| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone Maybe as a cheap experiment, try these for $54 that might give you a good sense of what springs bring to the table since Townshend is unresponsive, and very expensive. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134128587790 | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone Sorry to hear about your poor experience with Townshend — that’s awful, but glad you’ve found a good alternative (and they’re certainly much better looking IMHO). I’d love to see a pic of your stands when they’re done, and I’m sure they’ll be fan... | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone You might also consider Townshend Seismic isolation devices for your speakers that use springs and get universally glowing reviews. Just another option to ponder FWIW. https://www.townshendaudio.com/hi-fi-home-cinema-equipment-vibration-isolatio... | |
| Sometimes more is not better -or- Ethernet Overkill @mitch2 I'm surprised you found no improvement with the Hermes. When I installed an Iris to use the i2S connection to my DAC the improvement was significant and immediately noticeable, and the Hermes should be even better. What connection/cable ... | |
| Will earbuds with anc reduce loud gym music? This bot thing is getting out of hand here. C’mon A’gon!!! | |
| What tier do you consider Anthem integrated? Most sell in the $3-4k range depending on condition. For future reference, you can go to hifishark.com and search for a component. You can see a list of all that are currently for sale across several sites, but you can also click the tab that’ll... | |
| Will earbuds with anc reduce loud gym music? What’s your budget? These Sonys get very good reviews for both sound quality and noise cancelling so would be my top pick if within your budget. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-WF-1000XM4-Cancelling-Optimised-Assistant/dp/B095DNPH4R/ref=sr_1_4?keywo... | |
| How does one pick in this situation? What pre/amp or integrated was driving the Salks? I highly recommend you go back and listen to the Contenders as they will correct a lot of what you didn’t like about the Salks as it’s a very different sounding speaker and probably will be much m... | |
| What tier do you consider Anthem integrated? I’d highly recommend the Joseph Audio RM22XL as they are small towers perfect for an apartment and sound sublime — I almost bought these myself. Here’s a nice pair and a great value at only $1075 and leaves you with a nice budget for an amp, etc.... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 What improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| What tier do you consider Anthem integrated? My advice would be to focus on choosing speakers first, and once you’ve done that you can effectively reduce your search/options for amplifiers to those that can drive them properly and synergize sonically. Trying to do both at the same time can b... | |
| Subwoofer recommendation Jeez, how big is your room? +1 @12many on the Rhythmiks. | |
| Hearing protection and Music Battery powered lawn equipment are much quieter and usually have more torque than comparable gas versions. I don't feel the need for hearing protection now doing the lawn. +1. All my yard equipment has been battery powered for the past 14 years... | |
| I downloaded high-res files and... As others have said a good streamer is your easiest/best solution, and if you don’t already have Qobuz I’d highly recommend getting it as for $13/month you’ll have access to tons of music — a lot of it in hi res — and likely never deal with downlo... | |
| Vinshine/Alibaba..What to buy and where? I’ve read mixed reviews about buying from Alibaba and nothing but high praise for Vinshine. Then again, you can get the 12th anniversary from AliExpress for close to the same price as the base Ares ll at Vinshine. Tough choice. Oh, and given your... |
