| Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms As with anything audio, the only reliable way to form an opinion is to actually use a product in your own system. Opinions by others looking from afar are meaningless. I only trust my own ears in my system. | |
| Esoteric K-03XD SE Filter and Upsampling Setting Suggestions @audiobrian I have not tried that setting. Perhaps I will at some point. | |
| Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms I did a fair amount of testing with my 100 lb floor standing speakers to solve the specific bass issue I was having in my room on a suspended wood floor with carpet. The room is treated with bass traps but the problem was the floor. I tried the ... | |
| Esoteric K-03XD SE Filter and Upsampling Setting Suggestions I had the non se version and just left it on factory settings. To me I really didn't hear a lot of difference going to other modes. I now have the K-01XD se and have just left it on the settings from the factory. Each different setting would re... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion I wouldn't sell your pass gear to go down the Dutch & Dutch path. Granted I heard them at a show but, I wasn't that impressed with their total tonal character. Fritz always gets good reviews and I wish I could hear them. The Buchardt E50 se... | |
| Shipping advice for Esoteric Use all the factory boxes and strap it to a pallet. I can just imagine a heavy box tumbling down a conveyer line and throwing the drive unit out of alignment. My Esoteric was shipped on a pallet from the factory. | |
| Footers under new speakers @buellrider97 I never got a chance to do a direct comparison with the Isoacoustics with my Townshend Podiums. My Townshend podiums are directly on the carpet and the speakers are not spiked to the platform. Based on my experiments, de-coupling v... | |
| Footers under new speakers @signaforce this is a recent video on isolation footers on Steve Guttenbergs channel and I thought it was well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAOD3aUfIYQ&t=629s | |
| Footers under new speakers @signaforce I would imagine that the Isoacoustics gaia would work in your situation. You would also need the carpet disks. Their products are offered on Amazon and if you didn't like them you could always return them. The question for Isoacoust... | |
| Chair Yes the Stressles are expensive and there are a couple of reasons to get one. The quality and comfort are excellent. I currently have a home theater chair in my listening room. It's too bulky and the most of these chairs have a back that is too... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @captouch In keeping along the spring concept like Townshend, amazon has the nobsound or other spring puck like products for around $20 for four pucks. It's an inexpensive purchase to experiment. The Isoacoustics products are reported to be good... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @captouch the reason for asking is that have my audio room is on a second story suspended wood floor and was experiencing a bump in the 80 to 100 hz range that was a problem. The room has modest accoustic treatments (bass traps, first reflection ... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @captouch just curious are your speakers isolated or coupled to the floor and is it concrete or a suspended wood floor? | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? I have heard their new Varese stack with a direct comparison to their previous model. Yes it sounded better via the Wilson speakers as well it should. That being said, who knows how it sounds to other top tier kits, I will never know. | |
| Footers under new speakers @buellrider97 is there a specific problem you are trying to solve? The podiums have an adjustment on each of the corners that can balance uneaven loads either front to back or side to side. The size 3 would work and it's about the same profile ... |
