| enough amplifier power There was a thread a while back that went something like this, "if you were starting over, what would you do differently"If given a do-over, the one thing I would do differently would be to start with more efficient speakers that were an easier lo... | |
| Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer? How about the case where the balanced out provides the signal for the main amplifiers and the single-ended out provides the signal to a pair of subwoofers? Both of these signals come out of a buffered, unity gain preamp. | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review @mglik , I use SRA platforms under my monoblocks and am very satisfied with the result for that application - a good product. | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review I also get annoyed when certain people spout utter nonsense Finally, we have an expert on "utter nonsense"That ought to help cut down on all the arguing | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review Spikes vs. Isolation for SpeakersHere is an interesting video with measurements.Yes, it is from an isolation base manufacturer, but interesting to me is that they not only compare their own product to spikes but also to Townshend’s platforms, whic... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review If you know your load, what your speaker or whatever weighs, take that weight and divide by 3 or 4, the number of springs you want to use. That gives you your load per spring.I just went through this last fall and one thing I realized is that th... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review @mijostyn If you really want to scare yourself get a seismometer app for your phone, put the phone on your platter and start banging around. If you see even the tinniest squiggle on the phone you have a problem.Another way to consider it would be ... | |
| Coupling/Decoupling Electronics I agree with @mahgister - springs.I would first try them without all the other suggested doo-dads.However, you may want to try damping them with some foam inside each spring or thin heat shrink outside each (but not shrunk down too tight). may | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass @celtic66 +1I agree with celtic66, the Mystique was a bit of a game changer DAC for me with a more natural sound than the DACs I had before, and a power, fullness, and depth to the bass that reminds me more of real music than I hear from other DAC... | |
| The indisputable benefit of fiber for music Hi Rich,The info for the MC200CM says "10/100/1000Mbps." So does that mean it "always" operates at the max 1Gb/S? I did order two of the MC100CM converters so if I want to try the ENO I will have the appropriate Ethernet out speed.I am strongly... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review I too have come to appreciate the benefit of springs under my speakers and electronic gear. Last year, I was able to find appropriately sized springs to support my heavy speakers, subs, monoblock amplifiers, and server. After reading about the T... | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass Add two high quality, powered subwoofers, or a swarm system. | |
| The indisputable benefit of fiber for music You are apparently using plug-in SFP devices. I am using the linked stand-alone converters and powering the one located in the vicinity of my gear with an HD Plex LPS instead of the wall-wort that it came with. | |
| The indisputable benefit of fiber for music @anzaanimalclinic Found that choice of SFP's will make or break the deal.What specifically did you find out about choosing the best SFP converter? Which do you recommend for best sound?Another question to all you ENO owners who also use fiber is ... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? One circuit may be the optimal way to go, but some who have really powerful amplifiers may want more power than 15 (or even 20) amps for the whole system. Also, some don't care for conditioners/filters and would rather plug their gear directly in... |
