Springs under turntable Relating to fine tuning the load by weight, you may want to consider using a suitably sized and shaped container appropriately filled with sand or crushed rock. | |
Springs under turntable SolidAirAudio: We have done more scientific tests, which show a slight load dependant resonance, but this is not very helpful as it will vary with units with different weights. It does explain why a second layer of feet works so well though, as wi... | |
Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Hi Mahgister. Regarding the spring footers. Do you have any idea as to the amount of weight that one footer at full capacity (7 springs) will handle at 30% compression? I realize I can adjust down in number of springs. Thanks for the link.Looking ... | |
Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... This active control has blossomed into quite a project.

Is Sub Gain Set&Forget Across Music Genres a Fallacy? Hi Tim. PMed you since I'm tardy in my repy and we may be getting off topic. Derek | |
Is Sub Gain Set&Forget Across Music Genres a Fallacy? noble100 +1Don't underestimate feeling, especially regarding bass, in music. I thought there was a finding that we felt quicker than we heard. Eg. That our hairs stood up BEFORE we heard (thru our brains) a loud explosion. | |
Hopelessly Confused Synergy is everything when it comes to speakers and amp pairings. Since you are going to rely on hearsay, start another post with B&W CM5 in the title and ask Agoner's experience with their amp, as a baseline. Also search for prior posts of CM... | |
Is Sub Gain Set&Forget Across Music Genres a Fallacy? I use 4 subs. When I first tuned them, I used my 3-5 references (jazz, classical and voice dominated music) to set them. I was very happy as it provided me a lot of bass without any boom. As I expanded my listening further away from "reference" r... | |
Now I get it... Consider ultrasonic cleaner if you have not already. Especially if you bargain bin and listen to older records. You'd be surprised how much ground dust accumulates in 40-60 years. Though that dust could tell some pretty cool party stories. | |
Record Cleaning Machines Absolutely positively USC. You will not believe how dirty your prior cleaned records really were until you UC them and see the water you need to empty. | |
How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup? 40+ years, and still going at it. Just one component away! Or so it seems.😂 | |
What kind of listener are you? @mahgister I recognize inside me a satisfaction or a dissatifaction that goes on with the increase or a decrease of the S.Q. and his capacity to convey the rightful musicality and timbre...I can compare my past emotions to the new emotion, not a p... | |

IKEA launches modular speaker line - watch out Wilson, Magico... This is great for my daughter to play my Abba album. | |
Transitioning options from Big Maggies Fyi, forgot to say that my present set up mandates the speakers be up against the 11 foot wall. Thanks for the suggestions. |
