| How important is the rack you use for your components Hi Dave,I generally enjoy your contributions, especially regarding speakers.However, your post seems to comprise just the type of anecdotes I’m talking about when I speak of the unreliable methods used in high end audio circles. The “if I thought ... | |
| How important is the rack you use for your components roxySure, that’s what I presumed. That’s not of course “science.” Which was simply my point.I get that we all report our subjective experiences - I’ve been doing it like everyone else. But sometimes it’s good to keep some perspective on the reliab... | |
| Thiel Owners arvincastro,I own Thiel 2.0, 2.7 and the last flagship 3.7 speakers. I’ve also in the past had the big Thiel CS6 speakers.For me the combination of Thiels and tube amplification is magic.Previous to hearing Thiels on tubes I’d always heard them on... | |
| How important is the rack you use for your components Roxy If you were doing science you would be controlling the variables, including the variable of bias, when testing for the audible effects of a rack on a piece of gear.Have you been doing that? (The mantra “Trust your ears” is really no different... | |
| How important is the rack you use for your components PolkaloverComing to an audiophile forum and asking if changing something will affect the sound is like visiting a New Age Therapy Fair and asking people “do you think this crystal bracelet will help my arthritis?” The answer you’ll get is “Of cou... | |

| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! thanks bdp24. Good to know. | |
| 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 ;-) |
