New Wolf Von Langa SON Owner!
I am the new owner of a pair of Wolf Von Langa SONs which I bought from Gestalt Audio at AXPONA last week. I am just in the process of dialing them in with Colin in my small listening space of approx. 11' X 11'.
The Power Supply Unit for the speakers does not come with a cord, and I am currently using the stock cord that came with my Audio Research I 50 amp. How important is having a high quality power cord on the PSU?
I was surprised to hear the difference in sound using the small rubber pucks that came with the speaker. Has anyone used IsoAcoustic footers on their SONs? Colin recommends them as a step up from the pucks.
I am currently using Masterbuilt Performance Line speaker cables. I sounds like there is real synergy with the Hijiri cables and the SONs. Comments?
Thanks
Congratulations on a great speaker purchase. Consider the Townshend Platforms which are my personal preference. They are tuned for the mass of your speaker. Your power supply drives your field coil and may not benefit much from an upgraded power cord, depending on how much reserve energy is stored in the power supply. It only puts out a few watts per speaker. But I never take any chances. I focus on the gauge of the power cable more than the claims of the maker. I'd go with a 12 awg cord. Jerry

The floor doesn't matter with spring mounts because the springs isolate the speaker from the floor. I currently have my speakers located with the front feet on the carpet and the back feet on the hardwood. Townshend had about a 3" diameter pad that sits on the floor. Very floor friendly for any type of surface. Jerry |
Congrats on your new speakers I heard them at CAF and they are fantastic sounding speakers I really love field coils! It sounds like Colin would be the person to task about a power cord for the power supply he seems like a standup guy and great ears obviously. Also please post a virtual system so we can ogle your new speakers! |
Congratulations on the SONs! I bought the ones the Colin brought to Capitol AudioFest and love them. I have mine on LiveVibe Rhythm Jr Advantage platforms. The improvement over the pucks or just on the floor is night and day. Bass is solid and clean and highs are crystal clear. I didn’t compare to the Gaias or Townshend stands but the LiveVibe stands are incredible. OCD Audiophile Mikey has done several videos on the LiveVibe stands and a comparison with Townshend platforms and he definitely prefers the LiveVibes. The Rhythm stands fit nicely under the Soms. I have update my system with pics but will share them if you are interested. |
@wlp3 I have Advantage 4 with 2.5 inch points and the large coupling discs on bottom. |
