Getting granite tomorrow.
It is only recently that I have experienced good isolation from vibration. I have spent at least 25 years exploring isolation devices, using bladders, spikes, mass, wood, cork, springs, like pole magnets, multiple layer shelves, carbon, and even a... 
FM Radio is dead ....R.I.P
We listen to NPR probably nine hours daily. There is no other station that I would listen to, although when in NM we have a choice of two NPR stations. Do I consider this quality audio like in the past when I owned a Marantz 10B, of course not. Wh...

Let's get back to the sound of the Teos, can we?

Sabai, I think that you should know that mercury thermometers are readily avail in most Latin and South American countries. I should also note that I once had a Keith Monks tone arm that used four mercury baths both to give contact between the car... 
Tidal Speakers owners
Johngp, unfortunately for a multitude of reasons, my Tidals are sitting and awaiting shipping to their new owner. Presently, I am using LSA1 Statements, a monitor speaker that costs less than $3000. These are what I use in my small room in our NM ... 
Exemplar Modified Oppo 93?
Talk2me, I see no purpose for your post. 
Do you believe in Magic?
Douglas_schroeder, actually, in my experience, it is uncommon that have experiences such as the ERS paper. I never liked it at all and made a valiant effort to get it to work. Usually, I am satisfied by a modest improvement if the tweak is not ver... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Pubul57, what I object to is the presumption in Phd's post, "where others have used sound judgement." I like people with passions and do not find most lack responsibility. There was a time when I did not have the luxury to invest much in my hobbie...

Johngp, you are right on the money. 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Jmcgrogan2, I didn't post here until Blackwillard said, " Put on a blindfold and you will hear very little differences between a $5,000.00 system which is properly set up and complimentary, to a $50,000.00 system which simply gives you braggin' ri... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Jmcgrogan2, sorry, but I don't want anyone to believe that others should always want to get off just because they do. Do use your analogy, I am saying that many here are going into the bar and saying "I don't drink anymore" and neither should you,...

I should add that my Cerious Technologies cables, which had liquid in them, did leak. Fortunately, it was not toxic liquid. But from what I have seen, the Teos are very carefully made and shipped. Still, were I to have kids around, especially youn... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Pubul57 and Phd, this discussion sounds like what Consumer Reports used to say about automobiles. Cheapest, reliable transportation is all one needs. They did not get many to subscribe to this philosophy. Most went about their lives, buying cars t... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Dave_b, thank you for your opinion. 
How much can be measured -- and how much cannot?
Unsound, I can hear frequency response and sense dispersion also. I also think I can hear phase problems in speakers. I cannot recall ever getting such measurements before deciding on a speaker. But I cannot really understand a speaker designer wh...
