| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. My speakers are, LaScala's ll base bins 9.5' centered slightly towed in & 6'' of the rear wall, pointing just to the left of my seating. A Altec 311-60 sitting on top of a granite slab with a little more direction towards my ears, sitting 10' ... | |
| Tone Arm Lifter Another lil fwend user here. I'm have 1 for my GAE w/SME 309 arm, & the disco model for my EMT 948. Perfect fits. | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? I have 2 one for each channel, MK-70B’s dual 8" drivers (push/pull) that are super fast. You can go up the ladder for the larger cones, & resale would be no problem if they don’t match. YMMV I’m also limited for space & could have got a s... | |

| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? VH Pulsar, RCA's & Furutech a36, Speaker wire. The closest I came to a natural sound in my system. | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? Good Luck @elliottbnewcombjr ! Just scored a pair of Statement Silver Phono Cables, to go from my phono to my preamp. As I have them coming from my Table to the phono amp. | |

| Onkyo/Dirac The new software just blended all the low end into one big sub. | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? 2- Little Fwends Disco versions, only because they come in black, from my Daughter. On their way from the UK, should be here on Tues. | |
| Speaker Isolation tweaks ? I use under my LaScalas. The good thing is that their adjustable for uneven floors, plus they tighten up the base. Under my MK subs, I use what skeptikal suggested, the SVS SoundPath. Under my (8) other speakers, 3'' Maple from a well known fa... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? For what it’s worth, coming from Monoprice 12g wire with Nakamichi bananas, I went with the Viborg pure copper banana plugs on Furutech FS-A36 12g speaker cable. I tried one speaker with the Nakamichi & the other with the Viborg both treated w... | |
| Power cord Make your own & put the saved money to a better use. Furutech OCC copper & plugs. Just my $.02 | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue I have a Don Sachs preamp, & one day I got a bug up my ass & swapped from existing feet to Maple footers & made no significant sound change. I had a set of Panega's feet laying around & tried those, & instantaneously, the music... |
