| Equipment Rack Robert -- Geoff and I both asked for a link to an independent third party data source on how your spikes, or any other similar device could act as a mechanical diode able to isolate against seismological effects, You have yet to provide this. As f... | |

| Equipment Rack The Apprentice stands are nowhere near that price tag. | |
| Equipment Rack ricred1, I would try Starsound Apprentice XL stands under your speakers. That is the place to start. Their technology has the most obvious impact on things that vibrate the most (rooms, subs, speakers.....) | |
| Equipment Rack In my system it stays in the speakers. At least for the bass range. Before the podiums (Magico spikes to floor) i felt the bass through my floor (wood on concrete) after the podiums i do not feel anything through the floor only through the air. Yo... | |
| Equipment Rack Try here for in-situ measurements, Townshend do the demo in place by jumping on the floor around the speakershttp://www.hifiplus.com/articles/townshend-audio-seismic-podium/ I saw those too. What about the vibrational energy from the speaker its... | |
| Equipment Rack answer, a lot . The impact of mounting my Magico Q3s on Townshend Seismic podia was profound. The quality of the bass response became much more natural, sounding exactly like the live unforced bass I heard in a concert just this last weekendThis l... | |
| Equipment Rack now a question for you. How do you keep very low frequency and low frequency structureborne vibration from getting up into the component? One imagines you look the other way and hope it disappears.cheers,Geoff Kaitmachina dynamicawe do artificial ... | |
| Equipment Rack Short answer: noIf you enjoy the fruits of SPs, simply find an affordable (and aesthetically attractive) rack for organizational purposes. If not, I recommend Starsound having owned both. | |

| Is computer audio a bust? A dedicated server and Roon should be enough to cure most people of the desire to go back to CDs. Ever since I started streaming wirelessly back in the early 2000s (using iTunes as interface), the thought of going back to plastic spinners has nev... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD audioengr2,517 posts02-04-2016 7:56pmMatt - I recently built an ODSX for a customer that did not care about 176 or 192 file playback, so I installed my new XMOS USB interface in it for him. This is the first one like this. This combo is simply i... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible @agear , I peruse AudioGon all the time. I am always surprised at some the enormously priced cables, interconnects and equipment. However, I do know that cables sound different, and equipment sounds different -- maybe not $20K better than a $1K ... |
