| Another anti vibration solution -Primacoustics Townshend Seismic platform fan here. One of the mods I've done that made me go wow. I'm a big believer in spring isolation vs various anchoring techniques like spikes and then there is the rubber options which are half way in between. Of course... | |
| New Wolf Von Langa SON Owner! The floor doesn't matter with spring mounts because the springs isolate the speaker from the floor. I currently have my speakers located with the front feet on the carpet and the back feet on the hardwood. Townshend had about a 3" diameter pad... | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much I think the problem is the internet. It isn’t just stereo. Shoestores have it worse. Eveybody goes it, tries on shoes to get their size, and then orders online. I would guess the dealer was trying to determine if you were a serious buyer or an in... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @lemonhaze I've worked 40+ years in an industry where all equipment is continuously in service with very short outage times. So there isn't much testing time available. Generally the engineers (I'm the engineering manager) do a lot of research... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Lost me at the chip. | |
| Long interconnect or speaker cable That is what XLR is made for. XLR handles long runs. One reason monoblocks are popular is for just this setup. Jerry | |
| New Wolf Von Langa SON Owner! Congratulations on a great speaker purchase. Consider the Townshend Platforms which are my personal preference. They are tuned for the mass of your speaker. Your power supply drives your field coil and may not benefit much from an upgraded powe... | |
| Priority use for purchasing my first linear power supply - Streamer, DAC or Amp? The one that has the worst internal power supply. Probably the zen. Don't know what powe supply Freya has. Jerry | |
| Modifying Crossovers @jaytor I was headed that way (internal) but I went with Jantzen foil inductors and I finally gave up trying to make everything fit. I even had one built and disassembled it last night. Good luck with your upgrade. Jerry | |
| Turntable weight affects speed @clearthinker I'm done. best of luck. | |
| Modifying Crossovers @vair68robert My internal crossovers are on 2 boards and to replace them interally with bigger components would have taken at least 3 boards. I appreciate the simplicity but am no expert at designing crossovers. I'm going with the same values as... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @nrenter Good post. BTW, the new crossovers I'm making are going to be external with a plexiglass top. As for "is it worth it? I'll have about $3k in this upgrade by the time I'm done. I don't expect it to be a religious experience. But I... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @boxertwin12 Indeed full range drivers have their fans and I'm glad you enjoy them. I prefer to go the other way. thanks. Jerry | |
| Modifying Crossovers @lemonhaze Good eye identifying the components. Indeed those are Duelund bypass capacitors. They are actually in the midrange circuits. Didn't feel a bypass was necessary for the low frequencies. The Path resistors are proven by friends that h... | |
| Turntable weight affects speed @jea48 good theory. something is rubbing that shouldn't be rubbing, and with the extra mass, it rubs more. |
