| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! I do neither. I use Subdude platform for floorstanders and Isoacoustics brand stands for monitors. In addition to providing similar isolation, the stands get the monitors off the floor and provide optional upward tilt as needed.There may be other ... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Marketers do what marketers do and get played to do. Almost always involves a spin of some sort, never the complete story. I agree its wrong but what’s one to do except learn to take all marketing claims with a few grains of salt. I’ve worked in p... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Al, my understanding is that perceived brightness has to do with the fact that our ears do not have flat frequency response and are more sensitive to some frequencies than others, and that some forms of harmonic distortion tend to attenuate those ... | |
| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! Someone above mentioned monitors in a small room which is normally a perfect fit. Even those on many stands will still interact with floors and can be improved. I use Isoacoustics stands under my Triangle Titus XS monitors in a 12X12 room. Could n... | |

| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Yes some people are gullible and some are not. Some are Audiophiles. Some products offer good value and some not. Some are expensive and some not. Move on people.....there’s nothing new to see here....I personally would not buy A $3600 record stab... | |
| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! Badri the speakers just need to sit on the felted plywood pad squarely and securely, like a subwoofer would. If they sit firmly on the current hardwood they should sit even more firmly on the pad. No spikes needed (they would probably rip teh felt... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? As I recall the three numbers are:1. DR for the entire album/release2. DR of the track with minimum DR3. DR of the track with highest DRSo it tells you not just range for the whole album/release, but which tracks are best and worse. First number s... |
