The speaker bases have Stillpoint cones sitting in metal discs on tile. Millercarbon gave me good advice o... | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good John Lennon Plastic Ono Band. Blows my mind every time. I love Shocking Blue! Great choice. The Butterfly and I is a monster. Who would have expected such great Sitar. | |
| amplifier longevity You just made me think...My Rowland Model 12 monoblocks have been problem free since 2009 installation. And they get workouts! | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? In a way, a very pertinent question for me as I’m dealing with it now. Sort of in that I’m just looking for the right connection from my Rowland Model 12 monoblocks to my Townsend Allegri Preamp(which has both XLR and RCA). . In addition to the T... | |
| The Boss is the Bo$$ In college me and my friends used to chide Springsteen so much. I will admit I’ve seen him 3 times in concert but that was for the experience. His music is ok. Some very good. But I don’t find him to be the pinnacle of any genre. I feel like I'm ... | |
| Good or Best Surge Protector I recently had a Seimens FS140 whole house surge suppressor installed by my breaker box(as well as a 2nd grounding rod by my meter box). I wanted to get surge suppression MOV’s etc away from my equipment. Now I have a PI Audio Uberbuss/Digi Bu... | |

| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. So what IS the best stylus cleaner? I've got a new Benz LP-S and Miyajima Zero about to be mounted so I'm perplexed. I have a Zero Dust but that goes in the bin now. Record brush? NG it seems. | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please Townshend Audio Allegri Reference preamp..It's a passive preamp. I think it has everything you listed. Look into it. I just received mine yesterday to run a pair of Jeff Rowland Model 12 monoblocks driving JM Lab/Focal Mezzo Utopia's. My phono... | |
| Dustcover Blues I have custom acrylic dustcovers for my 2 turntables(that are on Townshend platforms) to cover when not playing. While I wouldn't mind, I thought it wasn't a good idea to use them during playing. | |
| Great song to test bass Six Blade Knife-Dire Straits | |
| Can You Hear Me Now I buy on the recommendations of people I trust. People who have tried out many components and tweaks and can distillize their experience. That, and research on that information. Along the way I gain knowledge.The only thing I have not applied is D... | |
| Budget High Current Power Cords Triode Wire Labs High Power Digital American. I have one, using it for my Rowland Model 201 mono amp for my center speaker and it is a very good PC and great value for the money. If I did not buy "higher end" audiophile cables for my power conditi... | |
