| "Best" cable elevators? Tireguy is right on the money. They work great. If you need to support multiple cables try a 6"x12"x1/2" wood platform with two 3/4"x3/4"x6" wood extensions attached to the ends of the platform. Tie cotton string between the two poles and use that... | |
| rubber feet for B&W DM305 speakers? I agree with Timo. SPIKE IT! John | |
| What are the best DIY cables you've heard? Hey Lugnut that is a great recipe. But for this one credit goes to Chris Venhaus www.venhaus1.com use 1/4" teflon tube instead of the icemaker tube, pack it with cotton and use 32awg silver wire and spiral both wires down the tube instead of one d... | |
| Isolated Ground Wiring question......? Greetings Billy, It sounds like you got x3w/ground instead of x2w/ground. Substitute the awg for the "x". You have the white and black correct but the bare copper wire is usually used for ground. In this case you can use the bare copper for the gr... | |
| What's you opinion? I agree with Foreverhifi2000 set up is EVERYTHING when it comes to a sub. Must use a spl meter with test tones at the minimum. I have a Velodyne F1800RII that I have modified and I couldn't live without it. In my opinion what makes a sub sound goo... | |
| Tweaks; do they work? Ok, sprayed is the past tense of spray. One would spray the Endust on the mat, if so inclined. Happy Listening! John | |

| link between speaker and floor You can still use your spikes, just put some pucks under them. Audiogon member esoler makes some stainless or brass pucks for about $5 ea. I have found they even improve the sound. Cheers! John | |
| Cleaning agents? Ohlala is right. Audioquest is a good cleaner. You might want to follow with TC-2 contact enhancer by Torumat. Also try TPC wipes from Roger Skoff of XLO co. It is a cleaner/contact enhancer in one. They are individually sealed and go for a buck a... | |
| Do isolation devices really help? If you use the right ones they can really transform a system. They have different sounds so you have to determine which one will be right for you and your system. Remember there is airborne vibration and floorborne vibration and resonant frequenci... | |
| Vibration Isolators Vibration isolaters come in a variety of sizes, shapes and materials. They will all change the sound. If it is better or not can only be judged by you. I only have experience with mid level cones and less expensive rubber footers, sorbothane, etc.... | |
| Re-wired to 30 amps? It is a very good idea to go to a 30amp circuit. You will notice a big improvement. If you do go to a 30amp breaker, you must use 10awg wire! Either that or you better get more fire insurance. I have installed 10awg on a 20amp breaker and was trip... | |
| Speaker Cable Feet: Suggestions? Fiddler- Good job! John | |
| Holy SnickerDoodles Read This Thank you Alan and Hdm. Alan I will try one of your outlets as recommended by Hdm in a private E-mail he sent me. Happy Listening! John | |
| Holy SnickerDoodles Read This Hdm, Thank you very much. I searched some prior threads and found some interesting stuff. Aparently, Alan used to work for Jena. I'm not sure if I want to get mixed up in the politics. I do have one Jena Labs outlet but I need two more as I have t... |
