| Aurender A-10 I owned an A10 for a few years. Model getting long in the tooth. Hard drive failure in my unit sounds good but not nearly as detailed as a Lumin T-2 Depending on your system the Lumin could get fatiguing over time If you can live without an in... | |
| Verastarr Mike Powell ( OCD guy) is a bum. I bought a pair of AGD gan amps and sent them back two weeks later ( 30 day trial) as they were not a good match in my system. said he spent my money and I would have to wait 60 days for a 9k refund. Took him 10 w... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house I had a couple of Tempos ( bridged) for a couple of weeks in my system. Definitely sound good but a little soft in my system. Didn’t seem to have the grunt of my Odyssey monoblocks. these would be awesome amps mated with a high efficiency speaker... | |

| Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Hans was happy cuz his wife let him keep the Gaia’s. Folks that have moved up to the Podiums from the Gaia’s have stated a nice improvement. | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? They did. Alberto told me they took it away because of Powell’s lack of customer service. | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Biggest mistake was dealing with Mike Powell Bought a pair of AGD Tempo GAN amps and just didn’t work out in my system. Sent them back within 3 weeks of the 30 day trial and he said he spent my money. He pieced me back the 9k over a 10 week peri... | |

| 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... |
