Townshend Audio speaker podiums...three ways to install
Uh, that’s what I thought he would say. So I left out the brass cups detail. He did not say put speakers directly on the Podiums, which is what will sound best. I remain standing, feeling not even the slightest tickle. Incidentally it is not that... 
Raven Audio and Beyond...
Something to consider in picking a speaker first. There are a lot of amps, yes. Depending on your choice of speaker however you may wind up with virtually zero amps to choose from. Or very poor choices. Search around for all the time and trouble p... 
A new way of adjusting anti skate!
Skating force is due to overhang. No overhang, no skating force. That simple. This is why tangential tracking arms have no need of anti-skate. Tracking tangentially generates no skating force.  Once there is overhang then there is skating force, ... 
What's a reasonable listening position response curve?
Human beings can hear 0.1dB so the maximum tolerable variance is at most +/- 0.05dB, and I would go .01 just to be sure. Remember, sound quality is 110% entirely determined by frequency response. It is totally worth whatever EQ it takes to get thi...

It will come as no surprise John at Stillpoints will say use the Stillpoints on the Podium. Or else, knock me over with a feather. It could happen. Kudos to John if otherwise. Your best results will be speakers directly on Podiums. This will howe...

Moved Overseas - Need Help with 3 Easy Tech Questions
Line voltages are nominal, that is to say they vary. Variance of only 10V is not significant. Line voltage can vary that much from place to place anyway. Here in the US for example it is all 110, only sometimes quoted as 120, just as sometimes 220... 
Clearaudio Concept Satisfy Carbon - Setup Help
According to the manual there is no lift adjustment. However, also according to the manual, there should be no need for one! VTA is adjusted by raising/lowering the entire arm base including the lift. So whatever lift there is remains constant.  ... 
Crossover Transducer, Loud Speaker Purifiers do they work? Have you used them?
Haven't used those exact ones but have used a lot of similar type tweaks on two different sets of speakers now. With Synergistic I have a long history of using a lot of their stuff and after years of experience it is kind of like yeah, go for it. ... 
Video, Why dont audiophiles listen to each other.
No, it is not "life in the forums" that makes it sound passive and inevitable. When in fact it is individual people who make it that way. It is their doing, not some gauzy "life in the forums".  Plenty of people, way more than you would think, co... 
Where should the vocal image be?
ozzy62-  miller carbon, Comments about toe in are off base. There is no “one size fits all” recommendation regarding soundstage depth and toe in.  ozzy62, Your digs are off base. Never said "one size fits all" and as for the other stuff my com... 
Where should the vocal image be?
It’s could be quite subjective as I would prefer the vocal to be at least mid way between the listener and the speaker plane. I understand this would trade off soundstage depth. This leads to another related topic as would you prefer that "they a... 
2022 is almost here. Why are you here?
I worry people might think the Jordan Peterson video is nothing more than a dig on all the posers preening their virtue. It is, but not only. Check it out:  "If you do a good job invisible doors open in front of you." The ones this is directed at...
