Greetings to you as well and welcome! Technology sure keeps changing and we’re fortunate to benefit from it, especially in the pocketbook. Are you a diyer like some of the guys here? What is your system currently and how has it morphed over the years?

I do not do electronics DIY stuff, for the most part, outside of reterminating a power cord or dividing up and reterminating some speaker cables. I have built some good vibration absorbing platforms for electronics and speakers. They're similar in nature to Symposium brand, except they're better, uglier and cheaper. I've only made them for myself and a close audiophile friend, as they're tedious to make. An old friend, Bob Crump (he tried a couple and liked them also), suggested I make them to sell, but, like I said, they're not very pretty. I don't have the hardware to finish them off for public consumption.
