HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping.
111art,If everything is ok, why renegotiate with the seller? I'm sure he also went through a lot of pain worrying about the shipment.Just be grateful he was a stand up dude and pay him.ozzy 
Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's
After looking at the Townshend website, it does look like you could just slide the bars under the speakers without having to turn the speakers upside down to anchor them. But, you must be real careful the speakers don’t become unstable before you ...

gdnrbob, Thanks Bob, I will let you know.sjsfiveo,I think the bars would be very difficult to install on heavy speakers and then lift them up to set them in place.Otherwise, I'm not sure.ozzy

Well I have the Iso-Acoustic Gaia #1's under my Focal Sopra 2's speakers, and I really like them. But, being the Audiophile always looking for something better, I just ordered the Townshend #3 speaker platforms.Hopefully, they will arrive in the...

DAC's with volume control question
George,Probably a poor choice of words on my part. I meant to imply that the Lumin X1 volume control is unique and does not loose digital bits in its operation as the other dacs I have used. The volume is controlled by a process called LEEDH. With... 
DAC's with volume control question
Every dac up to my current one (Lumin X1) that had volume capability seemed to reduce detail (reduced bits).ozzy 
Recommendations for Power Conditioner Upgrade From Old Shunyata Hydra 8
dweller,Actually with my Niagara 7000 I found the Hurricane HC power cable sort of tame. My DIY power cable is much better.ozzy 
PS Direct Stream Vs. Wyred 4 Sound Dac.
For what its worth I ended up buying a Lumin X1.It has sonic qualities 2.5 times that of the Direct Stream Dac. Probably costs that much more too!It seems like I have had it longer than a year though. I traded the PS DS, my Ayre Preamp, sold the e... 
Recommendations for Power Conditioner Upgrade From Old Shunyata Hydra 8
I agree with stereo5. The Niagara 7000 is quite impressive especially with power amps!ozzy

Focal Sopra 2
winsome993,I have not tried tilting the speaker upward but, with the Iso Acoustic Gaii 1 footers they do raise the speaker a little higher than the included footers.samzx12,Perhaps the lower or older model Focal’s could be considered brighter soun...
