Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Funny you should mention, I was fine tuning my Moabs yesterday and once again impressed with how smoothly the level adjusters work even with these 150lb speakers, and how easy it is to get them perfectly level. As I recall, Ozzy noted in his revie... 
EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!!
Completely different product. Not even spelled the same. I make jokes all the time about reading comprehension. Case in point. 
Turntable isolation platform Recommendations?
Depending on the details of your situation Townshend Pods, or Platform.If the turntable is fairly massive (like 20lbs or more) sometimes Pods can be used directly under the table. This is the best relatively inexpensive solution. (Nobsound springs...

Maybe if I break it into two sentences at grade school level? I have been a lifelong proponent of integrated amps.I have been a proponent of tube integrated amps for a good 30 years.If you really do want to be a clearthinker try logic. 
What Integrated Amp do You use
Melody I880, the last dozen years or so. KT88, tube rectifier, modified to add pre-out. Before that was a POC Jungson Class A that was nothing but problems. Before that, Aronov LS960 a terrific, liquid, 3D, dynamic, with great bass and two volume ... 
So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences?
If you know what you hear, you know what you hear. Only if you don't, then you can make excuses and dress them up with fancy pseudo-sciency names like placebo effect. To hide the sad fact you don't know what you heard. It really is that simple.Wou... 
When someone listens to your system for the first time.
vinylshadow- Go to the very top of the page. Mouse over your name to make a drop-down menu appear. Click Profile. From the menu bar at the top of the page click Create System. It is a bit cumbersome. Don't forget to click Save! 
When someone listens to your system for the first time.
Imaging. Many years ago before the screen there was a TV, with a thick blanket draped over it for music. A friend asked how many speakers? Two. No, really. How many? Two. What about the one in the middle? "That's a TV. The blanket is just to stop ... 
Magnepan, Best midrange?
Some short attention span members seem to think this is me. This is not me. This is another guy. https://youtu.be/7RxRTFx6Cd0?t=348 
I knew I shouldn’t have thrown my Electrical Engineering text book in the campus pond!
You're not missing anything. Our understanding of audio is so primitive the only electronics it pays to understand are the very basics. The more you try and buy based on tech like LPS the less likely you are to succeed. Focus like a laser beam on ... 
Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" !
Yes you can connect them. Balanced topology or not does not affect that in the least.Here is a very simple rule that will serve you well throughout all your life, audio and otherwise: if the connectors fit, you can use them. Period.Every single co... 
Townshend Maximum Supertweeters
Yes. The dumbest thing you can do in designing a sports car is put all the mass behind the rear axle. Well dumber I guess would be in front of the front axle, which SAAB I think it was actually tried. What a joke. But behind the rear axle is a tot...

Fascinating paper. It would appear the CD standard was fatally flawed from the beginning by the measuring and testing methods used to set the standard. Instead of playing music they tested bits of sounds. This is similar to the way RMS watts have ... 
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!
Yes. That's why we're talking about my system, listening preferences and background, and the cables my F1 were compared against. All audio is relative and comparative. The more you understand the reviewer and his system the more useful his informa...
