| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question grannyring Walked the IsoAcoustics Gaia l footers road and they were great. Moved to Townshend Podiums and even better at a much higher price. Speakers are ATC 50 actives, so they are back heavy with the tri-pack of amplifiers. The podiums ar... | |
| Well mastered Compact Disks Regarding Carmen Gomes, George Foreman once observed: "Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it." Perhaps applied to Blues also. I'm not saying to like her, but perhaps appreciate how effortless her delivery is. | |
| a question for audio-friends in Sweden echohifi.com has unopened cassette tapes and the occasional cassette deck. Cheers | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen Just to tickle the dragon, believing this subject somewhat beaten to death, not only in this post but others, but are not nearly everyone's subwoofers active? I like many here have owned a plethora of everything, but I've never done the passive s... | |
| Surge protection Sorry for double post, didn't mean to. Cheers | |
| Surge protection This is where I went. Professional install external to the box by my longtime electrician. Doubtful it is the only solution, but it is a solution. | |

| Luxman Knockoffs or Counterfeits? So much angst. New from an authorized Luxman dealer or used from here at Audiogon or Audiomart or Echo Audio or....... It's a waiting game. Best of luck. Cheers | |

| I’m about to push the button to get 2 SVS 3000 micros to add to ATC SCM40s. Well, it's done and that works. I would have moved to the ATC SCM 49A speakers for I believe a better outcome. I ran the active for some years and they are shockingly good and provide better bass control. Enjoy the outcome. | |
| Vintage Luxman receivers Yes. Luxman, with the exception of the Alpine owned years, has always sounded great. I’ve owned/own 5 pieces over the years. Currently a 509X which really rocks. They are fun pieces and now command kind of ridiculous prices used. Enjoy. | |
| Manley Jumbo Shrimp Ran one for years, mostly with Manley Mahi Mahi mono blocks to great affect. This is a sweet preamp with lots of drive. Moving from the stock tubes to upgraded will improve its performance. Upgraded power cord will improve its performance. Pla... | |
| Bang & Olufsen launches Beosound Balance in Natural Aluminium Good to know we can continue ignoring the brand. It really is cool design though. Sold it in the day when it was definitely the best listening foreplay around. Still sexy. | |
| Audio Rack Opinions I've no input for the OP listed racks. I run Quadraspire Reference X. The effects are not subtle. Blacker background, increased speed of vocal and instrument attack. More separation of individual instruments allowing better organization of the... | |
| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? + whatever times for Gaia footers plus carpet spike discs. I used these to great affect with ATC 50 ASLT. Adding the carpet spike discs garnered as much improvement as the actual footers, so the combination was terrific. Now use Townshend pod... |
