How it works: 1. Have child. 2. Wait until the child is old enough to experience Rumspringa. 3. Have the child setup the website during Rumspringa. 4. Wild child processes orders. 5. If child decides to return to the fold, child notifies customers of potential serious delays in shipment. 6. Wait for next child to Rumspringa.

ShawnC Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 @The Computer Audiophile, If you are considering some wood type of amp stand, I may be able to help you. On the side I work for a friend's wood shop when needed. It's essentially a glueing shop, creating panels for kitchens and flooring for staircases. Just a one man operation with occasional help from yours truly. He has done several butcher top tables for home use, restaurants and bars. So creating or imitating something from some of the sites that have been mentioned is no problem. If interested PM me. As you know I'm local and his shop is in Little Canada by Dock 86. BTW the prices on the Butcher Block Acoustics website are well priced. Oh yeah, if your looking for cable risers we have those too, we call it firewood and burn barrels of it every week.

I had a local welding company construct speaker stands for me out of 5/32" steel plate and schedule 80 steel pipe. I filled the pipe with sand and lead shot and glued speaker damping sheets to the plate. I put marble slabs under the speakers. They sounded like ass, the steel was ringing like crazy. I put Svelte Symposium shelves under the marble and the sound was transformed, the steely sound totally gone. We recently redid the media room and I lost the ugly speaker stands as a WAF concession. I have the speakers mounted on large, heavy wooden chests. The chests are made of hardwood and steel, mounted on casters, speakers on marble slabs. They're really a lot nicer looking than the description. ? Of course I could hear the wood resonating in the speaker sound. I removed the marble and put Svelte Symposium shelves under the speakers. Again, a complete transformation. My audiophile buddies were amazed. One bought a pair for himself.

I like old websites as I can find what I want within 15 seconds. If I cannot find what I want I go away and do not come back. The new website design preference with overly large scrolling panels is horrific. Particularly ones that do not put drop down menus at the top.

Dr Tone Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I vote for the Wilsons. The new silk dome tweeter is nice. My ears are slightly damaged and they don't get along with the Beryllium tweeter anymore.

audiobomber Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The Cygnus make the others look like ugly ducklings. 😉 Chris, were you able to hear all of these in shops? Did you listen to others that didn't make the cut? Sorry, I'm living vicariously through you. I'll likely never hear any of these, let alone own a pair.

The Cygnus craftsmanship is incredible as well. I've heard them all but will spend considerable time with some Rockport speakers in the coming weeks, in a controlled environment. If I could sell my TADs I'd likely have a tough decision to make. Ah, first world problems. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
