A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
Oh if I'm selling them I'll definitely go through them first.  But also as fate would have it, we recently had a small flood in the basement area where they were stored.  The front part of the box containing some of the records was soaked.  I have... 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
Thanks for all the replies. I was as much simply curious what other people would do in the same situation, as for looking for advice.I had not even considered the legal aspect of the whole thing. So I’m glad some raised that issue.I’m not looking ... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar – Original vs. Graphene opinions?
Interesting rlb61where you the one a while back who switched to the graphene Pulsars and found the bass too big in your room?I auditioned the Perspective graphene and the bass was a bit too much, but they weren’t set up well - too close together a... 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
Thanks Mike.What if I’m able to find him to suggest a decision: either pick them up, or put in writing (email) that he has given them to me.? 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
Thanks for the replies so far.Cripes almighty I never considered getting lawyers involved.(No I don't have any document of the loan that I recall - perhaps an old bank statement, but that's water under the bridge that I'm not going to re-visit)I'm... 
Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
As for the Nobsound, there's this negative take on this product, Interesting, the reviewer noted some of the negatives I noticed with those footers too. (E.g. a bit too recessed in the lower mids, lost richness). 
Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE.
Ugh.  I occasionally like Steve's videos, but his Super Click Bait titles and topics are off-putting. 
Joseph Audio Pulsar – Original vs. Graphene opinions?
"Harsh" is just about the last word to describe Joseph speakers.  This is a case where the unanimous reviews have it right, where they basically all note how smooth, unmechanical and hash-free the Joseph Pulsars sound.   It would be even moreso li... 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
mahgister,Interesting solution!   It must be really sonically satisfying. I'm sensitive to aesthetics in my set up, so would be very unlikely to employ such a tweak.In fact I've been shedding gear.   Just sold off my subwoofers, crossover.The room...

Well, I’ve completed my Townshend Speaker Bars experience.I shipped them back to Townshend.First, please understand the following is just my experience/preference, not a diss of the Townshend products. I still use the wonderful Townshend pods unde... 
Thiel Owners
One point about my situation is that I move my speakers probably more than most people.  For one thing, I swap in various speakers (sometimes my Thiels, sometime my Joseph Audio speakers, occasionally different speakers).   Plus I do play around w... 
Thiel Owners
sdl4,Unfortunately you are asking for clarification on the one comparison I feel less sure about.It's been quite a while since I had spikes under my 2.7s.   The 2.7s were second hand and didn't come with spikes.  But since I also owned the 3.7s at... 
Thiel Owners
sdl4,Funny you should ask :-)I’ve been going through just those experiments again.I’m sure it will be room and listener dependent. My Thiel 2.7s are on a carpeted wood floor.I have tried herbies footers, sliders, spikes, various forms of decouplin... 
What's your dream speaker?
One of the best moves I have ever made as an audiophile - this will apply to a certain percentage of frustrated hobbyists - was to abandon the search for "the One", the purported speaker that would sound perfect, and seek variety. I have found ... 
My Experience With Tekton
Tekton is an interesting brand.  I'd never own them on looks and size alone, but I'd really like to hear them some day just to see what the hype is about.  (And not to deflated the hype...just out of curiosity)
