| Isolation Feet Recommendation for Equipment Rack Neither style was quite right for me so I just took em apart ditched the bracket and put the Pods two per corner. No pics of that yet.I’m not sure how it will look like after you took them apart but you will still need 2 units supporting 1 pillar ... | |
| Isolation Feet Recommendation for Equipment Rack Thanks for the recommendation. These look pretty unique with a pair consisting of 2 units supporting a point load. One feet looks better than a pair of feet but I guess that’s the way Townshend products work. If I ever end up with these, they will... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components Hi Robert. You brought up an important subject. The equipment rack in my main system is Finite Elemente Spider with Ceraball Spider feet at each supporting level and Cerabase footers at the bottom of the 4 pillars. The equipment rack in my 2nd sys... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components Reading the finicky setup of the Nobsound, in my limited experience this applies to the Isoacoustics Gaia too but perhaps to a lesser extent. Most people will just take things for granted, setting up the footers and then expect them to work well w... | |
| LFD Advice? My single experience with LFD Zero LEIII. Glorious treble and midrange with a fast, tight and tuneful bass. Very good integrated if you like a very open sound and illuminating treble which has a certain tube like quality to it. Drawbacks include b... | |
| Isoacoustics' Gaia eliminated a 120Hz mode Another point is the Gaias have rated capacities to cater for different loadings. This just shows the importance of loading them correctly. They will fall out of the performance envelope if not properly loaded. I presume it is better to have a hig... | |
| Isoacoustics' Gaia eliminated a 120Hz mode I read somewhere that with a correctly set up Gaia (logo facing the front or rear), the speakers can sway slightly from side to side but stay firm on the other axis without any movement at all. As for leveling, agreed that it doesn’t make much sen... | |
| Accuphase E-480 Lalitk, Thanks for the comprehensive and detailed impressions on the E650. Very well written, certainly useful and appreciated. I’m not going to add much here. I pretty much agree with your thoughts on synergy and the merits of Class A solid-state... | |
| Isoacoustics' Gaia eliminated a 120Hz mode Give it few days to settle down. In my experience the bass and everything showed more presence and impact after few days of settling down. Basically a more fleshed out and open sound with improved clarity and macrodynamics.I am not sure if this is... | |
| Isoacoustics' Gaia eliminated a 120Hz mode I use a pair of Gaia II with Marten Duke 2. The Gaias are very effective as they improved everything across the frequency spectrum. The largest improvement was with the bass but the midrange and treble also gained some clarity and sophistication. ... | |
| Does anyone own the Magico Mini 2? I appreciate that some people may want to live the dreams they had many years ago, nothing wrong with that. Nevertheless, I would agree with few posts here that things have improved with advancement in technology, research and development. The mat... | |
| Accuphase E-480 Just sent you PM via Audiogon. Is it appropriate or convenient to post the impressions on the E650 or E480 over here? As far as I know the E650 is very good, quite a bit better than the 480. | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components Thanks for the update. Would be interested to know how the Oreas would compare to the Nobsound once power is restored. | |
| FI-28 (R) IEC Connector Bad Buy? In total, I have the FI 28 Connector now played 20 hours. Of course I know that with time everything will stabilize a bit... but I wonder if this is possibly also the character of rhodium. I don't know about the F28 but the GTX-D NCF duplex requ... | |
| FI-28 (R) IEC Connector Bad Buy? Do consider the Furutech GTX-D NCF duplex outlet. This one combined with good power cords is heaven. I do not have experience with Furutech plugs or power cords but did look at the various options when I was looking for a high quality power cord e... |
