| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review I own the podiums. Put them under my Harbeth 40.2 which sit on top of Tontrager stands. So the strands are on top of the podiums. I believe the favorable impact which in my case is not subtle is dependent on the environment they placed in - your r... | |
| Cartridge suggestions for... How do others think about Soundsmith? The Paua mkII or even their Hyperion. | |
| Salk Sound vs Legacy Audio I demoed the 9.5 at someone’s house and wasn’t impressed TBH. Played like a box. But gorgeous construction. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @lowtubes. Well that’s all fine and good. I do have audiophile high end EQ’ed hearing aids (that’s a whole other thread on here) and I think my tubes were pretty good to begin with which may be why. And the other issue is that there was a lot of... | |

| Looking for a new phono preamp If your parameters for a phono preamp are solid state and budget $2500, then I can’t say enough great accolades about Logan “Ron” Sutherland and his designs which at that price point would be the 20/20 with the upgraded separate LPS. No bs, no fa... | |
| 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... |
