| The Best Isolation/ Vibration Footers per component - what's your experience? I recently made the decision to go with Symposium Acoustics products.

| What do/did you do for a living? I have always lived well below my means. That has allowed me to retire at age 64 and with a nice comfortable lifestyle. My audio affection all began as an 8 year old, with a "stereo" that I played the Beatles. I was hooked. My parents Magnavox... | |

| Best isolation platform for a turntable with suspension? Your Avid TT, utilizing a floating sub-chassis, would not do well with the Symposium Segue ISO for the very reason that internal springs combined with external springs is not a good combination as they would "fight" one another. My suggestion is ... | |
| Best isolation platform for a turntable with suspension? I own Symposium Acoustics products and found them to be amazing performers for my turntable.

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience I personally believe that what you seek would be satisfied by Dynaudio speakers. The new Contour 60i (arriving to the US in August, replacing the highly reviewed Contour 60) may be your ticket. Retail price is $10, 750. If you can find a dealer... | |

| Buying a new TT today @aj523 To answer your question, no, I am not going to change the AC power cable from the PSU. I have it connected to an Audioquest Niagara 1200 and, therefore, am delivering a nice clean AC current to the PSU.In a few months from now I am getting... | |
| Buying a new TT today I'm not certain why someone would conclude that I am "tweaking" my Rega Planar 10 by taking off the feet and using Rollerblock Jr + in their place. Using Rollerblock Jr + (or some other brand isolation/vibration control device) is rather common ... | |
| Buying a new TT today @aj523 May I add some information for you. The surface that you place the Planar 10 on will have a substantial influence on the sonic performance. If you read the review by Michael Fremer you should note that he stated something very similar. ... | |
| Buying a new TT today aj523 Nice choice! You are going to love it! I was simply amazed at what the Planar 10 with the RB3000 tonearm did for my vinyl playback.Did I mention before, I sold off my higher-end Micro Seiki Direct Drive turntable with a highly respected Mi... | |
| good discussion on power cords Yes, but only if it could provide a minimum of 26 lb of drag pressure. A twin-drag system would be preferable.🐟🎣 | |
| good discussion on power cords The choice of materials and production technique make a difference, no matter what the category or industry. Is a $600 Accurate fishing reel a better performer than a Zebco $89 fishing reel? Absolutely! I could not have landed that 150 lb. blue... | |
| Buying a new TT today I recently purchased a Rega Planar 10. The RB3000 tonearm is a revelation. The plinth/drive/entire assembly with their exotic materials make a very significant difference. I thought that I knew my vinyl collection very well. I am now hearing i... |
