Description

I've tried to stay with as few different brands as possible for synergy.

After installing the real traps I was amazed by the difference I recommend the real traps very highly!

I'm still waiting for VTL to finish their new phono stage.

Jfrech,

Well the rectangle was just me seeing if I wanted to move my rack up a few feet.

I was using the blue painters tape as a DO NOT CROSS line for the carpet cleaners.

I'm posting a new photo with the traps in place. It also shows the VTL TP6.5 an amazing Phono stage!

System edited: I just added the Real Traps and it made a huge difference. If your on the fence to add base traps do your self a favor and add them. I've been asked by other audiophiles where am I hiding the sub now.

Bigamp:

When I was at CES two years ago when the MB-450's II came out I knew I wanted them. My dealer shortly got them in and had them hooked up to WP8's and I knew they were for me.

I haven't had a chance to compare to other tube amps however I've very happy.

Shadorne:

The WP8's don't have the punch I would like so I'm thinking about adding a sub.
I contacted ASC a while ago and have been looking at different options.
