| Best portable DSD DAC for iPhone? @rocketroom The Chord Mojo connected via a lightning cable would be a good option here; retail price is $550 but it is often found used for $300. | |
| NYC/NJ Turntable Setup Expert @audioconnection Got your email last week, thanks for getting back to me and no worries at all about the delay. Will be giving you a call during business hours!@elliottbnewcombjr My sincere apologies on the delayed response, I have been in the mi... | |
| NYC/NJ Turntable Setup Expert Joey, Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. I actually emailed Audio Connection last week inquiring about this and they never responded to me, sadly. | |
| NYC/NJ Turntable Setup Expert The Herb endorsement is very strong, can't deny that!Audio Nexus is the closest Hana dealer in my area, but I haven't heard much on them. Audio Connection I've heard nothing but great things and I've been hoping to do business with them! | |
| NYC/NJ Turntable Setup Expert Thank you, Herb. I've seen Michael Trei in my previous searches, good to hear another recommendation on him! | |
| NYC/NJ Turntable Setup Expert I have a downforce scale, all the tools, protractor, etc.; I've actually done it before. It's not a hard process, but for a reasonable sum of money or through a dealer whom I may purchase the cartridge from, I'd rather have somebody else do it. Th... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker I'm going to have to disagree with the assertion that one must spend an inordinate amount of money in order to achieve some isolation benefit. It certainly doesn't cost IsoAcoustics $1,000+ to make isolation feet and neither should it have to for ... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker What would the price point be for a 12-pack of the Teo Audio diamond dampers?Jakesnak, the hockey puck idea is believable; I played hockey and certainly know how resilient that 6 oz of vulcanized rubber can be! As you own the Gaia's, is it indeed ... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker alucard19, the price is certainly right on those pads! For that price, can't hurt to try em. Not high on the physical appeal value, but function is function. The Gaia line of isolators looks great but I just cannot justify spending that kind of mo... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker Thanks all for the suggestions thus far. Herbie's products seem to be sensible thus far, the gliders adding a nice mobility element to it all. The Gaia Titans look like a solution, as well....alas, I'm not quite at the level where I can spend $2,5... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker I agree with you, Geoff; beyond the complexity of building such a support for such large speakers, I'd have fears over their stability. The washing machine anti-vibration pads seem like a genius idea. They sure would be able to hold the weight, an... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker wspohn,That's a good suggestion. I've see a lot of debate regarding the spikes + discs combination and whether it couples the speaker to the floor or decouples it; I can't say I know enough to confirm it either way, but I certainly could use help... | |
| Alta Audio Rhea - Driver Question sunshdw,This looks spot on, thank you! I figured the ribbon was a Fountek, couldn't figure out the woofer at all but those both seem to be it.Really appreciate it! |
