| Townshend Isolation Products. Using the Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums under my speakers was a revelation: the music sounded completely freed from the loudspeakers: clearer more dynamic bass, more open midrange and an expanded well defined soundstage. I had previously tr... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? I once purchased a pair of Linn Isobarik speakers from a well known Canadian broadcaster. He occasionally mentioned his love for his cats when extolling the virtues of the music he played. Unknown to all his CBC listeners was the fact that his ca... | |
| Am I right for this forum? Often, an audiophile is someone who plays music to listen to their system. You, on the other hand, appear to play your system to hear the music. Congratulations! I have often noticed that my most musically engaged friends (those that are actually... | |
| Preamp power supply capacitor upgrade If you go 'on the cheap' now, you will always be questioning whether you should have bought the better capacitors. Audiophilia is all about seeking that elusive 'Perfection' - usually at any cost! If you don't upgrade now, you probably will furthe... | |
| Subwoofer 101 Needed... Thanks, soix! Sounds like a good start... | |
| Subwoofer 101 Needed... Eric, Some interesting ideas, thanks. (Like blocking the ports of my main speakers!) I will tinker and explore. | |

| Subwoofer 101 Needed... The icons are links to images: you will have tap and follow link on Imgpile.com. (I couldn't figure how to actually embed an image...) | |

| Subwoofer 101 Needed... Oops! I didn't mean to post twice, only to add a second image. | |
| Would you buy a pair of speakers by just looking at the measured freq. response? Unless you were a very specialized collector, would you buy a car without driving it first? | |
| The Ultimate in Smoke and Mirrors? BUT... To answer your genuine question (thank you!): I placed a Bybee on top of the three power cords leading to the mono amps and the DAC/preamp/streamer. I placed the second squarely on top of the DAC/preamp/streamer. The sound is cleaner, more dynami... | |
| The Ultimate in Smoke and Mirrors? BUT... Well, I was hoping for a chorus of knowledgeable experience, but maybe there is still time... I am certainly not knocking these extraordinary devices or their inventor. They are quite audible and very much to my liking! (I only use the term snake... | |
| Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's Hi, I have used Gaia 2's under my loudspeakers which definitely improved the their sound. Because I'm I a tinkerer by nature, I replaced the Gaia's a year later with heavy, slightly damped compression coil springs that I found on Amazon. Shockin... |
