| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics There is currently a genuine VPI ring on USAM, asking price $500. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601, let's dedicate it to Art Dudley, who loved Tony, his favorite flat-picker. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @spiritofmusic, TFT = Trans-Fi Terminator. | |
| SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass? Yep @mahgister, the video you provided a link to (I really gotta learn how to do that ;-) is the one to which I was above referring. | |
| WHO are some good loudspeaker upgraders and refurbishers? That's an easy one: Danny Richie at GR Research. Watch his videos on YouTube, wherein he measures loudspeakers (and listens to them, of course), then designs x/o filters to correct response weaknesses (if the speaker exhibits any such). He also re... | |
| SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass? Actually Geoff, the video to which I’m referring is a different one. It is entitled "The effect of ground vibration on audio systems", and was taped in a private space (maybe at the Townshend facilities?). It starts with Max discussing the problem... | |
| Swarming! @mizike, the other way to use four Rythmik subs is to get the XLR2 version of their plate amp. That amp allows one to "daisy-chain" (or "piggyback") two subs together, one as master, the other slave. When so connected, all the crossover/phase/etc.... | |
| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics He's definitely mistaken. VPI made it well known their ring worked only with certain, specific platters of theirs. | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? The Modjeski quote reveals why his Music Reference amplifiers are so trouble and maintenance free, unlike many of the more well-known and owned tube brands. RM was doing repair work in a shop while still in High School, and learned how NOT to buil... | |
| SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass? @pmg1223, in one of the Townshend Audio YouTube videos, Max explains the design and demonstrates the effectiveness of his Seismic isolator. Just do a search for the company name on YouTube, and all the videos will be made available for viewing. | |
| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics VPI has made two different sized platters, the smaller one 11.5" (I don't know the size of the larger one). Did Wayne ask you for the size of your platter when you ordered his ring? | |
| Tune of the Day ABBA: "Ring Ring". Pop/Rock as exciting as anything by The Who. And much better in terms of songwriting, singing, and vocal harmonies, the glaring weaknesses of the latter. | |
| SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass? It's been said here perhaps hundreds of time: watch the Townshend Audio YouTube videos wherein Max Townshend demonstrates the effects of installing a set of his Seismic Speaker Podiums between a loudspeaker cabinet and the concrete floor they are ... | |
| Who's Gone Topless? The op makes the case that removing the top panel of an electronic component may improve it’s sound quality. It is also possible that doing so will degrade same, in particular if the metal chassis of the component is designed such that the top pan... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? Roger Modjeski argued that except in the case of very sensitive loudspeakers, all amplifiers are occasionally driven into clipping. He went on to say that how an amp behaves while clipping (stability, generation of distortion) is a result of the q... |
