Y'all know I am ruminating on giving her the MP-7 and buying myself an Insight, right? Seems unfair to take the MP-7 now. It's not like she's gonna try to talk me out of this. It's a dangerous relationship in this regard.

Joe, let’s get creative here! There’s five of them, so let’s take it a little further. Each one gets to be a member of Radiohead, and they have to position themselves in the room based on soundstage, then they have to recreate Paranoid Android.

These are my speaker stands for my office, so I feel your pain!

it does make the Fluance look like a Star Wars droid.

Y’all confound me. I get told my bespoke isolation solution looks great, @nolalady ’s gets called a Star Wars droid.

Yeah marble squares and iso pucks under the butchers block chopping board/worksurface isn’t quite the same as a couple of leftover bits of polystyrene from a packaging box!
