Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
You just don’t get it Ethan. Kavi listens to the direct mic feed, then to his recording of that mic feed. He listens for any difference between the two, for any degradation caused by the recorder. He has concluded that his recorder is the most acc... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
There is a select group of professional recording engineers now working who are considered the best in the business, responsible for some of the best sounding recordings ever made---lifelike instrumental timbre, high resolution and transparency, w... 
New Component Upgrade Success Rate
Dave---Vibration isolation? So you too are "delusional"? (read the entire "Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics" thread for context ;-).MWard---Up above you said you think you just like your existing sound too much to change it. The o... 
Which songs or musical standards have haunted you?
"Where Or When" (written by Rodgers & Hart) as performed by Dave Edmunds on his Get It album. Dreamy. Also "Let It Be Me" (originally a hit by The Everly Brothers, and performed on Self Portrait by Bob Dylan) on his Subtle As a Flying Mallet a... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
It was David Hafler (I believe) who proposed the "null" test for power amplifiers. Once an amplifier so tested produced zero sound, it would ipso facto be producing zero audible distortion, for any audible artifacts produced by an amp in a null te... 
New Townshend Rock 7 owner
Oh yeah Roscoe, the Audiomods arm is a very interesting design, with some unique, creative, and sophisticated thinking behind it. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
Hey Chris (ct0517) sorry, I just saw your post asking me about Phil Collins. I missed it somehow. Anyway, I’m not that familiar with Phil's playing, though I do know he is, as am I, a lefty. I never got into Genesis (I’m not a fan of Progressive R... 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
Good one (or two ;-) Mark. Very few speaker really play flat to 20Hz cleanly, and the Rythmik F15HP (and it's smaller brother the F12) does so in a small enclosure and at a low price. The best value in high-performance subs! 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
Townshend Audio Rock turntable, London Reference Pickup, QUAD ESL (original), Magneplanar Tympani T-IV, GR Research/Rythmik Audio Direct Servo-Feedback OB/Dipole Subwoofer, ASC Tube Traps, Owens Corning Rigid 703 Acoustical Panels, J.S. Bach. 
Tapping on my table
The Bright Star sand box was named Big Rock, and came in many different sizes. I found silica "sand" at a building supply yard for eight bucks for a hundred pound bag. Silica is a non-organic man made product similar to sand, used for sand blastin... 
Tom Petty Box Sets
Petty's original label was MCA, and their LP's were about the worst in the industry. Thin, warped, often pressed off-center, and noisy. These new versions gotta be better! 
Treble panel for Quad 57 electostatic loudspeaker
Things are already getting much better, and Trump hasn't even taken the oath of office yet! ;-)

The Townshend Audio Seismic Pods and/or Platform deal with exactly your problem sjtm. Watch the You Tube video in which Max describes and explains their design, and then demonstrates their effectiveness at providing isolation. Three or four of the... 
List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now...
Some interesting thoughts simao. I just have to comment on one of them, however. While your high school seniors rarely listen to or aren't even aware of, for instance, The Band, that in no way proves they won't still be listened to in fifty years....
