| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! That's a great idea. I have plastic furniture sliders that came with furry elastic "socks" to go over them. I'll have to figure out a way to incorporate their use! | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I hear ya about your back. I definitely am not looking forward to lifting each 140 pound speakers onto the podiums. Fortunately I have that inflatable 500 pound air lift bag so that might help me. Although, I may leave the spikes on initially to t... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @millercarbon Are using the BDR round things under the podium pods? Your floor is wood though, yes?I'm on tile which doesn't transmit footsteps or sub/speaker sonic vibrations according to the seismograph app. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @prof The speaker bars look to be about 1/4" off the floor. I imagine you could put coasters or plastic furniture sliders under the pods. | |
| Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.) @lewm Terry(the builder before SME) used super high end hospital grade Austin pumps that are so expensive. Prc4 has 24 liters per minute suction power!! And quiet....I don't know what vacuum pumps are currently being installed in new Loricraft 4's. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! My Mezzo speakers currently have Stillpoint cones on a metal disc. I have a feeling that with the Townshend podiums, my speakers will be closer to the tile then they are with the cones/disc.My podiums should arrive soon so I will measure but I'm g... | |
| Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.) I bought a Loricraft 4 because it uses a new, clean string every time.I had no interest in an Ultrasonic cleaner that reuses water that was used to clean the previous record. It comes with L'Art du Son but I've read that Keith Monks cleaning formu... | |
| New to vinyl - How to get the best out of old classical discs? @chakster "Hahaha. I can’t believe I’m reading about springs again, it’s almost in every thread already. Unbelievable. Maybe because it works? Believable. If you put pods under your table and then poo poo the performance, maybe anyone here might ... | |

| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! True about Satchmo. I haven't listened to it since I bought it from Classic Records way back when. I am absolutely overloaded with vinyl I haven't played. Patience Grasshopper. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @sokogear Due to space limitations in rack spaces under my Rogue tube phono stage, Classe processor and 1 of my Model 12 monoblock amps I'm going to get 3 5/8" Svelte Shelves, as pods are too tall..... I could fit taller shelves under the phono st... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @sidog1460 I can help. I just ordered the Seismic isolation corners(and speaker podiums, turntable platform and pods) from John at Townshend.I wouldn't think the 3 legs would matter...You can email John at Townshend if you want. He is so helpful. ... | |
| Power cord choice? @buellrider97 Have you ever considered, or are able, to have an electrician install a 20A dedicated line(10 or 12 guage wire) from your breaker box directly to your 20A receptacle? Makes a big difference in decreasing noise with more and cleaner c... | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? @fleschler I had a Townshend Seismic Sink under my Basis 2001 since 2001. The bladder failed for the 2nd time. I was going to get a Seismic platform for it but millercarbon had the brilliant idea of unscrewing the metal Basis pods and replacing th... | |
