| Re-terminate speaker cables @OP,Sorry to hear AQ didn't respond.Alasdair is usually pretty good at getting back.In any case, AQ terminals can be user replaced, just get the ends you want and use a jewelers screwdriver.In your case, you could simply stack two spades together.... | |
| Pimping your router @erik_squires ,I read your article. Very interesting about the fact that wifi signals emit a hemispherical signal below them.'I did not know that?' -J. CarsonB | |
| Are there any other cheaper options for power regeneration than PS Audio Audioquest Niagra's would be an alternative.Here is a link to a review:https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/audioquest-niagara-5000-ps-audio-p20-directst...Bob | |
| Should my next purchase be from a brick and mortar? @OP, Or, you could pick John Rutan's (audioconnection) brain.He has great advice and it's free.Bob | |
| AtmaSphere Upgrade from Mk 3.1 to Mk 3.3 Thanks for that info.I really wish I had done it while it was in the shop.Oh well, something to add to my upgrade list...Bob | |
| Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium Platform Review: I find your review to be spot on to my experiences with Townshend products.The first is a 'tighter' bass, more articutaled.Second, is the 'cleaner' sound overall.And, though you might be able to make something comparable, the Townshend products ar... | |
| Ethernet cables I found the biggest difference between CAT 6 and 6a,7/8, is the foil grounding between the pairs.It never hurts to have electrical things grounded.Actually, it never hurts many things to be grounded -especially in fact.B | |

| Isolation for Granite Surface Plate I know that Mr. Vandersteen uses a special felt for marble bases under his speakers, you might want to call or email him.Better yet, go to the new Vandersteen forum on the Vandy website.Bob | |
| power conditioners in $3000 to $5000 range Audioquest would be my pick.There was a review comparing the Niagra to a PS Audio unit, but I seemed to have deleted the bookmark.Bob | |
| To Roon or not to Roon? Another +1 for Roon.I don't own Aurilac, but Innuos, and the Roon app works great for me( albeit, I am not using wifi).I didn't want to want to pay for another subscription, but the Roon app is very well polished. I could have kept using the $4 Sq... | |
| Anyone running a tube preamp with a Pass XA25? If you require a tube preamp, I recommend an Atmasphere MP-1 or MP-3, depending upon your budget.The former gives my Ayre KX-R a run for the money.@OP, If you could accept a SS preamp, then the Ayre KX-R would be my choice.Bob | |
| Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's @sjsfiveo ,I concur with the previous post.The new Townshend platforms have 'outrigger' feet, so they should support top heavy speakers without issue.I suspect using other Townshend products will yield similar results, but unless you are sure your... | |
| Band of an instrumental piece played in march 1971 on a FM station from Muncie, IN? Why not contact the radio station and see if they have either the information or an archive?B |
