| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? A preamp will bring life to your system. Don't believe me, ask Paul McGowan. Bob | |
| DAC VIBRATIONS 2 The Brinkmann Nyquist uses a marble plinth under their DAC, so I would assume that, yes, isolation is something to be considered. B | |
| Meitner MA3 vs Bricasti M3? When you get to this level, I think it comes down to the system itself. Both DAC's are impressive. It comes down to what you think sounds 'good'. B | |
| Shipping on pallets You can buy all the strapping and requisite tools on Amazon. Pallets are usually available locally with a Google search. The greatest expense is finding a shipper that will pick up a pallet from a residence and deliver to a residence, as you need... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @jjss49, You seemed to have opened a can of worms. There a few posts asking for comparisons, is it possible to make a list? B | |
| Is Townshendisolation.com a scam site? I really hate reading this when I know the company is reputable. But, lack of communication is unacceptable these days. @sluggraveyiii , What are you buying? I have a bunch of Townshend stuff I probably should sell, as I am not using it. Bob | |
| Is Townshendisolation.com a scam site? I ordered my Townshend products via Ebay. The dealer was very knowledgeable and my order was completed without issue. PM me for his tag. FWIW, Townshend is a stand up company. I believe Mr. T's daughter is now running the show. I, too, would... | |

| Vandersteen VLR (non CT), my opinion I believe the VLR Wood was the original iteration of the VLR now in production. B | |
| Kimber Kable 12TC/8TC vs. Audioquest Rocket 44/33 for bi-amping? Use the same cable with both leads. AQ GO-4 would be a better move, and cost about the same. PM Audioconnection, he knows both cables and will give you free advice without trying to sell you something. B | |
| For Innuos owners Thanks, this is good to know. I usually power my Innuos down after listening. Now, I will try leaving it on. Bob | |
| Vandersteen & Denon AVR-X4700H You can probably drive the 2's, but there are much better options. For one, using a zero feedback amp will make them sing. As a Vandy owner, you can join the Vandersteen forum and get the best info. It is located on the Vandy website. Bob | |
| How good is Aesthetix audio? My favorite dealer, Audioconnection, sells them, so they must be good. He is a member here, so why not PM him? (And, he give great advice without trying to sell you something). Bob |
