    My sister said "if you have boys I hope they turn out like you". I don't talk to her anymore:D
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I have a set of the Sorbothane under the TT rig. Here's a pic.
    DCAM0424.jpg
    With the other 44 I have, I can stack all unused gear in the closet and out of harm's way without fear of ever scratching any of the components. In the rig, I have them under everything that gets hot like amps and power supplies and since I have a dual speaker'd stereo system, I have them in between both sets of speakers, allowing me to tilt the bookshelves down to the sweet spot.

    I also have a set in the bedroom under the sat. box and TV because they sit high upon a dresser and the remote won't work without them installed because the beam has to hit the components near or at the bottom of each component.

    They are cheaper than dirt and one of my favorite purchases of last year. I'd swear they added 50 horsepower to my rig.:rolleyes: Really, they are effective and improve the overall look of your rig, kinda' giving the visual illusion of having a more "muscle" in your rig.

    Back when I had my M-500t in an enclosed cabinet, I was able to reduce the operating temperature of the amp by 8 degrees just by adding the 5/8" risers.

    While these are absolutely fantastic, and I need to order some, I've found in a pinch to get by you can go to Hobby Lobby, buy 2" wooden toy wheels, paint them black, glue as many together as you need, then cut some sticky backed foam mat to glue on each end. Not the prettiest, but it will get you by!

    Thanks,

    Michael

    Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
    Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
    Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)

    Hey Tom,
    I have lots of matte silver and about 10 sets of the matte black left for now.
    I suppose I could always spray paint the matte silvers black when I run out of the anodized black.
