Women who enjoy quality speakers
I wish more women were interested in audio/music and frankly more people.  Somehow we have settled into casual listening and younger folks stuck with their earbuds.  I don't think people realize the escape and inner balance music makes.  I have be... 
Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon?
I have been using Audiogon since 2001.  It's worked well for me buying and selling.   
Review: Herron Audio VTSP-3A (RO3) Linestage
Did my first listen to Keith's VTSP 360 in comparison to the VTSP 3a-03.  What I noticed was that the soundstage was deeper and wider than the 03 and there was better definition in upper frequencies and depending on the recording it was more holog... 
Experiment question about sound treatment project
Hmm, I would imagine that the frame material in rixthetricks system would cost as much as several finished panels from acoustimac which I have used in my room. 
Opening Record Store
There is a reason he is going on line, can't make the storefront work. 
IsoAcoustics Gaia 1
samgar2If you go to my virtual system you can see that I left the outriggers on.  I didn't spike them to the platform but did find some M16 short bolts to go into the holes where the spikes would go.  In addition I got some 1 3/4 round self-adhesi... 
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...
