    Ok, but that takes a bunch depending upon room and trap size. I use 4-16", 4-12"

    Naturally, there are similar guidelines on the ASC website, but some might find their recommendations biased.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Perhaps it should. I was thinking more of intentionally massive isolation devices.

    The objective is to provide selective isolation at single digit frequencies. One can achieve results without moving the device outside the room.

    Nice to see that after all these years, little to nothing has changed :)

    hi, EYE
    been a while, i was recently thinking of you. SOME things have radically changed here, dontcha think?

    still got the nordost? isnt that what you had? nordost zipcord? i cheeeeeeped onto some kimber 8tc (15' for $50, still a valid cable according to tas).

    more on topic, i need to kill the echoes in my room. what cables do you recommend for that? JUST KIDDING. gotta get some stuff up on my expansive wall areas.

    and do you recommend laser eye surgery? i am damned tired of having to go get my glasses to read record jackets and instant food packages.
