| Spikes versus wall coupling Barry Thanks for your detailed reposnse. I have checked out your well recommended products and understand the theory. You state "A speaker resting directly on a hard floor does not usually sit as flat as we assume it will. Both the floor and the b... | |
| My spades are too small for speaker posts Great simple suggestion - thanksJoe | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling MarkPHD thank you and all others who have posted. I am clearer now on the issue. For me logically it makes sense for the speakers to have something very solid to push against so that the movement of the drivers is all in the correct direction, and... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling MarkPhD Thank you for your detailed response. I may be dense but if you are trying to decouple the speakers by using spikes, could you not also decouple using cork, felt or rubber, or combination products such as (VIBRATION ISOLATION PADS or Klein... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Thanks you all for your input. I get the impression that it has never been fully settled whether it is better to isolate or couple speakers. Am I correct that here are two schools of thought? Is the same true for components (some folks isolate and... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Rushton Your point is well taken:)But I looked at the prices on Walker - yikes! Any lower cost points that you like, perhaps mapleshade? I think that I will try both points and cork (or cork-pucks) and see what sounds best | |

| Northstar 192 Transport and DAC - comments Yoiryos - opps, you already told me you like it on another thread | |
| Northstar 192 Transport and DAC - comments Yioryos - do you find the NorthStar to be a delight as to sound and better than your previous? I am switching from an Nakamici Mb1 Cd player into a Aragon D2A2 Dac, to the NorthStar duo and hope it will be a signifcant upgrade. | |

| Looking to compare SACD sound with redbook Thanks to everyone for thier input on this thread. I have decided to upgrade my redbook and am purchasing the NorthStar 192 Transport and DAC, used from a fellow gon'er. All the comments on the beauty of SACD were much listened to and appreciated,... | |

| Looking to compare SACD sound with redbook I can understand Parabales question about what machine next. I am debating between NorthStar 192 transport and 192 DAC for redbook at $2,700 new, versus The Dennon mods or Marantz SA 8260 for both red and SACD. |
