| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? mglik- The two obvious and central components needing vibration control are the TT and speakers. IME, other component also benefit but the improvements are more subtle. That's what I thought too. That's why my first component to get Pods was my ... | |
| Dedicated Circuit There are no good links. The info is all either electricians who know nothing about audio, or audiophiles who never ran a line so don't really know. I've run several versions to my room, so I know. The biggest benefit is simply to run a direct lin... | |
| teresaudio turntable I have experience with the Verus motor on the stock round pod as well as an improved one I made and that can be seen here. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 So not Chris's rectangular pod but the same idea, only mine is using a BDR Source... | |
| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. Keep drinking, sooner or later you will be streaming all over the place. | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! kennyc- Too much effort to rank, and for me it’s better only as a checklist as what one needs to address (or not) in their own system. Waste of time to rank. To know what needs attention, different story. Everything needs attention. Every tiny li... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! Yes, the F1 speaker cable replaced my heavily tweaked and improved Synergistic CTS. These cables are significantly improved from stock. Michael Spallone modified power supplies, and a bunch of other stuff. Way better than stock. Yet the F1 easily ... | |
| Amplification: what are the biggest advances of the last 40 years? Ralph is right, of course. The general trend is up. A rising tide lifts all boats. The ones that float, that is. Never forget that one little detail. Makes all the difference in the world. | |

| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? Knowing how to build subwoofers is of course a completely different subject. oldhvymec is right. Springs are of course the best thing to put your speakers on. All speakers, sub or otherwise. Yes the springs do need to be matched or tuned to the lo... | |
| Audio PC It is very important they are built specifically for the purpose of getting AC from the outlet to the component. Other than that there is no such thing as power cord for this, power cord for that. Each and every component generates its own nois... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? But what is he talking about in the rest of his comments? Airing personal grievances, paranoia? Would you like to see the letter from the Washington State Health Department dismissing the fraudulent complaints against my license by haters on this ... | |
| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. The amp will power the speakers, yes. Question is how drunk do you have to get to buy speaker cables? | |
| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? The reason Matt says "tend" is because he doesn't know. If he did know then instead of pasting ad copy he would say springs and decoupling "are" better. Because he would know. From experience. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Five subs. T... | |
