| Footers under new speakers @buellrider97 Thank you. That's good information. I'll report back with any feedback that I get from Townshend. Yeah, I've had the sls883 name for a long time. My first Harley was an 883. Within months, I went to a 1200 Custom. Then a Deuce.... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? Listen to the song Friend or Foe by Riverside. Cool guitar and bass guitar. Turn it up.... | |
| Footers under new speakers @buellrider97 Thank you. I sent a message to Townshend though their website to get their recommendation for my speakers and I asked if they are a seller on Audiogon. I found a listing for $1799, but I can't figure out how to get seller info and f... | |
| Footers under new speakers I was curious about the Townshend until I checked the price. $2620 for size 3. | |
| Footers under new speakers I'm using the oem spikes which sit on isolation discs. Basically, two machined discs with carbon ball bearings between them. My floor is carpet on concrete. I would guess that the discs prevent a lot of bass from going into the floor. | |
| Best RCA Digicable @soix Acoustic Zen MC2. Read the reviews. I own it. +1 | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 yeah, it is the R30. I'm very happy with the X30. I like it a lot more than the R26 that I had. I'm sure the new R30 is also notably better than the R26. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 it's been reported that Gustard is coming out with a new r2r dac. Somebody wrote that it would replace the X30, but that seems odd. I'm happy with my setup, so I haven't investigated it. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 Congrats on the purchase. Thanks for the very descriptive write up. Do you intend to try a clock or alternative power supply? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Billy Idol - Dream Into It. A new 2025 release. | |
| Work out music I don't have any particular workout music. I've been playing Envy of None, Blind Ego, Riverside, RPWL, Nightwish, etc. | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades @smatsui I had that problem this winter. I had a couple of pretty good sparks on a couple of occasions. Fortunately, nothing got fried I've gotten into the habit of touching the metal posts of my audio cabinet before I touch my LTA preamp.. | |
| Linear Tube Audio - Micro ZOTL - version -3 Update on upgrades Are there any compromises made when going from level 2 to level 3? It was mentioned that the sound was more forward? Does the added detail come with added sibilance? It sounds like there are improvements to be had, but I'm hesitant because I ha... | |
| Tube Amp for Coda 8 Part 2 @zlone Good point on the cables. Vacuum tubes also make a big difference in a preamp like mine. Put the wrong tubes in it and the performance is nowhere near its' potential. | |
| Tube Amp for Coda 8 Part 2 @kds my immediate thought was that a tube preamp would sound better, but you have a really nice dac, so I don't know. I'm using a Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp (level 2) with a Coda 8 amp. It's much better than using my dac as a volume cont... |
