| Townshend Isolation Products. I recently placed some Vibrapods under my Oppo 103 and was very pleasantly surprised at the result. On the strength of this I bought a used Townshend Platform to replace the Vibrapods, which elevated the sound further. The difference was IMO well ... | |
| People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? Yes, multi-subs along with bass traps and absorption of the strong early reflections are the best way to tame the acoustics. This done properly will essentially remove the damaging effects of an untreated room and allow you to hear the acoustics o... | |
| People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? @panzerwagon, a good post. I agree. @noir59, "Treat the room only when all else fails" The room itself creates huge problems which happens in all rooms, an unavoidable fact and is the downfall of many potentially great systems. If you have somet... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, great thanks. I will be visiting my home country South Africa for a few weeks and will take the speaker cables, a PC and a pair of IC's with. I will also be visiting my mates at 'the old farts club' a bunch of good guys who are not c... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, thanks. I have just enough TFA 14awg to make a 2.5 : 1 ratio helix. Would this be detrimental in any way? Unfortunately I don't have the time to order more. A year ago when I ordered from TFA the package took 5 weeks to arrive. It ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, Hi Steve, a friend has asked me to make speaker cables for his system. The speakers are my design at 96dB sensitivity and driven by a Manley Stingray tube amp providing 40W ultralinear and 25W triode-connected which is how it is alwa... | |
| Speaker cable length. This is a total non-issue. The only effect if taken to the extreme would be to slightly reduce the damping factor. Could you hear it? Well if you measure the DCR of the woofer voice coils you will find a small difference and nobody bothers with th... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @grannyring, I was trying to search through some of your posts where I think you mentioned preferring VH Audio's silver wire with AirLok insulation as being a little 'more relaxed' than bare wire in tubes where I happened upon an old post of yours... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, That's great, I have the Neotech neutral here and waiting on the silver. I'll report my findings when complete. Would using a gold plated Sonarquest schuko plug instead of the silver plated dull dynamics and transients? Only consi... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac, could you provide more info or a link to your suggestion of: Low Eddy design RCA's Thanks | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, Hi Steve I have a pair of Sonarquest IEC connectors silver plated in a clear plastic/poycarbonate housing and thinking I might try their silver schuko plug unless you recommend a different plating. As I have mentioned my system is a ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, Hi Steve, with the KLE plugs becoming harder to find I'm interested to hear from you if you have tried the new and more expensive 'Perfect22' and what if any change in sound you have noticed. I don't know if you missed my previous ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @norco74, thanks. The design works beautifully and I envisage not resting until I finally have replaced all cables in my system with the helix geometry. I have recently added a Townshend Platform under my Oppo 103 which has provided an excellent... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Hi williewonka, a belated return to thread, sometimes life gets in the way. I’m now about to turn my attention to power cables and would like recommendations from you for a schuko plug, perhaps an all out best and next best. I have been thorough... | |
| Townshend platform under digital component or amplifier ? Hey guys, I appreciate all the responses received. I tried the Platform sized for my heavy Wadia DAC which was an improvement but found more reward placed under the Oppo. There is a 10Kg weight difference so I added that amount to the top of the p... |
