Description

I've been a beginner for a year now and I think my system is complete (maybe). If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to write. I also ran a power line from the breaker to my room in conjuction with a hubell receptical, hospital grade. All componets are placed on maple, hard wood stands 3"in. (see picture) Thank you to all Stereophile guys for all your help and suggestions for last year! Good luck and happy listening!

Why not block the air holes?

Are you serious?

Because you don't want to overheat your peramp and ruin it.

Heck it may even catch fire and burn your house down.

Is that reason enough for you?

WARNING: Do not block off air holes on top of tube pre-amp!

I had more than just my eyes look at your set-up. Everyone thinks you have blocked off the air holes - very bad.

I trust you will take the steps to fix this ASAP.

That wood blocking the center stage, it has to reflect sound like a TV would. This cannot be good for the center stage. I don't understand why it's there.

It may give me cause to experiment myself, although a wool blanket on the wall still works as well as anything I've tried.
