| Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's I leveled mine by the base. The top would be difficult to level because of the slanted top. With the Townshend's that would be not needed. ozzy | |
| Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's Never tried or heard of the Revopod, but with my Focal Sopra 2's I found the Townshend Podium #3 to be wayyy better than the Gaia 1's. They really transformed the sound quality i.e. bass and soundstage quality. Highly recommended. Ozzy | |

| Cable supports on the cheap... AudioQuest Fog Lifters are pretty inexpensive (8-$149) look kinda cool and seem to work pretty well. ozzy | |
| High Fidelity Cables? I use the "newer" Pro formula which I have been told is newer over the Q45T, and NPS 1260. I just applied it to my new speaker cables. I would describe the sound as more whole or rounded sounding. The music sounds more natural. I am impressed. o... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 I have tried so many cables through the years. I must admit I do like the Infigo Signature XLR and USB cables. Even though I had many problems with the distributor. They have a very dynamic sound quality that bettered anything I have tried or own... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. CCR- "Green River". I still play it often after all these years. ozzy | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything I have owned many dynamic type speakers throughout my life. But I do like the open Planar/Electrostatic sound. I like very much the Martin Logan or even the Magnepan sound, but there always seemed to be tradeoffs, especially in the bass. Never hea... | |

| Tung-Sol kt170 tube started glowing brighter kitegod, I have never used KT-170 tubes only the KT-120. Perhaps you can find a used KT-170 with low hours on it, I would definitely replace the one that you describe is glowing different than the others. Somewhere down the line, if you keep tha... | |
| Footers- Break In? Such A Change. gbmcleod, You are right on. I just got some new very heavy (140lb ea.) amps and I waited until they were broken in before adding the CM footers. Now, with the footers underneath, they really add extra depth and realism. BTW, I have the CM under ... | |
| Is my amp good enough? Looking at the Stereophile review, consider the statement below. "The Monitor Audio needs to be partnered with an amplifier that is comfortable driving low impedances." ozzy | |
| Whats playing on your system today? +1 jafant, Hall & Oates- A few selected songs... quite impressive. It’s been a long time since I have heard these songs. ozzy | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? The first power cord that really impressed me was the Synergistic Master Coupler. Before that, I always thought that all that was needed was AC and a power cable. "Afterall, with the miles of AC cabling running from the power station to my house, ... | |
| Puritan psm 156 vs. Audioquest Niagra 5000/7000 I have not used the Puritan; they seem to be highly regarded and are quite a bit cheaper than the Niagara. I do own the AudioQuest Niagara 7000 and when I added the AudioQuest Dragon Power cord to the Niagara the overall sonic performance increase... |
