| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! As far as turntable isolation, is there any difference or betterment between a Symposium Platform and a Townshend platform? Whatever I put under my Basis turntable will also have the separate belt motor on it. The belt motor for my Vertere MG-1... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @sokogear I will look into Symposium for rack component isolation for sure. I just need to get my thoughts together on the Townshend isolators first. But I think I have.Speaker bars with pods under my Mezzo Utopia's and isolation corners under my ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Interesting...I wonder if the Nobsounds would have a positive, long term effect on individual components or fall into the same situation as your speaker experience. And pods are 1000x better than the springs. millercarbon would know best. But it... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Maybe. Maybe not.Each air shim is rated for 300#. So, use two. Done. Great idea...I’ll need to swing the rack out 2 -3 feet to change components etc and to mount the isolation corners so I can use those sliders on the pods so I can slide the rack ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @tvad Thanks for the air shim link! wow. That would be perfect as there is barely enough room even when the rack is slid out a bit for me to get back there. The rack itself is 300 pounds so I'll need to remove the 100 pound center speaker first. B... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @millercarbon I understand and thank you. So now there are several considerations about the rack isolation. And what is most important. For me, it's my 2 turntables, and their tonearms and cartridges and my tube phono drive(which there is room for... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @millercarbon @rixthetrick Well, apparently Townsend isolation corners WILL isolate every single component in my equipment rack. Got it from the source!I asked John at Townshend: "As far as the isolation corners isolating my equipment rack down t... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @rixthetrick If I have my phone on the speaker and stomp on my tile, there are no vibrations registered on the phone. If I'm blasting music and place my phone on the tile in front of the speaker, there are no vibrations on the Seismograph. My tile... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @millercarbon @rixthetrick Thanks guys...I got a reply from John at Townshend. I sent him the Imgur pics of my speakers and system and he didn't address it specifically but said the following very matter of factly: "Thank you for your enquiry,We a... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @rixthetrick Thanks. Good idea. I also emailed my contact at Focal and asked for his thoughts.As a curiousity, I downloaded the Hamm Seismograph app from Google Play. Figured I'd try what they did at Townshend. One think about those videos, I'm wo... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @rixthetrick Thanks again...My center channel speaker is only playing during 5.1. In 2 channel, it is silent. And yes, it must stay there. The largest bass driver is the Sub with the spikes in the left corner. It has a corner bass trap behind it. ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @rixthetrick Thanks but I wasn’t able to figure that out.But if you go to imgur dot com slash a slash FEI0zPQ pics are on im gur.If you are able to, you’ll see the 300 pound Sound Anchors rack and the Basis turntable. But I’m adding a 2nd to the l... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I wouldn't mind advice for my situation.I have a 300 pound Sound Anchors rack. It is solid steel bars filled with sand. With spikes and discs on each corner. On top of the rack will be a Basis 2001 with silicone filled suspension pods(allows the t... | |
| Speaker repair...is it easy? I removed the solder and blown voice coil/diaphragm from my Mezzo Utopia's tweeter and resoldered in place a new voice coil/diaphragm. It wasn't easy but I did it and it sounds perfect. | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings Set up a mono turntable using a true mono cartridge such as a Miyajima Zero. You may be quite surprised that mono can surpass stereo LP's. |
