How to tell if your AC wiring needs an upgrade
What is the N-E voltage? What should it read? ozzy  
Thoughts on Shunyata and Transparent?
nyev, No, in my case once I added the demo /used (well broken in) Shunyata Sigma V2 power cord things went backwards in sound quality. I believe it was mostly due to the power conditioner I am using. (Niagara 7000). Perhaps if the conditioner wa... 
Thoughts on Shunyata and Transparent?
I hope this helps. I also tried the Shunyata Sigma V2 NR cable and the Audioquest Hurricane along with so many others through the years. The Shunyata did not have the openness and dynamics that I was hoping for based on my Shunyata Sigma V2 inter... 
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
As clockwork, the newest Dragon now has about 125 hours on it and it is starting to open up and excel. ozzy  
Isolation Feet Upgrade
After many footer iterations, I found the Critical Mass footers to be the best under my equipment. They have a strange break in as they adjust to the weight of the component. Price point may be a factor, but it will be a good investment towards t... 
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
Well I have the Critical Mass footers under my equipment. ozzy  
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
curiousjim, After reviewing your speakers, I do think that the Gaia’s would work better. The design is such that the outriggers support the speakers. ozzy  
Grounding cable gauge size
tecknik, Well I am still experimenting. I have removed the Russ Andrews ground lead to my Niagara 7000. I think the Niagara does more ground clean up by itself. So, today I have the Russ Andrews unit leads to the chassis of my Lumin X1 power sup...

seanheis1, I am just stating my ACTUAL experience since I own both the Gaias and the Townshends. No plugs just trying to share information. ozzy  
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
jdub39, I am using the Furutech NCF Rhodium I have 6 of them on my 3 dedicated lines. But, I hear ya and I may get a Audioquest Edison specifically for my Niagara 7000. ozzy  
Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today
I do think there is something about this wires design that did not mesh with my equipment. More resistance? I dunno. I am using tubes amps and when I tried these cables the bass, treble and dynamics was anemic. It had a good midrange though. And,... 
most beautiful (looking) speakers
I kinda like the look of my Focal Sopra 2's. ozzy  
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
curiousjim, The only reason I would remove your metal plate is because you said it has bumps on it from where the spikes are to go. That could be a problem with stability. So, if it is easy to remove I would. BTW, once the podiums are installed... 
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
Now this is just my opinion, but I think part of the Podiums effectiveness is due to the fact they they are connected to a very stable and rigid steel platform. They work together as one unit. I don't think the pods by themselves would be as effe... 
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
I had the Gaia 1’s under my Sopra 2 speakers and was quite impressed with them. Then one of threads talked about the Townshend podiums. I contacted them via email (in England) and they responded the next day. I ordered them and once installed I c...
