| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? The 60's and 70's were the peak of rock/popular music. It was the time of super groups where you actually had to write and perform the music without the help of synthesizers and computers. The 50's got it started and it blossomed during that tim... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I solved the scratching problem with my speakers on the Townshend podiums. I attached self stick adhesive moving gliders on the bottom of my speakers before I lifted onto the podiums. Granted my speakers are only 100 lbs. each but they worked li... | |
| Quality 1 meter RCA Interconnects under $100? A lot of good buzz on Zavfino cables. A little out of your price range but for a OCC cable they are reasonable. I have their speaker cable and it is wonderful. https://zavfinousa.com/collections/audio-interconnects | |

| Puritan PMS 156 vs. Audioquest Niagara 3000 tvad, thanks for your input, I think they are both excellent but it's hard to tell without a direct comparison. | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? Keith Herron is a gem of a designer and product supporter. I have had a few modifications done by him and have recently upgraded to his latest pre amp and amps. I have had three Modwright SACD players starting with the Sony and ending with Marant... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product Plus one for millercarbon's comment. I contacted John directly. My speakers are about 100 lbs. on a wooden suspended floor. They are an essential component. | |
| Buying used vs new? I have bought used and new. I usually contact the manufacture directly on new purchases (smaller north American companies) to get a better deal. One absolute is service. It doesn't matter how good a deal you got if it can't be serviced hopefull... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon Sometimes you need to gather several points of comment on equipment from different users to form a more informed opinion. Townshend podiums for example I recommend as a critical component. Synergistic Research fuses I can't recommend because the... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player I'm waiting for Luxman to release their D-07X SACD player. The Esoteric models also have my interest but we shall see. | |
| Tube vendors. Vintage Tube Services for me. Several purchases with reasonable prices and excellent tubes. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I am the biggest skeptic when it comes to tweaks. I own the Podiums for my second story speakers on a suspended wood subfloor. Tried spikes, no spikes stone with spikes and other isolation techniques. The Townshend podiums worked the best for m... | |
| Audio Education If you really want to learn more about audio, join an audio club in your area. There will be more information than you can possibly get from books alone. The second suggestion is to become a critical listener of music which will lead you to equi... | |
| Most important fundamentals in your built/modded listening room? There was a recent article in Stereophile from Kongens Lyngby of Denmark where ceiling height wasn't the biggest concern regarding room modes. That being said, I would focus on wall, floor and ceiling construction as being as stout as possible in... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses edgewound, there are no markings on the end caps. |
