| Has Anyone Here Tried The SVS Soundpath Feet On A Rel Sub? Blu-Tac is the opposite of isolation. It actually fixes or fastens things together. My HFT are held on the walls and speakers with Blu-Tac. Next best thing to hot glue. Anyone telling you this is isolation don't walk, run. They are clueless.Sorry.... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? Yeah, you are missing the inconvenient fact that the ringing can clearly be seen on the scope. The signal is fast, but not speed of light fast. Nor do electrons travel by the way. Some do but by far the majority of the signal is wave propagation, ... | |
| Budget High Current Power Cords Budget high current, why not take 2 or 3 freebie power cords, cut the ends and solder em all into one? Wouldn't that be three times the current? With four or 5 you could get lots of current. How much current are we talking anyway? | |
| Isolation Feet Recommendation for Equipment Rack I have gone from spikes and cones to springs and Townshend Pods. My turntable rack is 750lbs. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 For most of the 20+ years it was on BDR Cones, with the turntable and phono stage on BDR Shelf and Cones, like ... | |

| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? One silly semi-literate post after another...Right. This really vexes me. If only the silliness were literate. Or even less tendentious. Or just plain short. Brevity is the soul of wit. Like that. | |
| Is it Possible?? The higher you go in frequency the more it radiates out towards the front in the direction the speakers are pointed. Standing behind the speakers you are getting almost none of the highest frequency treble. Higher frequencies are also very easily ... | |
| A pitch too High! ^^THIS!just before the stylus landed on the record, it skipped back a bit then hit the record. Sometimes the tonearm would skip all the way out of the record, backwards. WTF? Explain. How does it skip BEFORE hitting the record???! Cartridge body h... | |
| How to listen /audition at audio shows? That's a good point there, when you know how to listen you can do it even over a YT video. When you don't then nothing ever will do, and so instead you spend your whole life thinking up excuses why you can't, or sometimes maybe childish put-downs,... | |
