| HiFi Furniture I was using milk crates in high school. Then I went to WSU, graduated to beer kegs. | |
| Phono without ground wire? The whole entire purpose of the ground wire is to eliminate noise. It is not at all like the ground on other things where the intent is safety. So yes it is okay and if your turntable sounds better with the ground unattached, go for it. Probably i... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters antigrunge2- The germaine issue here is that old geezers can‘t hear above 12 kHz if they are lucky to even get that far. Yet they can tell when a supertweeter with a 15kHz cutoff is present and the effects are wholly beneficial. Go figure what ... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Sorry stereo5, but it is so depressing. There are much worse things than hearing loss at high frequencies. Tinnitus, for example. If all you have is a rolloff at the top end that is actually quite benign. Sure you can't hear certain things but it ... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Yes, I know all that stuff. Learned back in my impressionable youth. Since then it has been demoted to stuff nice to know but of little consequence. Really only useful in internet arguments where the person never risks being confronted with real... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Still not getting it. Some engineer, or marketer, told you something, the number 44.1 stuck in your head, and now it is still stuck there even after new information comes along that should have you questioning the validity of all you have been tol... | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration The Tacoma Narrows bridge collapsed twice. Neither time due to being suspended. Both times due to wind vortex. Wind blowing through the Narrows creates a low pressure on one side, causing the bridge to first vibrate up and down and then twist slig... | |

| Power conditioner types Technically, an awful lot of them store it. Decware is one of the few actually to show you what is in the box. Check it out: https://www.decware.com/newsite/ZLC.html Now if you can read a schematic- or text, or you could for that matter look at th... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters It is a tweeter. A passive transducer. All it can do is convert whatever signal is already there into sound. Why would you even think to say, "recover"? | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters That is why I can’t wait to hear with my turntable. Digital does indeed have the so-called brick wall cutoff. Yet it does indeed work with digital. Analog has no such restriction. Really looking forward to it.Also look forward to the day more peop... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Interesting observation, Ozzy. My previous Talon Khorus looked like a 3 way but they always told me no they are a two-way with a Supertweeter. Thought it was just marketing, bragging about their tweeter going higher. It was a metal dome, not ribbo... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Thanks roxy54, I will be doing the same only suspended on a line from above. This will be a whole lot easier to isolate from vibration which is my ultimate goal once we find the best location.stereo5, I am not into hearing tests because hearing is... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Townshend shows them placed on top of a speaker that uses the typical speaker design with a tweeter near the top of the cabinet. So placing the Supertweeter on top it is within a few inches of the tweeter. The Moab design has the tweeter in the ce... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Roxy54, yes you were among the "everybody keeps telling me", and thanks. Where they are now on top is a good two feet from the center tweeter, so was already wondering about that one and now I know so thanks again. Got a better idea for how to get... |
