| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! @bdp24 Sounds interesting! How big are the sheets you received?Also, do they have an odor? I've seen quite a few comments by people who have bought more industrial-oriented sound isolation materials that they can give off quite a chemical smell. | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! My turntable feet are pointed so the manufacturer must agree with you.I'm thinking of putting a sounddamped steel disc under each point of the foot. Couldn't hurt, seem to me. | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Thanks geoff. Townsend has several different pods/springs rated for a certain amount of weight, so I'd ordered the correct ones based on my calculation of the weight of my turntable/maple block base. So in theory I should be good.I go back and f... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! @geoffkait The Townsend springs clearly isolate whatever is above them from vibrations coming from below. So from exterior vibration. My main concern has been what is the effect adding those springs in terms of the system vibration itself (turntab... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! All points taken, fellers!I really am listening to everyone, though at this point I have so many voices in my ear it's easy to become derailed. I have no idea how to figure out the resonant frequency of my turntable, stand or base.So at this poin... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? I was in a local high end store today to purchase some records and it was a thoroughly pleasant experience. They had some nice speaker playing so I sat to listen. A salesman asked if he could help me at all. I explained I wasn't currently in th... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Reporting in for a moment:I just finished some more vibration testing with some of the materials I’ve ordered.First: I am ordering a 2 1/2" thick maple base for the turntable to sit on.So it goes: Lovan rack, 3/4" MDF blue-tacked to top metal brac... | |
| Mapleshade Isolation: Does Nothing? You mean you've discovered a high end audio tweak actually does nothing audible?I'm astonished ;-) | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? I've heard the GE reference. I think it's a lot of speaker for the money.Though I personally find them tonally boring. | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! Good info about the anti-mode, willemj.I've heard that it's not quite transparent enough for some people when used over the entire system, but works well on just the sub signal. Sounds like that set up worked for you. | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! Great responses, thanks!snapsc,I like my Conrad Johnson tube preamp/amp too much to switch to solid state. Every time I've tried SS I've run back to tubes. Learned my lesson. (I believe the crossover I'm going to use will pass along the charact... | |
| No love for Verity? I've been able to have good listening sessions to several verity speakers, including the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation.Verity is one of those speakers that are pleasant, very competent, musical, and I get why they have their fans...yet I'm unmoved... | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! Little update:I managed to get sound happening to the subs via my pre-amp outputs (turned out to be stupid user error. I had to crank the output level of the subs far more than I imagined vs using the high level inputs).Some listening yielded the... | |
| ROON help needed Good to know pophaudio.I'm planning to move from a raspberri pie/squeezebox platform to Roon, because I like the idea of the better Tidal integration and the added track/artist info. I just hope I like the iPad app for Roon as much as I like the i... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Although I won't waste an audio store owner's time, on the subject of "value added," for the most part I don't get much value added specifically from the dealer. From the store and the ability to audition a piece of gear, yes. But all the rest ... |
