| Anyone Know What's Up With Townshend Audio? I will say that their room at the NY Audio Show in 2015? was excruciating. I first heard the Rock in the 80s playing The Wall. I'd never heard it so clean with superb bass. This, on the other hand was searingly bright and colorless. | |
| Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable 24"x24"x3" maple block rests on small felt pads on a light open steel frame table spiked to the concrete. | |
| Lehmannaudio Black Cube SE II Both are MM and the standard input 47k should be fine. What are you hearing? Maybe it simply isn't as good.Have a look at this which covers some of this.https://www.analogplanet.com/content/lehmann-audio-black-cube-se-ii-mmmc-phono-preamp-reviewed | |
| Have you recently lost a close audiophile buddy? What has it taught you? Lost a pal 20 years ago. He was an opinionated bastard, yet a patient guiding force when I was new to all this. An opera singer and smoker. No cares about the big house falling down around him as long as he had the music. Big room, tall ceilings. ... | |

| Thorens Turntables TBH, they look gorgeous but I'd be inclined to look for a Thorens 124, a Lenco 75 or a Garrard 301/401 especially as you are looking at close to $2k. | |
| Thorens Turntables Re Art of Sound Thorens. Avoid the 316/318/320. I had a 318 and found it quite dull and plodding. | |
| In search of respectable/reasonable tube amps with 16 ohm taps @salectric Agreed on the Wondercaps. My StuRem 35s have 3 chokes and K40Y caps. They sound amazing. | |
| Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go Please post about how the new one sounds. | |
| In search of respectable/reasonable tube amps with 16 ohm taps Not sure if these are still available but if they are, buy them. You will not regret it. I use them in two different rigs. http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649379679-eico-hf35-tube-monoblocks-stu-remington-modifications/ | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Sounds great. You are on the right track staying away from huge belt drives! I'm relegated to the basement so no huge inclination to advance much further than where I am. One advantage is concrete floor and walls. Biggest challenge is getting grea... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable @spiritofmusic Nothing to add other than admiration for your tenacity. It must sound wonderful. Are Transfi out of business? | |
| Review: Quad 57 Okay. Took the grills off. Used a feather duster to remove a pretty thick layer of dust from the dust covers.There is a definite difference to the presentation. First off, better high frequency response - cymbals shine and shimmer. Definite improv... | |
| how to connect power for amps @czbbcl It's definitely a step up but with only 14 gauge cable, 15amp with a trip switch, it's not great. Do they make others? | |
| how to connect power for amps Make your own with some P&S or Hubble 8300 hospital grade and a plastic gang box. Use Albert Porter’s if you want to spend a little more.http://www.porterhouseaudio.com/Porter-ports.htm |
