| Beyond Boutique Speakers The definition of "boutique" implies a small, exclusive business that specializes on their specific product or style of products and that offers customized service. Any small business specializing in making speakers should meet the definition o... | |
| Looking to identify a cable. How do I load pictures? If you are a member at audioasylum, then go to their cableasylum site and post a picture of the cable. Their moderator Duster is quite knowledgeable and is usually able to help with those identifications, or somebody else will - usually. | |
| Looking to identify a cable. How do I load pictures? @mikelavigne Are you thinking of Audio Circle or some other site? Audio Asylum does facilitate pictures on their forum threads, I just posted a picture to a thread last week. | |
| Thinking about the good old days... @dsper Ever shop at Dodd’s Record Shop, or....Believe in Music (records and paraphernalia) back in the day in GR? | |
| Thinking about the good old days... Back then, once your system achieved the level of dynamics and tone that suited your tastes, it became all about the music.I spent more than a few happy years with a Sansui 5000 series receiver (i.e.,pre, amp, tuner), Phillips 212 turntable (later... | |
| Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's Sound Anchor stands can make it easier to use some of these footers, like the Townshend pod solution outlined by @bdp24. Unfortunately, the 8 I would need for my main speakers would still cost me around $1K. The springs I am currently using under ... | |
| Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's Townshend formerly used air-platforms as a method of isolating equipment and speakers from vibrations (i.e., Townshend Seismic Sink) and have since switched to using pre-compressed, damped, springs in the form of the Townshend Seismic Isolation ... | |
| Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's Whether you try the Gaia footers or Herbie’s products (Giant Fat Gliders or Giant Threaded Stud Gliders), I would try them directly on the carpet. The Herbie’s stuff comes with a 60-day trial period. Check our Herbie’s website. Like the previous p... | |
| Why do I need an additional player device if I have a Roon nucleus and a dac? Based on the reviews I have read, I do not consider the Nucleus overly expensive for what you get, and the build quality. If I ever needed to replace my Antipodes DX I would not hesitate to consider a Nucleus Plus with an internal or external dri... | |
| Manufacturers +1 @firstonetallguy Every action has a consequence, some are good and some are bad.The consequence of you "getting it" wrt creating a culture of customer service was the difference between your company being the "oldest establishment of this kind ... | |
| Interesting discovery when my carpets were cleaned yesterday! @team212 Stand Mount speakers do not seem to benefit from Footers /Isolators/etc.You cannot lump all stand mount speakers together. Some are small light boxes on lightweight stands, others like Harbeth 40 series speakers are even heavier but ha... | |
| Manufacturers @asvjerry The ’small co.’ doesn’t have that luxury; likely doesn’t have Any.Weekends for the little company guy exists as a concept, and happen when they do, despite what the calendar may show....;)Truth to what you say, especially for successful ... | |
| Manufacturers At the end of the day, you and only you can decide what is important, and then you have the privilege of voting with your wallet.Any business owner that doesn't recognize the value of responding quickly and effectively to their clients and prospec... | |
| Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together?? They did that and called it Antipodes DX.Some believed servers sound better with the ripper mechanism removed and others believed separating the core and endpoint improve the sound of Roon so they developed the CX/EX solution. They admirably offe... | |
| Springs under turntable @lewm as is so often the case in this hobby, we have a phenomenon on one hand and a hypothesis on the other, and we marry them often without much evidence.Shocker! 😎 |
