| Best music in 2020 Morrissey - I Am Not a Dog on a Chain (2020).Wow, what a pleasant surprise! Morrissey releases a pop album again.After just a couple of listens I'd say it's up there with Viva Hate, Your Arsenal, You are the Quarry etc.Producer Joe Chiccarelli ha... | |
| Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium Platform Review: @senza, yes it will be interesting to see what happens.Much of what I've learnt about this hobby has largely come from the writing of two men - Peter Aczel and Alan Shaw.The sheer depth of research, testing and innovation that goes into a Harbeth ... | |
| Magnetic levitation feet @vinylzone,I guess it must be adjustable as most turntable designs attempt to put their centre of gravity somewhere between the arm pillar and the spindle, don’t they? @chakster,Good link, again showing just how long these things have been around.... | |
| Magnetic levitation feet Interesting design.There’s already many similar products out there.Here’s one from Triton Audio.https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/TritonAudio-Neolev-Levitation-Damper-Pack-Of-4/3R... eApart from perhaps a minor concern of placing ... | |
| Audio PC Low level noise through headphones can be a really irritating problem with some setups.I’m not too sure what causes it but I don’t think it can be the proximity of the various parts.I’ve used a tiny Lenovo PC hardly bigger than a paperback that ha... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? I've been using Chord Odyssey 2 speaker cable and some fairly thick Ixos interconnects (with stupidly tight RCA connectors) for my Marantz CD player and Creek amp. Been like that for about 10 years.Everything else (minidisc/TV/Blu-ray/MP3) is eith... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review @pmiller115,Yes, there is definitely more to this hobby than just listening.As for missing the obvious or even going round in circles, I think the classic case has been the switch from the original rubber feet used on equipment (inc loudspeakers) ... | |
| Best music in 2020 Some great suggestions here - Springsteen, Pretenders, and especially Nick Cave.Also good to see the Strokes back and taking risks. | |

| Articles You Feel Should be Shared Here's a couple of interesting YouTube clips courtesy of AsapSCIENCE.Both have some good illustrations to demonstrate the sometimes strange relationship between sound and perception.It's quite clear to me that our eyes can play a considerable part... | |

| How do you choose your daily dose of music? The songs that play in your head can sometimes be trying to tell you something. And it's not always what you might want to hear.At one time I would have songs or even just refrains/odd lyrics playing in my head virtually all day. These days my att... | |
| Refurbishing 30 year old speakers I once cleaned up and then soldered the heavily pitted driver tags on a pair of 1970s Celestion Ditton 44s for a friend who had kept them in storage for too long.We both felt that the sound was noticeably better afterwards. Cleaner, more dynamic, ... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs These two (indie classics?) kind of remind me of each other what with both being drenched in reverb and echo.The Jesus and Mary Chain - Some Candy Talkin (1986)https://youtu.be/oIIdLAQ3nvcand Cigarettes After Sex - Starry Eyes (2012)https://youtu.... |
