| Tonearms that work well with better Koetsu stone body cartridges "to the point of irrelevance" is close enough to no impact for me. I miss zero nuance. If anyone is missing nuance it’s the ones still saying compliance is so important. It is- if your arm is crap. If your arm is good then it by definition doesn’t... | |
| No free lunch Okay, people whined so I read the post. Now again I ask, are we even talking about the same thing? Because, still:1. Nothing about a free lunch!2. Nothing about impedance!3. Nothing about tradeoffs!Just more armchair audiophool blather that does e... | |
| A bit of an epiphany...with humble embarrassment You're not the first to say that. All who have compared say Podiums are a lot better. Which for the price I would hope so! But the surprise is not that Townshend is a lot better than IsoAcoustics, but that Gaia is hardly any better than Nobsound. ... | |
| Subwoofer Decisions - REL/Rythmik, Pair/Single, Paper/Aluminum Driver, etc. The most important thing with subs is to have a lot of them in different locations. Four small ones distributed around the room is way better than any one or two no matter what or where or how powerful. This is a lot easier to say than to understa... | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Herron VTPH2A, with Koetsu Black Goldline. The short list for my next one is Soundsmith Hyperion or Strain Gauge. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Crisis? What Crisis? | |
| Minimum Broadband Speed Necessary For Uninterrupted Qobuz and/or Tidal Listening? Whatever is the broadband speed of FM, that is what you need. Pretty sure you will be able to get FM, even without a satellite.I like vinyl rules, but have you gone off the deep end? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Weak. Not pathetic weak. Not totally ignore it weak either. Just your ordinary garden variety weak. | |
| No free lunch The video is the subject. Paying attention to all the whacky irrelevant comments below it is like reading all the whacky irrelevant comments that flow on endlessly from, well stuff like this thread. If you want to direct my attention to some parti... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy Or could it be, because I called out that your preferred method - Springs, are you know.. “springy”, and would not be be best at damping vibrations. The spring action would just add their own color or even potentially, resonance to the vibration. ... | |
| Has anyone made interconnects using Duelund 2.0 Silver Foil? Of course. Because Mapleshade misses the one key ingredient, the importance of having the two ribbons extremely close together. They have them far apart and not even consistent, just two separate ribbons. The configuration that tests the absolute ... | |
| Speakers for a less-than-ideal room One of the many beautiful things about Tekton, they are all highly efficient and so can be driven well by just about any amp with more than a handful of watts. This makes it real easy as all you need is 20-50 watts. Mine for example fill my large ... | |
| Charlotte Nc Turntable Setup Help Happens to the best of us. No, seriously. Had the guys from Portland up here, put on that same LP, forgot to push 45. If Fremer says he never did this, he is lying. We all have. | |
| My System's Weakest Link - What Say You... Buttkickers is street slang for Tekton Moabs. Because they, you know, kick butt on all other speakers. | |
| No free lunch Did we all watch the same video? Because the one I saw there was nothing about any free lunch, nothing about impedance, and zippo about tradeoffs.So either we all watched different videos, or people "get" stuff that never was there. I know which o... |
