| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review Just added some new system pics, showing the Podiums, Pods, and a few other changes. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 | |
| how can low watt tube amps drive speakers with higher power requirements The low power amp with say 50 watts cannot harm the speaker able to handle 500 watts, unless maybe if you drive the 50 watt amp so hard that it is clipping a lot. Then if clipping is bad enough the output looks almost like a square wave. This is k... | |
| Help with some big ol' used DIY speakers Can I keep that picture? Couple times a week someone asks for a desktop speaker with good bass, this will come in real handy.https://imgur.com/z2lAvpy | |
| The Biggest Album Release of All Time... Right. When everything is everywhere nothing is big any more. Except me. My head is as big as ever. | |
| Schumann Resonator I have built systems that have inherent noise levels above absolute silence,Not to rain on your parade Douglas_schroeder, it is quite the accomplishment I am sure, but don't all systems have inherent noise levels that are above absolute silence? | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? for a number of years i did rely on reviews and feedback from others for guidance. and it got me to a dead end of Mark Levinson electronics and Wilson speakers. There you have it. Wilson are a dead end.Love that quote. Green with envy. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Smart move. First mod I ever did was to the motor of my Basis, and that led to the Teres Audio Motor Pod which was a significant upgrade. Then a whole series of upgrades to the motor power supply, motor, housing, controller. Its nice having a modu... | |
| Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"? for a number of years i did rely on reviews and feedback from others for guidance. and it got me to a dead end of Mark Levinson electronics and Wilson speakers. Just about the juiciest, tastiest, most awesome sentence I have read on this site in y... | |
| Help with some big ol' used DIY speakers Anyone can tell just looking at them they will play plenty loud with 10 watts. Crazy loud. This is great, as it means anything he buys any power at all will be fine. If he wants quality I would look for a tube amp someone is throwing away, for the... | |
| HRS Isolation Bases With HRS, maybe so. Reading the comment above, HRS is only a little better "noticeable, not earth shattering" than a thick plank of wood (oak rack). When I put Townshend Pods under my turntable the improvement was like a whole component upgrade. H... | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? MC, let me start by saying there are a number of things where we do not have common ground. This is not one of them. Everything you said is spot on.I know. People have come up to me, sometimes years later, only to admit they have in time come to r... | |
| Ultimate Sinatra: Digital Beats Analog Ordinarily you would be wrong. But the way you phrased it, no. You are right. In this case digital seems to beat analog.In this case you compared some pretty good digital to some crap who knows what vinyl. Come over and hear my Sinatra-Basie, your... | |
| how can low watt tube amps drive speakers with higher power requirements You are indeed. And you are not alone. Whole lot of guys are missing it. Even ones who should know better. Amplifier watts are just about the least relevant spec in all of audio. What really does matter is speaker sensitivity. Because it requires ... | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? You sure got that right Corelli. I saw one guy looked up all the drivers in his Moabs, priced them out at Parts-Express or something like that, said it was $3600 worth of drivers. Just drivers. Not cabinet, not crossovers. Nothing for speaker term... | |
| Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"? A huge amount of what passes for critical component selection is really nothing more than following the crowd. It is by no means easy learning to listen and evaluate. It took me a good full year just to get to where I was certain what was what bet... |
