| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC I am having a very hard time placing my 3 new Golden Sound Jumbo cones in the recommended way under my amp on the Squares. According to the GS website the rear two should be pointed sound down and the front one should be pointed side up. I fin... | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? And by the way thanks to Geoff for a number of very good damping ideas with his cork paper in the DAC. Those will help too. | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? You could also try Herbie's grungebuster + PTFE washer pairs to isolate the PCBs in your DAC as I have done to good effect. You have to unscrew the PCBs to put them in but this needn't be complicated depending on how your DAC is laid out.Also, th... | |
| VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers FWIW I am switching back to VAC's KT88-SC going forward. Sound is just great I now find and the reliability factor is top class. They test their tubes thoroughly for use in their components. | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums By way of update, I am extremely happy with the Townshend podiums I recently got myself from Nick at Emporium HiFi here on Audiogon. I got the Townshend Speaker Podiums Size 3 for my Nola Metro Grand 2 speakers. I replaced the 8 Ultra AL Stillpo... | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? @psickerson, I am curious how you store music? I tried Sonore Rendu (not micro-Rendu) some time ago and liked the sound - a bit different from my Berkeley USB, but not necessarily inferior. I am thinking of going back to that for various reason... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? I would second the tubed Concert Fidelity DAC that @ps68 above referred to. It has a Philips DAC chip. Very fine sound I get from it, frankly eclipsing what I can get from LPs at any (to me) affordable price point in practically every way. My CF... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Thanks for the tips on set up @mains. Will post my impressions here. | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Thanks @folkfreak and @rcprince for the help with your experience with the Townshend. I got a pair of podiums from nick at emporium here through Audiogon. Will post here about my experience after I receive and install them. I expect the results... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Thanks @rcprince for the warning. However, I believe that the Townshend podiums will actually lower the speakers elevation by as much as a couple of inches. This, as you guessed, is because of the 2+ inch combined height of the SPs, bases and He... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Thanks for the warning folkfreak. I won't get the Herzans for my speakers then! But I am thinking very seriously about a pair of Townshend Size 3 for my NOLAs. The Townshends would replace my Stillpoints Ultra Aluminums with Stillpoints Ultra B... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums I mean I am thinking of getting the Townshends for my NOLAs. | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums FolkfreakMay I ask do you still use the Townshend Seismic Podiums or did you switch to Herzans for your speakers? I could not afford the Herzan TS-150 but I am thinking of getting myself a pair of these for my NOLA Metro Grand 2s.Thanks | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Thanks Ozzy I will try those. I see them on Amazon.One more thing to add on circuit breaker panels - a bit off topic though. I have found that a sheet of Stillpoints ERS paper over my panel is very effective in improving sound for the whole syst... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Thank you David, I will try more HFTs in the circuit box. The trouble with using superglue for me is that I rent and will move eventually. So I should perhaps try some removable glue. |
