Recommended products for polishing Focal speakers
I had some focal utopia speakers that had a black gloss finish and they had some swirl marks.  I would only use a very fine microfiber cloth that is used for eye glasses.  I believe some of the higher end auto polishes that have some anti swirl pr... 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
I do know that using springs on suspended wood floor construction works and I did the experiments.  My thought is that the floor was picking up the vibrations from the speakers and transferring the vibrations throughout the structure.  This caused...

If you haven't tried "springs" regardless of supplier under your speakers your opinion is invalid. 
Helping a friend build a new system
I will throw in a wild card speaker.  What about the Watkins gen 4 stand mount?  Always excellent reviews, and seems to punch way above it's price class.  Wish I could hear a pair. 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
Geez, the only way to know is to try them in your own system.  On my suspended wood floor I tried (1) no spikes (2) spikes (3) two inch slabs of flagstone with spikes (4) Herbies large gliders (5) Townshend Podiums.  The Townshend Podiums worked t... 
Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend!
I compared the gliders to the podiums and agree with millercarbon. 
Three cheers for Keith Herron
I have owned Keith's gear in one form or another since 2001.  I recently upgraded to his new pre amp and M2 amplifiers.  His equipment sounds excellent and doesn't break.  His service is the best in the industry and I try and support North America... 
Torus power vs the competition
Anyone compare the Torus products to the Puritan 156? 
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...

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.
