| Vibration Control and the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods I've been using springs a couple months now, but the Townshend Pods only about a week. The Pods are much better than anything else, even better than after spending a lot of time fine-tuning other springs. They are just an altogether more highly r... | |
| How would you compare The PS Audio Stellar Phono amp to the Aeasthetix Rhea Saturn. You are in the price range of the Herron VTPH2A, an exceptionally fine phono stage for which there are few reviews. Do a search though, you will find plenty of rave reviews from happy owners such as myself. Possibly might even be comments from a f... | |
| How it works! From a common man. The question of WHY something works is mixed up all the time with DOES it in fact work. Which makes no sense they are two completely different questions yet people all the time act as if something cannot work until and unless it can be explained h... | |
| XLR balanced cables, best bang for t ht e buck? Best bang for the buck is RCA. | |
| Audiophile metal albums AKUS, steel guitar. Does that count? | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation Of course with streaming music of vinyl quality is unobtainable at any price, I think you meant to say. The great mass of people abandoned the quality of records for the convenience of CD. It has taken a very long time, decades in fact (and is ong... | |
| Audiophile metal albums What do you mean, metal? Steel or alloy? Cast or forged? | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters This thread is yet another wonderful illustration of why its such a waste of time for audiophiles to talk tech. Its all well and good for engineers and designers. But with audiophiles all that happens is the same BS just different words. When w... | |
| Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? Then I saw new Thorens and Garrard selling at $15K and $20K. The high price tag must be due to the popularity of the vintage models and strong following. The popularity may be due to their true superb performance or possibly due to hype or nos... | |
| Which tubes are the best? I've run tube integrateds using 6550 or KT88 for well over 25 years. Yes there are differences between tubes but nowhere near enough to me to be worth changing (rolling) just for the sake of change. Tried it, no thanks, bigger fish to fry.That sai... | |
| Remodel causes 60Hz ground loop Only the music server is affected. Vinyl playback not affected. Runs everything through Furman 15i Elite conditioner.Any ideas about approach for ridding the system of this? No, because its not the system. Its the server. | |
| Professional Turntable Set Up in Kentucky? Fascinating. For so long now I have been dreaming of driving around seeing the whole country, but never could figure out how to afford all that travel. Turns out all I had to do was quit telling people how anyone can set up a turntable. Its all fa... | |
| New to Vinyl. Need help on how to match components, cartridge, etc... @millercarbon I have Bryston 7B3 amps which have a very low input impedance (7.5k unbalanced / 5k balanced) so I stuck with a Bryston Premp which has an output impedance of 72 ohms. This is my concern. Yes well there you go. So you know first... | |
| To upgrade/repair or not...Thorens TD165 Sitting that long, been there, the bearing will be dry. Clean and lube it, put the new belt on. Clean and lube everything else you possibly can. Spin some vinyl. See how it goes. | |
| How it works! From a common man. Either that, or the ends are a thermal mass and the middle being the point furthest from being able to conduct heat away is where the heat builds up the most. |
