| IsoAcoustics Gaia 1 I was going to use the Gaia on my Liszt speakers but I also needed the cups since I have carpet (second story floor). I didn't think they would be effective on the carpet and didn't want to raise them any more using a platform. I ended up with t... | |
| Niagara 1200 and subwoofers Like others have said it could be a ground loop from cable TV. Just disconnect your TV cable and see if the hum goes away. | |
| Vibration Control and the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods Chuck,Do you use three or four pods under your electronics? Do you have them under your Herron phono stage if so improvements? I am using the podiums under my speakers and find them to be excellent. Thanks. | |
| Ever Hear a Tube CD player? I have used Modwright players for the last several years. Yes Dan's sound excellent. Separate tube power supply and tube output stage. | |
| Magico S5 or Rockport Atria When I was at RMAF I listened to the Magico S5, I believe the Rockport and Atria and the Joseph Audio Pearls. Granted these were not long listening sessions but if I had to choose it would be Joseph Audio, Rockport and Magico. It just depends on... | |
| Heavy Speakers with Spikes on a Concrete Floor Don't want to throw a wrench into this but Townshend seismic podiums work well. | |
| How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers? You could use herbbie's gliders that spike to the glider and are easy to move. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? Going from Harbeth to Wilson is an interesting direction. I will admit my bias against Wilson speakers. I have listened to many models over the last several years and the last ones were at RMAF in 2019. I find them too clinical in the top end a... | |
| Am I out of my mind? #obsessed As others have said, get a quality microfiber cloth from the rag company for example. The ones from South Korea are some of the best in my opinion. Also, the ones from magicfiber.com are good and I use them on my glasses without any issues of sc... | |
| Need Tubes site: thetubestore or tubedepot for new tubes. Vintage tube services for NOS. | |
| Best Speaker for classical music Hmmm, I would lean to the Rockports, Vienna Acoustics, Magnepan 30, or Joseph Audio. I have an admitted bias against Wilson and have listened to them many times. I have only heard one system with Wilsons that I liked. Similar issues with B&... | |
| Room Acoustics With Vaulted Ceiling Those vaulted ceilings can be a problem. This is what we did in my brothers studio. We got some veneer skins and stuffed them with insulation to stop the reflections at the peak of the ceiling. It has worked very well.https://www.gossardstudios... | |
| Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's I will chime in only because I used the following before getting the Townshend seismic podiums. My room is on the second floor carpet over suspended wood floor. I used the following: 1) Herbies gliders, 2) Spikes through carpet to wood sub floor... | |
| I'm never going to hear a megaspeaker in a good room am I? I have listened to systems from $100K to $800K in different and well designed rooms. My biggest take away has been, gee they sound really good but to me it's amazing how little you can spend and get really good, satisfying sound in a well designe... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations What about the Modwright 225i integrated? |
