desktop, it decreased the overall sound quality and naturalness of the audio.  It seemed to change from hi-fi to lo-fi. ... 
How many shipments can audio equipment survive?
Agreed.  If you use the proper packaging for the item and it's still in good shape, the number of shipments won't really matter.  The concern over time is from the packaging material breaking down (i.e. cardboard deteriorating).  Or risks such as ... 
Used Preamp on a budget advice please.
Hi dastro. A couple thoughts. You did emphasize that you wanted a "warmer" type sound. The term "warm" does not always mean resolution. If you want more resolution, you might have to sacrifice some warmth because the higher resolution character ma... 
Importance of quality of coax cable feeding a DIP
@audiolover718 - That's really interesting, thanks.  I'm currently running a Blue Jean Beldon 1694A for my digital coax.  I'm really curious how the Beldon would compare to the D-750.  The Beldon is basic typical RG6 solid-core copper coax.  Nothi...

Heh, everyone is different. I use JRiver from a Windows 7 PC. I have used the JRemote app from my ipad and it works well. JRiver also works excellent as a DLNA server. I have streamed my files down to both a Sony Bluray and an Oppo bluray playing ... 
Importance of quality of coax cable feeding a DIP
@audiolover718 - have you thought about trying a AES/EBU cable between the DIP and the ARC DAC 8?  I know you got the D-750 because it had a true BNC connector.  Just curious.  I think you're next priority is to replace the first-stage Silver Serp... 
Importance of quality of coax cable feeding a DIP
heh, sorry.  I know audiolover's posts from another thread.  We are references his Monarchy Audio Digital Interface Processor 24/96. http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/339/#Yq5HtyDOpTWBzUVf.97 It's a coax digital re-clocker. 
Importance of quality of coax cable feeding a DIP
Just recently, I think I have determined that silver-plated conductors for digital cable is actually the better way to go. (at the same time, I still think that silver should be avoided for interconnects and power cable). This was from comparing a... 
Are You Sorbothane Experienced?
That link was just an example.  See this:https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=sorbothane+feet&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Asorbothane+feet They do have a variety of different sizes and durometer values for so...

Can anyone identify these speakers?
Guessing it’s a passive radiator in the middle with a woofer at the bottom? Doesn’t make sense, though. http://www.oaktreevintage.com/web_photos/Speaker_Parts/BIC_Formula-5_Stereo_Speakers_parts_web.jpg Design definitely reminds me of those Bic Ve... 
Are You Sorbothane Experienced?
oh, another thing to note is that sorbothane is available in multiple durometers.  A softness of 30A, for example, is so soft that it sticks to the surface and can mis-shape very easily.  Using a higher 40A or 50A will help with deformaties, but i... 
Are You Sorbothane Experienced?
I have used 1/2" sorbothane feet in addition to a layer of dynamat on the bottom of an external preamp power supply.  The power supply was getting resonance interference from vibrations of my studio monitors and causing electrical resonance on cer...
