Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate?
My subs went from BDR Cones to Nobsound spring to Townshend Pods. The last was a big jump with 5 subs but the difference was a surprise. Instead of the obvious improvement in bass that was expected the difference was immediately apparent even in m...

Good God man you can get a DNA125 and have Steve breathe on it. What are you waiting for??!😍  
So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences?
Who exactly is this "our" who is such a lousy listener they are swayed by such nonsense? This is what psychologists call "projection": when YOU feel a certain way and so you project YOUR frame of mind onto others.This is a cop out. If you can't he...

Which cartridge for Graham 2.2 arm?
I’m wondering how people can recommend a worn/used Koetsu for a person you said his budget is $500 max??? No, you're not wondering, not at all. You're just trying to take a cheap shot. Nobody recommended a Koetsu. I said buying used opens up a lot...

Vibration - What are the Main Sources?

Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!
Yeah and it works like this. Vast majority of designer/builders they will first design, then spec out parts, then maybe sometimes depending on what and who it is they might even try and compare a part here and there to find the one they like. Even... 
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!

New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :)))
If vinyl is another word for LP then vinyls is another word for LPs. Duh. 
Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate?
With that sub you will probably only need 3-4 springs per footer. This will leave you with 12-16 springs left over, enough to make another set of footers to use under another component. You can make additional footers from MDF, acrylic or wood. Dr...
