Back in the day, Rick made "pucks" to place under our equipment and called them "Rizers". Some were solid and used to lift the equipment up to allow better airflow, others were filled with sorbothane to help absorb shock under equipment. They came in a couple of thickness' or height. I have many rizers and they are under most of my equipment. They are the silver pucks under my 275's and under the Cinema Grand in the pics.

I'm going to be working my way through this list along with my daily dose. https://www.discogs.com/digs/music/essential-jazz-fusion-records/

Those are nice!!! I do something similar using black ABS 1.5" pipe. Using my chop saw, I cut the height I'm trying to achieve, and use that as a spacer. I place the stock Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers from Carver in the center so they can't slide out, and put a layer of felt on the contact cut-end. I need to get a picture - and may have posted one a while back (years). My goal with this approach is to get the same aesthetically pleasing distance between the front faceplates of my Carver pieces. It always bugged me that the stock button feet from Carver varied so much, as also did the lip-distance (overhang and underhang) of the faceplate above and below the chassis.

I was at Walmart when I got a taste of this although it was an instrumental version... Step into your last goodbye... Alice Cooper Desperado

If you run across Alice Cooper's autobiography, Me, Alice, buy it without hesitation. There was only one printing that I'm aware of, and even a tattered copy can fetch $500 or more on ebay. An autographed copy with the jacket can fetch $3K or more. I have a perfect copy with the jacket (no autograph) that my brother bought for $3 at a used book store.

That was the first record album I ever had. Still have it. Got it when I was 9 years old and my uncle Alan (my role model of sorts, being only 10 years older than me) was a big Alice Cooper fan.... So, of course, I became an Alice Cooper fan, too. Uncle Al had this poster prominently displayed.... made quite the impression on 9 year old me, lol.

I have the Return to Forever, Weather Report, Jaco Pastorius and Stanley Clarke. All very good. Thanks for the list - I need to check out the others.

AHA Take On Me

Now if we could only get the Ripps to tour.

They're going to be in Kansas City on July 31.

Reminds me of Eddie Van Halen's personal recording studio. He had the entire floor raised on hockey pucks. Now that's decoupling!

Hi Rick, Good to get back in touch. I still have the two M-500t's I bought from you with the blue lights. How are things in Washington? Very few of us original Carver site folks left. Sad but true. Later, Skip "Sashquach"

WELCOME BACK @RickO(Mr. M-500t)! Been here since Feb. of 2009...does that count as an old timer?

This came up on SiriusXM this morning; I just about hear this whenever I climb on the bike for a spin

Alan Parson has redone "Tales of mystery and imagination", "I robot", "Pyramids" and is just about to release "Eye in the Sky" - All in BluRay Audio Atmos..
