| Nobsound spring hack In normal use (playing music) they don't move enough to make any noise. A more practical consideration is if the coating provides enough damping factor to damp out resonant behavior. That is one of the main differences with Townshend Pods, they ar... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander It only seems that way because the range is so wide. None of this by the way is anything new. Not even the vibration control. Others have done even more. Others here, even. Year or so ago I even came across one system, the guy had done everything ... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander Was kind of ticked off Erse wasted two days of my time not answering questions until finally saying we don’t make em any more. Which is one reason why I thank Partsconnexion.com and madisound.com and was going to not say anything about Erse. But s... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander Right now (before this whole thing blows up in my face!) would probably be a good time to thank Rick and Paul for all their help. Paul (sorry I forget his AG handle maybe MJLett?) was a big help early on, and Rick rixthetrick a huge help with deta... | |
| Lack of Female Representation To be perfectly candid this thread strikes me as virtue signaling of the highest order. It is sexist in the extreme. If we want to attract more people to the hobby then fine, attract more people. The minute you start slicing and dicing people into... | |
| Do I need a power transformer? Recently the new Supernova power cord transformed my system. Before that Townshend Podiums transformed my Moab speakers. This all began several years ago when the Herron phono stage transformed my front end. Therefore, based on my experience, the ... | |
| Interesting thought Relax, most of this is simply due to the fact people early in life tend to be relatively poor, and with other more pressing needs. I was a total audiophile my whole life long, and yet hardly bought a thing or set foot in a store for a solid 15 yea... | |
| Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists? My musical system is a vehicle used to transport my lover. I enjoy her presence whether she rides in on a bicycle or a Bentley. I like it immensely when she comes in the Bentley or Maserati or Ferrari because I get to take a fabulous road trip wit... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander DHL has my Townshend Pods, to be delivered Monday. Crossover components are now ready to be fixed to the board and soldered together. Then stuffed in there somehow. 😳 So girls, my Saturday dance card is full! 😂The crossover is mounted on an old Om... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander One of the more useful resources in all my research is this site where caps are compared like fine wine- http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html The top Duelund caps are superb, but would cost more than the Moab - and take up about as much spac... | |
| Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists? It starts now. It begins here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfIYGaslVnA | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander I've got the parts all laid out the right way now, each inductor axis at 90 to the others, and the fun part, Herbie's Grunge Buster mat under the inductors and around the ends of the Alumen Zcaps. Herbie's is kind of a stiffer thicker sorbothane I... | |
| Plastic Nobsound? Says Ecstasy Prop There's different versions. Aluminum about $30, acrylic $22, and I've seen others. The springs all seem to be the same they just change the footers. Mostly you want the springs, because unless you component is really heavy you only need 3-4 spring... | |
| Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists? There is a force in this universe, a that of which there is no other. We, all of us, our systems, everything, are all various manifestations of it. The illusion of self, of being apart from this, is one of the many games we play. Music is one of t... | |
| Plastic Nobsound? Says Ecstasy Prop The pictures look like acrylic and corian, something like that. The only purpose it serves is to hold the springs spaced in alignment. The actual material is rather unimportant, and certainly does not need to be very strong. I made some out of MDF... |
