| ''Óriginal parts'', ''identity '' and ''retip'' conundrum After years of effort I was finally able to make the perfect cantilever. Crossed saguaro cactus with Madake bamboo watered with beryllium fertilizer, powder coated with boron and diamond dust it is tipped with dilithium crystal in a Hattori Hansu ... | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening Great post. Really. but not sure why I’d want to post them. I mean, who wants to drive more customers to this guy when I still want to buy his merchandise, and some titles already sell out within seconds of listing, before I can even make up my ... | |
| flabbergasted with reviews on speakers Speaker sensitivity is real. My Moabs are so sensitive if someone even hints they aren't the best speaker ever they go into a deep inconsolable sulk for the rest of the day. | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components I replaced BDR Cones under my rack with Pods. The improvement was easy to see. Not hear, see! My rack is 750lbs solid concrete and granite. Even so when I would walk up my weight would make it rock. On Cones it would rock very fast and a small amo... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components mglik, So it is safe to say you're trying to tell us Townshend is four times as good? 😂 Sorry man, couldn't resist. I'm not real big on measurements, much prefer to give credence to what myself and others actually hear. But the laser thing, vs th... | |
| Does a cartridge that has been in storage for an extended period need play time… Everything sitting around a while needs time to come back. Happens overnight, happens when shipped, for sure happens when stored away for a long time. This happens in part because no dielectric (insulator) is perfect. They all absorb some small ... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components So kinda what I thought, within margin of error, so to speak. Yeah they are pretty remarkable. Once you get used to hearing speakers on them it is kinda hard for anything not on Podiums to compare. | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components astolfor- It is interesting your measurements show Iso Acoustics don’t even measure as well as Nobsound, as your results there mirror what people actually hear. Rapid decay is mainly what these things are all about, and so it is odd to see the old... | |
| Modding/tweaking my system The trick with Nobsound, most components will only need 2 to 4 springs per footer, and some only 3 not 4. This leaves you with enough springs to do 2 components per set of 4. Springs fit perfectly into. 1/4" hole. So with a 1/4" drill bit and some... | |
| Modding/tweaking my system Nobsound springs will allow you to play with loading to tweak the top end down a bit. This will warm up the bass at the same time. Mass loading, adding mass to some of the lighter components like a DAC, is another way of improving bottom end while... | |
| $1,500 phono upgrade worth it? One of the reasons it is better to run just one dedicated line and not multiple like some recommend. | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components Like we need you to tell us we can make up our own minds. Where do you get this sense of self-appointed superior being from anyway? | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components Right. And thanks. Another image showing how they are made. Felt on top and bottom. | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components Keeps posting the same crap. Why the mods allow this guy on the site, he only drags things down. Facts all wrong too. $425 per set of four right now, and that includes shipping. Here is what a Pod looks like inside, if instead of ripping one apar... | |
| $1,500 phono upgrade worth it? Depends on the level of hum. If when playing music at whatever level and sitting wherever you usually sit the hum is audible only when the music isn't playing, ie gets drowned out by groove noise, then no worries. Mine has been like that a lot of ... |
