| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? Townshend has a couple videos that use a iPad running a seismic app that displays vibrations very well. This works great for speakers, but the iPad is too heavy for testing smaller isolation gear. I tried an iPhone app, even the iPhone is way too ... | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat eMats were good for what they were, see my review. There's way better stuff now though. | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question In the beginning and for quite some time all my efforts were with speaker cables. Power cords and interconnects were routed away from each other, but with no attempt at isolation. Until one day I had all these extra speaker cable elevators layin... | |
| Get out and listen! That reminds me, one of the most amazing things I ever heard was Holly Cole at the Showbox. This intimate dinner/jazz club seated only about 100 or so. The show started with no one on stage. No announcer. No introduction. Everyone was chatting whe... | |
| Help Building an Audio Room Pick up a copy of Robert Harley’s Complete Guide to High End Audio. There you will learn why it is so desirable that room dimensions not be multiples of each other. He even shows how to calculate and map room modes. Slap echo is a function of unb... | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question Snilf, you are not deluded, and your friend (and anyone else lauding coupling) is misunderstanding the big picture. Yes in theory, in the perfect world of imagination (utopia, literally “nowhere”) then being fixed and unmoving is the way to go. ... | |
| Get out and listen! Redmond is 20 min from Edmonds, and you are welcome anytime. Not Benaroya, not from where you are used to at any rate, but I have been way up in the balcony where it actually sounds better at home. In any case what you said about live acoustic in... | |

| Pass labs upgrade path Thanks, Doug. fyi, thousands back you up. Literally, thousands. That is how many visits I had when my site launched. 3.7 thousand, to be precise. Therefore fair to estimate hundreds if not thousands have benefited from this advice: Nobsound if on ... | |
| Benz Micro Glider Stylus protection I had one for years. Your fear is all in your head. If you do get or make one however, two points to keep in mind. First, if your guard requires mounting and removal, or even flipping up and down, this alone puts your fingers far closer to damage... | |
| Pass labs upgrade path I'm using the Townshend Allegri Reference with my Pass XA25 and hard to imagine anything more transparent. Being passive it uses only a small wall wart to power remote and display, so money saved on one less power cord. The chassis with dedicated ... | |
| The character of analog and digital Oppo long gone. The digital was modern high end and brought by a guy certain it would put my vinyl to shame. Instead it was his wife that released a sigh of unexpected pleasure practically the instant the stylus touched down. The two reactions I w... | |
| PSA: Short Unused Speakers and Subs in the Listening Room roxy54- Yes I am back. Thanks. ratboysr- You are one of the reasons why. Well, sort of. In a way. In the sense you represent the sort of readers I never really knew about, but are out there. Something that didn't hit home until I launched my webs... | |
| The character of analog and digital Thanks. Good to be back. That Mark Baker interview by the way, very enlightening. | |
| The character of analog and digital I tend to agree with Mark Baker of Origin Live and his three pillars of sound quality: dynamics, tonality, and clarity. Even these three however can be broken down extensively. Dynamics for example can refer to the greatest range soft to loud, or ... |
