| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review @bluemoodriver,"Someone should tell Russ Andrews that doing the opposite and floating the speaker on springs and bellows would have the same positive effect of better “bass definition and greater clarity”, but with a much better profit margin."Now... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review @bluemoodriver "How the devil do you think the microscopic and high frequency vibrations your cabinet experience are dampened in any way by springs and bellows with holes in.""It is utter gobbledygook, antediluvian nonsense." "You are imagining - ... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review @mitch2, A highly informative video. It clearly suggests that measurable improvements are happening in the time domain rather than the frequency range. | |
| Coupling/Decoupling Electronics Sorbothane hemi-spheres under my Tannoy Berkeley's (4x 50 duro for 35kg) enhanced the bass / mid-bass of my speakers. That in itself seemed to marginally clear up the entire frequency range.As far as I could tell there were only gains, no losses.S... | |
| Coupling/Decoupling Electronics @mahgisterYes, springs despite possible accidental impact instability issues may well be the best way to go.As you say the cost is negligible.Richard Vandersteen on the other hand doesn't seem to like any introduction of compliance between speaker... | |
| Schumann Resonator @mahgister,"This is not a QUESTION of price.... This is a question about simple possible low cost methods used to control vibrations, electrical noise floor and acoustic settings..."I think it's fair to say that all 3 of these concepts have been a... | |
| Magic returns in seldom used bookshelves? Perhaps it’s a case of familiarity breeds contempt?Sometimes we can start to overly dwell on the attributes that least please us ahead of those that do.Perhaps you began to worry about the obvious weaknesses of the Sierras - the lack of deep bass,... | |
| Schumann Resonator @mahgister,Good link but you could take its argument any way you chose. In any case, external interference in scientific research ("flagrant conflicts of interest") cannot be a good thing. Or are scientific independence and impartiality already t... | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! @passthedutchie,"Haven’t (badly) hurt my back yet but it’s probably just a matter of time with 130-pound stereo speakers, a 110-pound solid-state amp (with dangerously sharp heatsinks), and subwoofers that are well over a hundred pounds each."Err.... | |
| SQ vs. Music @nicktheknife,"There’s good advice to be had on some of these forums but imo reading them too much can result in the audiophile neurosis that people talk about. I think that was happening to me. Listening to my gear and not the music.One piece of ... | |
| I saved alot of money. @golden210,I’d agree with @bjesien, price and performance are not necessarily linked. Certainly not at the so-called high-end.Neither would I like to say that the extremely versatile NAD C546 BEE can in any way be considered as a weak link. Especi... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear 50 years on after the breakup of the Beatles and no one ever seemed to capture the same magic.Or maybe they did. What about the group that featured Stig O Hara, Dirk McQuickly, Ron Nasty and Barry Wom? Collectively known as the Rutles.With songs ... | |
| I saved alot of money. @bluemoodriver,"..but there's a kicker: after we all confirmed that we could hear meaningful differences, Wilson whipped a fake component shell off the digital source and revealed that with the Wilson speakers we weren't listening to the $20,000 C... | |
| SQ vs. Music @ejr1953 ,I could not make it thru the first track of the original "Born to Run" CD, as the "highly resolving" system being demonstrated brought out all the rough edges in a way that was not at all pleasing.The story behind the recording is pretty... | |
