| Townshend Springs under Speakers Thanks for the offer Tom, but as you know, a new endpin has to be hand turned for the precise fit, also the attachment gut has to be installed, varying its length and girth, and then experimenting with soundest, bridge, etc. To do it right would... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Everything matters and you should know the goal to know if it's right for you. I play the violin.....I adjust the bridge, the soundpost, the chin rest, the shoulder rest, the brand of strings, the rosin, the bow, and so it goes. I'm never hap... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k Vandersteen speakers are worth a listen, | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. If you are unfamiliar with what real live music sounds like....go to live music concerts. Once you understand what your goal is, you can determine what/how to get that sound into your home. | |
| What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable? remember to use your protractor after raising/lowering the arm....the cartridge will need to be moved forward/backward. | |

| Favorite conductors for composers Bernstein is my god. | |
| Porsche I have a Burmeister in my Porsche.....don't bother. Driving faster than 20 miles an hour and its the same as the Bose. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers I have witnessed the respect and difference of a once real poster on these pages go into the dumps. Too bad.... Its all about attitude... I won't be listening anymore. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers What makes me gun-shy about getting the springs is that I tried Herbies things under my 5A's (a large step backward), Vandersteen's comments, (the speakers are time aligned and float a gorgeous tone picture...my thinking is that if the speaker can... | |
| Ayre V-3 Audio Improvements I have an Ayre V1 that I thought was operating below expectation. I sent it to Ayre who did a few things (maybe 1000 dollars or so) which rejuvenated it to be used another 10 years or so. ..among other things, they put a tape on the cooling fi... |
