... it was mostly the latter for me! I've gone cold turkey for the last four or five days visiting my Mom and pigging out on home cookin' instead of dB's. Just got in a quad of Herbie's tube dampers to try on the Foreplay and Paramours. I used to be really into vibration control of my SS electronics in the not too distant past but gradually gave it up due to the new fun of tweaking tube gear and DIY loudspeakers. Used to have concrete racks, inflated hemmoroid pillows, sand boxes and slabs of marble, cones, squishy things, string and spring suspension and stuff all over the walls and ceiling. - Sounded great, BTW! But then came marriage #2 and down came the decorations and the concrete went back into the shed. I still have one sand box and one whoopee cushion and a few slabs o' marble (pretty stuff). But the last tweak was to put a few of the old tweaks back in with the new tube gear and hints of the old magic returned. I may be in for a round of vibration control play in the near future.
Wayne, Please keep us posted on the tube cross over design. One is going to be needed around here in the near future.Happy Holidays, Guys and Gals (if applicable)!
