| Townshend Isolation Products. @tomic601 I bought the Hartley Reference from the owner of the company (Rich Schmeterer) amazingly the year was 1980 and the Hartleys cost $10,000 for the pair, I was 26 at the time. Rich an EE did a bread board of a three way electronic x-over... | |
| Townshend Isolation Products. I balanced a nickel on top of each speaker facing the listening position. Then I gave the Hartley Reference a real workout...tri-amped with 24" woofers. The nickels never moved, they stayed put for over a month and then I got tired of looking at... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I'm thinkin' someone switched out the real speaker graph for a recent DOW stock market graph! Regards, barts | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday @stereo5 Well I guess we all have different experiences, My first (and only) visit to Sound by Singer I was not so politely asked to leave the store by one of the salesman, which I did. BTW, they refused to play any piece of equipment! I guess... | |
| Heavy speakers: How to be able to reposition? You may have thought of this or already have one, but if not a Bosch GLM20 Blaze laser measuring tool makes speaker alignment very accurate and you don't need a second person person to hold the tape. Measures to a millimeter (1/25th of an inch). ... | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? My buddy and I (who is also a forum member) had a DAC shoot-out with three DACs. Forgetting brands, all three were only about 2 weeks old. It was crystal clear which the better of the three was. So, I'm still not sure where discipline comes into... | |
| Audiophile junkie - awesome vid about NYC million dollar system today This system looks like it has no place in that room. Bet the guy never gets above 70db! What a waste.....conspicuous waste at that! Regards, barts | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @rooze I have noticed this with all of my systems, starting at 15 years old with a "big time" Radio Shack rig, their most expensive system (my old man thought I was nuts and fought me about it). Even with that crappy receiver (STA-140) and Opti... | |
| A.I. music Of course we are in for a sea change in just about everything and no I personally don't think it's a good thing. I don't mind change...it the rapidity that bites you in the butt. I recall 30 some odd years ago as a software developer when I re... | |
| (20 year old) 1.0 meter Kimber hero xlr and Audioquest diamondback xlr cables I've been using the same 10ga speaker cable for 40 years, see no reason to change or experiment with anything else. Yes I clean the terminations. Regards, barts | |
| Stolen property I would suggest that just the fact that it crossed you mind it probably is not a good deal. Every dealing I've had there was not a red flag (let alone a pink one). There is literally tons of equipment for sale...only deal with reputable dealers ... | |

| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) @mahgister Excuse me sir, it appears to me that you are the one who is insulting me. I am not an idiot. Also, how do you know that my post was directed at you? I'm glad you enjoy your system and I hope as fervently as I do mine. Regards, ba... | |

| Handling Heavy Amps @jfrmusic When my son was in college he used to scan on-line ads for help moving things. Very surprising (to me) how many he answered and was paid well. He would take buddies with him if it was furniture or larger items. Put an ad in the loca... |
