| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review millercarbon: " The bottom line then is completely the opposite. The population of things that could be improvements is getting bigger. Not only that, it is no longer "could" but now with experience I know it is "will". Like for example the last... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review ozzy4 - the same EXACT thing happened to me. The packages got separated and one was delivered on Thurs. and the other on Mon. Something that might be helpful - find a level area and level these things before placing them on the floor at which poin... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review millercarbon: There is a good deal of skepticism about these things and I think I may understand why. At a certain point in the development and "perfection" of an audio system you have likely already tried many, many things that make intuitive se... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review I also have tried and purchased Townshend Podiums. I have placed them under Linn Akurate speakers and I have to say they have resulted in a considerable improvement in my system. The improvement is not subtle and all one needs to do is to walk aro... | |
| Cart adjustment, that moment when you nail it! Fooling and forever trying to improve your system is what keeps this a hobby and a forever enjoyable endeavor. Once it's right, the time will creep up on you when you will again be looking for further improvement because it can always get better. ... | |
| Help me tame my out of control bass Like many of us, I have also struggled with bass - too much, too little, uneven room response, etc. I recently purchased some Townshend Seismic Podium isolation devices. These are essentially steel platforms with spring loaded adjustable cylinders... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? Speakers are so dependent on placement within the room it sounds like it is a 2 fold problem - the room and the placement. I have experienced similar problems with my Linn speakers. One thing that I would suggest trying is elevating, slightly, the... | |
| Why Don't More People Into Music Reproduction At Home Play Around With Musical Instruments I am wondering how similar any instrument played in your living room sounds compared to the same instrument in a completely different setting with different acoustics, with, likely, electronic sound equipment being used and the instrument played i... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? If I understand this somewhat elitist approach correctly, I will no longer be able to appreciate music for what it is unless I learn to play an instrument and can add personal touches to my favorite tunes. I am so disappointed. | |
| How Do You Live The Audiophile Life I'm not sure there is any secret to the "audiophile life" other than to create a sound that pleases you. Many people strive to reach what the music would sound like live but for me at least that is a difficult standard to reach. I have been to n... | |

| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? Try contacting Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services. He sounds as though he has been around for a while and he is both patient and very helpful. I have a Modwright modded Oppo 105D and I struggled to find the right tubes. Andy was very helpful in ... | |

| Subwoofer insight. See if it is possible to try the subs before you purchase or it you are able to return if you chose to do so. Feeling like you're missing something is likely to be exactly what will keep you in this hobby and chasing that sound forever. I think mo... | |
| what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'?? For the record, Stereo Review morphed into Sound and Vision. Like many of us, I began reading Stereo Review at a young age when I wasn't quite sure what this hobby was all about. It did, if not always 100% accurate, always provide material that fe... |
