| My list of tweaks and the verdict @lancelock Those were my exact thoughts - how is this going to work. It may just be the most perfect union of mat and record weight because the favorable impact on the sound was quite noticeable. So the hexmat works as an isolator suspending the... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @audio2design Yeah so I’d say the biggest bang for the buck is clearly around turntables and speakers for sure. The Townshend podium under my harbeths was a revelation albeit an expensive ticket for entry. The fact that vibration control works und... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @rsf507 Very cool! I have not taken it out of the system since I was done experimenting maybe 2-3 months ago. I guess I should!! Btw when I told my dealer I wasn’t sure if I heard a difference or an improvement, he said buy another, but two more... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict OMG I can’t believe I forgot two additional tweaks! Too bad you aren’t allowed to update at least the original post. Anyway for those that are following my (mis)adventures, I bought 12. Cardas audio rca noise cap covers for my preamp. Can not tell... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict Right ear to brain. It was a bad joke. Anyway since I have little interest in claiming what I have is the best or that any audio tweak that I spent money on must work, it simply comes down to what I’m hearing and if i think it sounds better than i... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict I just bought 4 of the Nobsound branded Schumann generators from Amazon so I’ll get them Tuesday and they are returnable if they don’t work for me. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict Thanks mijostyn but this thread isn’t really about my component choices but just my experience with various types of audio tweaks over the past few months and their impact, if any, on improving the hifi “brain to ear” experience in my existing aud... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @ricmci To quote Elvis, “Thank you thank you very much” | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @millercarbonThanks!! I’m a big Townshend fan so will be doing more tweaking with them for sure. But I don’t love Nobsound springs cause they are undamped and their resonance frequency is much higher than my symposium stuff and they have rubber as... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @mijostyn Thanks!! But Don’t underestimate a room with serious footfall even if the turntable is heavily isolated and well...heavy. Do some jumping jacks in my room and it simply doesn’t matter if the plinth and platter weigh 20 kilos or more each... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @soundcheck6Thanks !I use Onzow zero dust stylus cleaner. I don’t think of that as a tweak though. But I will definitely look into the three recommendations you mention; unless of course the City opens up and returns to normal :) | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict Anyway I hope this is a helpful tool for others looking for tweaky improvements. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict I follow now I think lol. I guess synergy, the weak link, and things like that can play a role here. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict Hi hilde45Hard question for sure. But I feel like I have zero ego in this area and am being fully transparent to the extent my brain is allowing me to be. I had no problem saying to myself and to others as documented above that I wasted money and ... | |
| Best settings for my first MC cart In general though don’t you first look to the manufacturers recommended input load impedance which I’ve been told is the minimum spec. Then speak to the manufacturer of the phonostage and see what they recommend. Usually I’ve found they say to sta... |
