Townshend Springs under Speakers
@tvad I have not tried those. I have long been interested in the HRS couplers. I have 5 B Pods under my Circle Labs A200 Int Amp. They are 2 inches in height. Amp weights 44 pounds. I have 4 B Pods under my Mojo Audio Evo dac. They are almost 2.5 ...

I placed Townshend Pods under my integrated amp and dac yesterday. ( Mojo Audio Evo dac & Circle Labs A200 int amp) Really enjoying the sonic improvement over IsoAcoustics products. Putting the tech arguments to the side for a moment, these To...

Puritan power conditioner, the 156, has DC blocking on all outlets and is a world class conditioner at the same time.

This is a great one that I used several times. They also sell high current ones and many other options. I have also purchased the high current DC blocker built in a case.  Great products. https://www.atlhifi.com/shop/bare-pcb/pcb-for-dc-trap-block...

Funny you believe one person’s experience, but decide not to believe the 10 others that hear the improvement. Strange.  
Electrolytic capacitor replacement
This is for an amplifier. I have replaced those Solen caps before. I have never liked Solen caps however. They are OK in a power supply, but they are slow and dull sounding. Why not Clarity CSA? 
Critical listening and altered states
@mikelavigne I will buy the CD and rip it.  I had some friends with differing systems play the same track on Qobuz and Tidal. Same popping result.  The distortion shut down my amp! It was at moderate listening levels. When she reaches her stronges... 
Critical listening and altered states
Too bad the streaming versions of Anna Netrebko, Sempre Libera distort terribly. Sounds like she is clipping her mic. Not sure, but not playable at moderately loud levels. First time I have heard this sort of popping/fluttering distortion when str... 
How Hot is Too Hot - Diablo 300 - Hell Hath Some Fury…!
Yes that is normal and fine. Same thing happened with my Clayton Audio class A amp. Could not keep my hand on her for more than a few seconds.

MC if you’re not a Townshend dealer, then I apologize. I understood you are now? I guess I am confused by your posts. Sorry.

I like the QSA Blue more than the SR Orange. Less forced sounding, smoother, better mids and more at ease. This is in my tube hybrid integrated amp. I will stick with the Blue. Love it! Three of them in my Int amp.May be gear synergy dependent.

MC, I also wish you all the best on this endeavor. I continue to buy new products from Townshend.  Love them. You would be wise to consider the advice and wisdom of reasoned posters here and humble yourself. When ALL posts, without exception, sugg...

Ok then MC. I better understand your perspective on this. Yes, your evaluations are accurate, no doubt. Seems pretty reasonable to let folks know, when you actually knew, that you are entering a financial relationship with Townshend. What can poss...
