    Want better sounding speakers?.......Just try these...........

    Take two 17.5" by 17.5" ceramic floor tiles and put one under each speaker. The improvement I'm hearing in my system is... more 3-Dimensional.......tighter bass......better mids and highs....very nice improvement! My floor is carpeted , never have tried this on hard wood floors yet.

    My God. I think you get stupider with each post.

    Here's a novel idea for you:

    CARPET SPIKES

    They're the latest rage.

    No spikes for me, I use Mi-Rollers on top of these tiles. You can get these things cheap too $15.00 for a set of three Demo Brass Mi-Rollers, jrs. I told Rick Becker about these and here's the review.........OH, Rick tells us what he thinks about this "ceramic tiles tweak" in this review also........ http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazin.../mirollers.htm

    I got that all beat. My speakers have spikes with each tower sitting on a half inch slate tile. Each tile has a carpet scrap glued underneath (soft side down) so the carpet cushions between the tile and the hardwood floor. Underneath the floor are steel I-beams in a concrete foundation. The whole room then sits on the back of a hundred year old tortise. All I gotta say is this set up makes the new Bloodhound Gang record come alive. The stage prescence and depth of Jimmy Pop's vocals were unmatched. It's Grammy time!

    Maybe that's why your system sounds like crap?

    Because he's a shill & a troll, Pat. All he ever does is come here touting the latest voo-doo and snake-oil he found on some website. It's ridiculous. If he actually bought the crap he espouses, which I find extraordinarily hard to believe, he has invested more on "tweaks" than his actual white van speakers .

    I agree with trying to be civil, but there comes a point where shills and trolls have to be put in their place. If the mods won't do anything about it, it's open season!

    To everyone else, as tempting as it is, can we please stop feeding the trolls?

    I never know how to deal with this guy. Usually I just delete spam, but the threads that ensue from this particular person are usually pretty funny. The funniest part is his stereo, which makes me think he's just doing this for laughs. A Sony receiver and white van speakers with all those tweaks?? He's got to be fooling with us.

    I have been ignoring these threads lately. Is it OK if I go back to feeding the bears?
    Some funny stuff for sure.

    My tortoise is cryoed... but, he is also a bit of a bigot. You don't know stereo separation until you've heard your stereo on the back of a frozen bigoted turtle.

    I noticed they sell 'cryo' treated golf balls (I'm guessing they couldn't fit frisbees in the tank). Aren't these guys a research division of Bose?

    I wonder if they 'cryo treated' my socks if I wouldn't have to wash them as much.

    You have to wash socks? Oh man! I've been doing it wrong. I just throw mine in the hamper. A few days later they always show up back in my dresser all clean and folded.

    Hey, that Sony str-v5 receiver is one of the best sounding in its day and can hold its own with good gear made today too! And those SDAT speakers sound damn good let me tell you! Go head and have your FUN.....all these tweaks that I'm REALLY USING and REALLY OWN, really do work! If some of you would just quick running off at the mouth and really try some of these tweaks you too would see that they really work........HAVE A NICE DAY........

    My bet it that this guy is a regular posting under this name to make us laugh.

    To be clear, I'm not trying to bash your stereo. I love vintage gear, i have tons of it. Don't know anything about the "SDAT" speakers.

    If you're actually a serious person and not just pulling our chain (which you are doing a great job of) what we're saying is maybe you should quit wasting money on silly tweaks and put that cash to actual gear upgrades.

    When I first got into audio I fell for this stuff. I didn't have much money to spend so I bought all these silly little tweaks because they weren't too much money. I rarely heard anything. What a waste. Just save your money and upgrade things that matter: Speakers, Amp, Source.

    OK, that will be my only serious post because I still can't tell if you are serious or not.
