| Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Paradigm Persona 5F. MSRP 17,500 | |
| Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness? Podiums are game changers. You will hear distinct layering in the music. Drummer will be in the rear. Piano maybe 3 ft in front. Vocals may be a couple more feet forward. No more everything pushed back on a deep plane. You will be shaking your h... | |
| AKM makes the best DACs No one will agree on best. I would say AKM dacs are the most ‘listenable” dacs on the market. Not the most in ultimate resolution but never any fatigue. | |
| Townshend Audio speaker podiums...three ways to install I have Combak harmonica footers on my podiums. Sounds sublime. I did not have much help when I received my podiums so I just put the footers on the platforms and hoisted the Persona 5f’s on to the platforms. One day I will take feet and spikes and... | |
| Cary Audio DMS600 or 700 vs Bluesound Node 2 I have a 700 and sure it is an upgrade from the Bluesound You can use it just as a streamer but would not make much sense by paying a bunch of extra dollars for the Dac system. You may want to look at an Aurender streamer as an upgrade to the ... | |
| Love my new amp and pre-amp I have the 5f’s also. Put them on Townshend Podiums and you will go to another level. Sounds like you have the right synergy going. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Podiums under speakerspods under amplifier (s)pods under pre amppods under Dac/streamer. That’s the order of improvement in my system | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Finished up a few days ago installing the Townshend pods. I wanted to do it in stages to see where the biggest bang for the buck was. I started with 4 under the Rogue RP 7 linestage. While certainly not the impact of the Podiums a really nice bum... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread ‘Lumin U1 & Paul Hynes SR5 PSU. I am very surprised, but Yellow and Purple did not bring significant changes’Thru my time of upgrading fuses starting with the Hi Fi Tuning Supreme and the SR reds I have noticed the Streamer is the least sensit... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread At first install I was surprised how good the Light Blue sounded. Usually fuses are rollercoasters the first 100 hours or so. Definitely a nice pace and very enjoyable. After a couple weeks I swapped the SR Orange back in and just more lively and ... | |
| New Cary DMS 700 600. The 600SE I believe is a CD player/dac | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread I went back to the SR orange over the Light Blue in my Rogue RP 7 tube linestage. At first I thought the Light blue was better. Gave it a couple weeks. Switched the Orange back in. Much more sparkle and detail. Reinstalled the blue for a few days.... | |
| Hans likes Cary 700 I have a 700. The remote can run the whole show. Not that it used a lot but it works. Really nice 1 box solution. I will spare the superlatives as everyone’s system and preferences are different. The integrated SD player is the best sounding of al... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers I just ordered 16 pods today 4a’s 4b’8c’s for my Streamer/dac, tube linestage and mono amps. I love the Podiums so if I can get 50% of that improvement I will be ecstatic45 day trial figure I have nothing to lose. Currently use Combak Harmonix fo... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I am a big fan of his older stuff. First Circle probably being my fave. The new album is a little more structured than recent stuff. Not crazy about the first tune but the rest is pretty nice. Does sound live, especially with the podiums. Live rec... |
