Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker!
Well thanks, GK! 
Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker!
The last thing I won was a full-expense paid trip for two to Austin, after my ticket stub at a Junior Brown show at The Lava Lounge in L.A. was pulled out of the lottery hat. Air fare, two nights at the historic Driskill Hotel in Downtown Austin (... 
TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath?
@dmk_calgary, one layer of ASC WallDamp is all that is required, or even desired. You want it’s two sides to be in direct contact with both surfaces it is damping. ASC says WD need cover only a portion of the two surfaces; I think they told me som...

Why, with a set of Machina Dynamica Super Stiff Springs, of course. Which I myself have just received . 
Speaker Spikes and related items....
@dmk_hifi, the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods are available in different weight capacity versions (4-8lbs, 8-16, 16-32, 32-64, 64-132 each), yet all retail for the same amount. More economically-priced mass-on-spring isolators are available from Mac... 
Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update
Au contraire, @slaw! Vic made a run with the longest silver assembly he had left, but it's just long enough to reach from the table to the phono anp, which I place bassackwards right behind the table. A sent him a pair of KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA...

tep, shoot an email to John at selecthi-fi on ebay. He'll give you "best price" on all things Townshend. 
The Music Room is Hiring - Audio Repair Tech Wanted
Oops, right you are @ghastly. Another thing I should have said is that California, like any and all other States, is comprised primarily of lots and lots of families---mothers, fathers, and children, grandmothers and grandfathers, aunts and uncles... 
The Music Room is Hiring - Audio Repair Tech Wanted
I don’t know about Colorado, but California has a great many different communities. Orange County is very conservative, Reagan/Nixon country. Silicon Valley (San Jose, Cupertino---where I grew up) is very high-tech, of course. Southern California ...

@three_easy_payments, look into the Townshend Audio Seismic Corners, which are designed to be used under the four legs of a stand, to decouple it from the floor. 
VPI Uni-Pivit Tone Arms
A fair number of VPI arm owners have added the optional Dual Pivot. Me, I tried a unipivot arm in the 1970’s and hated it. I tried another in the 80’s and hated it too. 
Help me understand how screen voltage plays into it - KT120 content
Give Roger Modjeski a call at Music Reference. He knows as much about tubes and tube circuitry as any living human being, and doesn't mind sharing the wealth with aspiring engineers, or even "just" audiophiles. 
Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update
Great post, @ledoux1238! I completely agree about the nature of the Eminent Technology and Trans-Fi business models (along with those of EAR-Yoshino, Music Reference, Pass, Herron, K & K Audio, Magnepan, Townshend, Kuzma, and a few others), an... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@tomic601 and @slaw, thanks for the reminder about Amy. When Levon toured after his throat surgery and couldn't sing, he brought Amy with him on the road. He brought her out part way through his set at The House Of Blues to sing a bunch of songs. ... 
Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update
@ledoux1238 and @slaw, two more excellent reviews (both raves) of the ET LFT-8b are those in The Absolute Sound (by Robert E. Greene) and Hi-Fi World (Noel Keywood). VPI’s Harry Weisfeld has sung the speaker’s praises as well, saying it has the be...
