| Townshend Springs under Speakers @stringreen et al,Has anyone looked at the spring devices by Solid-Tech: in ascending order of price: Isoblack, Discs of Silence, and Feet of Silence? | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers @ozzy,Yes, I ordered the F-1 speaker cables. Don't tell me they're coming out with the F-2! | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers I corresponded with John from Townshend and ordered up the Podiums and the speaker cables. He suggested that the component Pods can be added in later as needed. Expect them to arrive in 10-14 days. I'll keep the group posted with updates. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Thanks, MC! I’ll probably start then with the pods under the components. I’ve only had intermittent luck with my DIY rollerblocks, and I’m thinking that success with these devices is hostage to the weight/pull exerted by heavy power cords. Trying ... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Ah, good point @mitch2 !I live in an older, urban apartment building from the 1930s. Top floor of a 3-story building with wood floors that are a bit creaky and not well insulated. I can hear my downstairs neighbor sneeze. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Thank you @mitch2 and @MC for your thoughtful responses. I really appreciate your assistance!I believe that the original Verity speaker lines came with spikes, but a few years ago, Verity designed this platform and included it as standard equipme... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Looking for some feedback whether my speakers might benefit from the Townshend Podiums. My speakers are Verity Amadis S. They come with the following isolation platform that Verity developed. As I'm not too technically inclined, I'm wondering i... | |
| T+A PA 3100HV vs Pass Labs X350.8 Thanks David! Your post caused me to revisit some of the statements made by Nelson Pass about not using power conditioners with his amps. On second reading, he is just urging caution in choosing the right one to not suppress dynamics. david_t... | |
| T+A PA 3100HV vs Pass Labs X350.8 @david_ten What power conditioner are you using to improve the performance of the Pass Labs amp? | |
| Need help with cable termination! Update: Looking further at the various Furez banana options and the spec sheets, it seems that the 48s are not the bananas with the largest opening that Furez offers. The XL in the part name,TSTWP48XL, refers to the sleeve size and not the openi... | |
| Need help with cable termination! Mental - Yes, I do know Doug and that's a good suggestion to contact him for advice. He also made a custom speaker cable configuration for me a couple years back with a thinner gauge of Mogami wire (2921 model). He does handle the Furez line, s... | |
| Need help with cable termination! Lak,Thank you so much for your thoughtful response!To answer your question about the Vampire plugs, the fact that they are a side-entry design is causing some major cable management problems at the back of my amp. I have a Unison Research Nuovo, ... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? On the contrary,my weakest link is anything having to do with audio. I've made any number of ill-advised purchases over the years, detrimental to friendships, bank accounts, and most importantly, my ears, so take everything I say with the usual ca... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? That's a sensible approach, but I was just trying to pinpoint where the digital-analog conversion process was taking place in your various watching/listening scenarios. Since there doesn't seem to be a standalone DAC, the sound is likely to chang... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Echolane, I'm having a difficult time envisioning how all the components in your system are being swapped out and interacting without first drawing a massive diagram on my wall ; )Let's go back to David's point about the differences between the tw... |
