The Most "Analog" CD Player?
Interesting only one five star review. Showing once again the importance of setup in getting the most from your CD player. 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
mitch2-Another way to consider it would be to get the app and then put your phone on your speaker. Using the same music and sound level, take readings with the speaker spiked to the floor and readings with the speaker on springs or a spring platf... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Relax mahgister, he never knows anything about anything, this is no different. One of many it is best to simply ignore.mofojo- MCI’m not ready to drop that kind of coin on some spring platforms at this point. Can you recommend what springs and whe... 
Coupling/Decoupling Electronics
If you think the 1" from the wall was big, wait till you hear the image focus improve when the speakers are precisely equidistant and symmetrical. Please note I said precisely. Not within 1/4". Not within 1/16". Precisely equidistant and symmetric... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Broke protocol and read a post and so let me offer my condolences, and compliments, having to go to all that trouble only to wind up corroborating every single thing I have been saying. Sometimes darn near word for word. Way to go, guppy.  
Phono Stage, How much do I need to spend, New or used.
You want to fill the room "like digital does"? Impossible. They all sound way better than digital. However, if you are asking what phono stage will be so good that even a guy like me who uses digital as the standard will be forced to admit yeah, t... 
How much is overkill??
At some point in the future I HOPE to be able to get back to a little nicer 2 channel system, but for the next year I will be listening nearfield on my desk.Building a satisfying system is hard enough. Don't go making it any harder than it has to ... 
Is a separate phono preamp worthwhile?
Separate phono stages are so much better than the cards used in amps that you would have a hard time finding one that will not be a huge improvement. Yes I know that's an expensive Mac and yes they probably say it has a really good phono stage. Th... 
The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound
Besides, timbre and dynamic nuance is where the music is. Everything else is audiophile stuff that many confuse for components of music. Think that’s wrong? Look up any meaningful text, book, article, etc. on the subject of MUSIC and find the ... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Yeah Bob it is strange. I started with Pods under my turntable. The most obvious place you would expect would make the biggest improvement. But I swear they improved my tube amp at least as much! It is still a little strange to feel the amp move w... 
Upgrade phono pre?
You listed your components but said nothing about what really matters, which is the sort of sound you like. So forced to guess, assuming you like the sound you're getting now from all that Pass then more Pass is a safe bet. If you wanted to move t... 
Schumann Resonator
It is clear to me now I have vastly misjudged the reading comprehension of (some) of my audience. I say some because while it may appear to you all you are the only ones here, let me assure you many others read and do not comment precisely because... 
Tekton customers in Los Angeles
Get Moabs. fuzztone is correct no one NEEDS subs. But you do want them. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Tekton 4-10 is probably the most cost-effective way to go. They came out after I built mine or I would have them. You want volume and... 
Open House With Audio Components
willgolf sold his with the stereo. In fact they buyer's specifically had his Raven Reflection MkII included in the sale. https://www.ravenaudio.com/product/reflection-mk2/ Well, I mean, who wouldn't?  
What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system?
Helmholtz is fine and I am on board but can we have a how-to?  The ones that really worked the most for me are Synergistic Research HFT. I have the full Speaker Kit on both speakers, and I forget what level they call it but several sets in the roo...
