| Townshend Seismic Podiums NOTHING drains vibrations. Only moves them in the frequency band. NOTHING can drain them away to nothing. Measure with an acellerometer and you will see this is correct. Heavy wood and lead stands and footers just change the frequency some. This i... | |
| Townshend Seismic Podiums With ALL respect guys, until you have measured and learned with an accelerometer and saw EXACTLY what happens, and is happening, you are just GUESSING. You can easily see what mass loading does, as opposed to draining energy with spikes. You will ... | |
| Downsize Audio is making cables again! Doesn't surprise me. He shut down about 8 years ago to spend time with family. He became too busy for life with cable orders.He makes cables with almost zero dielectric, and specific conductor spacing. Uses 7n copper and 97/3 silver and gold alloy... | |
| Townshend Seismic Podiums The simplified version of how the platforms work is simple ... They find the acoustic zero of the speakers vibrations. Neither coupling or decoupling from the floor. They end up acoustically floating, without vibrations affecting the speakers any ... | |
| Townshend Seismic Podiums I was able to borrow some for a month while a friend was building his house. I was blown away. I build custom speakers. So I got out my accelerometer to measure vibrations of the cabinets. With and without were VERY different in the cabinet vibrat... | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion Check this out! Downsize Audio Cables is up again on a market test basis.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/downsize-audio-is-making-cables-again | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion I thought I was going to post some photos of cool foil cables, but I see photos aren't happening here, oops! I miss a lot in my old age, lol | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion Being friends with Josh, I have been to his shop many times. He probably has 30 or more cable brands there. It is a dream for anyone wanting to compare cables of every kind. I own Downsize cables because I've heard them best $20+ speaker cables. I... | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion Josh and Downsize audio is still around. He makes runs of cables every few years or so. He is just reclusive, and suffers with his health. He recently made cables for several people on the forums. Maybe one of them will give their thoughts on the ... | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion @pesky_wabbit. I’m sorry but once again this is incorrect. The width of the conductors combined by the given gauge tell us these are as thick as a dime or penny. This is not foils. This is not similar. And people will not get a taste of foils like... | |
| Protecting from cats and dust ??? My cats are very well behaved. I'm not afraid of them harming the equipment. My point is they will jump up on top of anything flat and sit though. This can allow dander or dust from their feet and coat to settle onto equipment if it's not covered.... | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion And you are dead wrong about foils and Goertz speaker cables being the same ... not at all.Goertz conductors are the thickness of a penny! There is your biggest problem. The two conductors are loosely stacked inside a sheath of thick plastic. Mean... | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion Don't be embarrassed for Max. He is a genius inventor and engineer, that designs other things like space propulsion systems for NASA. He knows more about technology than the entire forum's experience combined.Don't knock him, just because his prod... | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion @itsjustme.... no, I am not kidding. It's just you, LOL. The measurements were real. Arguing against scientific measurements is fruitless. | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion @speakermaster, I agree. Goertz was not good in my systems. But Goertz is not foil either. I somewhat agree about foils working best with really good systems. But it’s not because they are difficult. They are so neutral they tell on upstream issue... |
