| Harbeth 40.3 XD + Ton Trager First Impressions To drill a bit deeper, I have listened to the 30.1s on the TTs both directly on the floor, and placed on Townshend platforms. The difference in sound is clear, but because some of the bass energy that is typically felt through the floor is lost, s... | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XD + Ton Trager First Impressions @macg19 What you seem to be reporting is that the TTs are much better at isolating the speakers than your home made ones, and that I don't doubt. But no, they don't decouple them, let alone "completely". And neither do spikes! In fact, spikes c... | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XD + Ton Trager First Impressions I owned a pair of TT stands with a pair of M30.1, and agree that they are excellent. However, this claim (above): Resonance dissipation and decoupling is achieved by the extended tenons and the tone-bed “dimple” in the tenons that decouples the ... | |
| New Improved Fink Team Borg Episode 2 Speakers : End-Game Speakers ? So this: Frequency response 32hz to 32khz +10 -10 DB. No thank you! is not equivalent to writing them off? 😂 As for the aesthetics, this may come as a surprise to you, but not everyone’s views will necessary align with your preferences! Fina... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing A remarkable list, @jjss49, and thanks for your various, thoughtful impressions. On the other end of the spectrum, I have owned a grand total of two DACs, despite having been 'in the game' for 40 years! The first was a Denafrips Pontus II, and, ... | |

| Cable elevators Hey @rodman99999 Forget about the complexities of science, how about simply justifying your text in a normal manner (i.e. to the left), as opposed to centering it, which makes your posts uncomfortable and difficult to read? | |
| Please recommend decoupling footers for DAC As you mentioned a couple of things that – ahem – resonate, I'll chime in. 😀 Over the years I had previously used Herbie's Tenderfeet on a few components (they are dirt cheap compared to most vibration control products on the market), and with so... | |
| Cable elevators When I owned relatively expensive (even used) Inakustik LS-2404 speaker cables, I occasionally heard some interference, and lifting them off the floor definitely helped. I doubt that the interference problem would afflict most cables designs, thou... | |
| Do Your Speakers have LEVEL CONTROLS or EQUALIZERS? (Vintage or Modern) ??? Yes, my FinkTeam KIM have two controls. They are very useful, and the first speakers that I have owned with such controls. This is how they are described in StereoNet: Two level controls are located beside the rear speaker terminals. One is a s... | |
| Plastic sleeves for cd's... I use, and can certainly recommend DiscSox. I also use them for DVDs. Very high quality, though not cheap: DIscSox website | |
| How Do Amps Affect Soundstage? I agree with several of the above comments, and most seem to agree that the lower the distortion, the more accurately the source material, including the soundstage, can be reproduced. Along those lines, I would say that vibration control, and esp... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Burn-in on a software patch? Really? On what basis might that be required? And no, I am nothing like a reflexive skeptic. | |
| New Improved Fink Team Borg Episode 2 Speakers : End-Game Speakers ? Plucking out a single published spec, and writing off a speaker on that basis without ever having auditioned it? 🤣🤣 | |
| New Improved Fink Team Borg Episode 2 Speakers : End-Game Speakers ? I find the claims in the above post to be ludicrous. I own the FinkTeam KIM two-way speakers, and have no doubt that they would blow away the "small 2 way floorstanding speakers that cost tens of thousands less" that he mentions. Setting aside th... |
