It was before you joined. The gently ribbing was because he refused to tell us why, but we should let it go otherwise he might get upset again :mrgreen:

Please take note of the following points if you have a hi-fi set at home.
1) The hi-fi system generates a lot of Yang energy. Avoid placing it in a Yin sector.

2) Make a fireplace the focus of the living room. For example, if you can keep your TV to one side and minimize the effect of hi-fi.

3) Yin energy is important in bedrooms as it encourages rest and relaxation. Avoid placing the hi-fi system in your rooms.

4) In Fengshui, the location of a Hi-fi system is a place of activity. We can place a clock above it to “cool” the space down.

5) The hi-fi system falls under the metal element, and the best sectors to place them are either in the West or Northwest direction.

6) Place a hi-fi system at the west wall, helps to bring luck to your family.

7) Always keep your hi-fi system and its surrounding clean and tidy.

8) Repair your hi-fi set when it is faulty.

9) Keep the volume of your hi-fi system at a suitable level.

10) Never place a hi-fi set near your fish tank.

Make sure you don't leave the toilet seat up as all your music as well as your money will go down it.

Proper original traditional Feng Shui is largely a Chinese (Confucian) way of explaining common sense in energetic terms, modern(ish) Feng Shui is money making bullshit.

Hi Shane,
How are the Cubettes working for you in that set up, any chance to have a proper listen yet?
Curious as I have a pair on order and they will be parked on a computer desk initially, until I get the living room in order and source a pair of stands.
How are mine coming along Doc? I know, I know, need to be patient but I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.. :epop:

I lost a week to a lung bug. I hope to start on them next week. I will be stopping making them when current bits are used up as they require too much work time relative to price. That is why I wanted someone else to build them, but it didn't work out.
