| Isolation systems @rsf507 Due to a few purchases I made(audio related), I had to hold off on the footers. The Nordost Fut’s, would add too much height to my rack. So, I’m leaning towards the Carbide Audio Sapphire footers and the Townshend seismic corners as a seco... | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? You have to mix it up a little with Tone Loc’s Funky Cold Medina. | |
| What is your top sexy song? My favorite sexy song is, well I have two by the same singer that definitely go together. It’s Teddy Pendergrass and the songs are Close the Door and of course followed by, Turn off the Lights. | |
| Cd player Transport/Dac advice No, I don’t have subwoofers. My speakers produce a pretty satisfactory amount of bass. | |
| Time For a CD Player Upgrade Does anyone have any real life experience in comparing the new Luxman D-10x and Esoteric K-01xd with EMM Labs Tsdx transport and Dac Dac2xV2 combo? Just thought since there’s so many knowledgeable cd people on this thread someone may have experien... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA I had a little luck with my Gaia’s after replacing them with platforms. The threading for the speakers was identical to the threading on my amp stands. So, I removed the carpet spikes from the amps, replaced them with the Gaia’s and ordered some o... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA I had Gaia’s on top of concrete blocks and the sound was pretty awesome. The bass was deep and tight, soundstaging and transparency was impressive. Due to the tweeter height I switched over to some platforms that are always said to be a step up fr... | |
| Isolation systems @rsf507 I am actually talking to a Carbide Audio rep now. Their product sounds interesting. If I go with footers or a device under my rack my top three would be the Townshend seismic corners, Carbide Audio footers, and the Nordost Sort Fut’s. | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? I had an Audio Research Vt-100 amp and Audible Illusions preamp combo for over 20 years. I wish I would’ve kept them both and started a second system. Great sound together. | |
| Isolation systems I do have isolation devices under all my components. I have Symposium platforms and rollerblocks(some w superballs and double stacked) under all my equipment. It could be overkill adding isolation footers under the rack itself, but in order to ope... | |
| Isolation systems I’m in the process of moving my rack back a few feet and it’s going to be a pain. I have done some research on Carbide Audio, Townshend, and Nordost footers for racks, in place of the original spikes. For the prices they charge don’t really want t... | |
| ARC M300 MKII call for help If all else fails give Isaac Markowitz at ARC a call. He’s the sales rep for ARC and a great guy to deal with, if there’s anyway to get it done he’ll find out. | |
| ARC M300 MKII call for help Give True Sound in Campbell, CA a call. Ask for Nick. He will sometimes surprise you with what he can do. | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? I’ll go with speakers, but as someone else mentioned previously, I would put a lot of consideration into the room and what type of speakers would perform best in that room. | |
| Racks, equipment and footers If you want a rack made of wood and info on footers for the rack I would check out Massif. If you’re more concerned with a rack with an isolation system designed into the rack I would check out Core Audio Design. Both owners are very knowledgeable... |
