| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! As I previously mentioned, I would call Peter at Symposium Acoustics and see wheat he thinks. He talks about “best bang for the buck” all the time. He might recommend roller blocks, platforms, or some combo, and if he can’t fit, he won’t force it. | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices It depends on the source. You can get something used for $2K like an integrated amp/streamer and a decent set of speakers with some $ left over for a non entry level interconnect and speaker cables. When you start talking about turntables, moving ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Couple things- all things heard cannot be measured, and all things measured cannot be heard. That doesn’t mean to ignore seismographs, etc, but it is not the be all and end all.MC is absolutely right about vibrations coming from the components or ... | |
| How much reality do you really need? Reality? that's live music.A stereo can get you only so much. If you have a nicely recorded, produced and manufactured live album, you can get a good rendition of it.The sickness of the audiophile (which unfortunately is me) is the willingness to ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Townshend seismic platform under my turntable was an incredible improvement. Just be sure to match the weight to the podium version selected. Doesn't remove footfalls however. To do that, I had to put my table on a wall mounted shelf. The improvem... | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices If nobody bought the stuff, they wouldn't make it or they would go out of business.These are low volume niche products, some pricing elevation because of the look of the materials that have nothing to do with sound.Also for some, there is snob app... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 $500.....nah | |
| Mat for Rega P10 Even more hyperbole than MC.....although a different type. MC believes it, I can't see how this guy does. He is trolling.If you read the note from @gbmcloud, he said he used the mat on the "lowly P3". How can you say anything is worth $10K when u... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 If I remember correctly, that also had to be glued to the platter, which is what I was originally trying to avoid. If I was going to tape or glue something down, I might as well keep the Rega mat. | |
| Mat for Rega P10 @guy-incognito you are joking, right, $10K component upgrade for $650 in a mat?$$ spent on a P8 is not “blown”. IMHO it is the best value at its price point be a lot. The arm alone is almost worth the price. It is fantastic.too bad my Washi mat ke... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio If all things are equal that may be true, but rarely are all things equal.... | |

| Uber expensive repair at United Radio @jdoris - all anyone needs to look at is what is the cost of the repair and what options you have. If someone has not idea how long it will take to do a repair or won't give me a tight (do not exceed) range, I won't use him. There is a market for ... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @clearthinker - It was revived a while before that, but of course the smaller the venue, the better.I went to Fagen's book signing (interesting book) a few years back and he wasn't the warmest and fuzziest when he was leaving. I asked him if he'd ... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio @jdoris - to equate high end electronic repair rates with electricians is hysterical. It’s based on specialization - the rarer the service, the more it costs. No disrespect to electricians, but there are tons of them everywhere.high end audio rep... |
