Game on, I just ordered one out of Triton in Seattle. Fun! Thanks for the tip. 
Your top 3 most EMOTIONALLY intense live concerts, and top 3 EMOTIONALLY intense records.
Emotionally...Jackson Browne about two years ago in Kansas City. He was going on and on about politics in the US and was getting to the some of the fans myself included, then a woman yelled out "shut up and play music". It was an emotionally charg... 
MQA is for chumps
My first streamer was a Naim that did not support MQA. I was very envious at the time of those who could run Qobuz and Tidal/MQA. I upgraded to a dCS and had Tidal and Qobuz for about 6 months. I tried and tried to think MQA was an advantage, but ... 
TotalDAC D1 Driver-anyone using one yet?
your comment is above my head, but may answer why there is only an RCA in to the TotalDAC Driver. I think is has both RCA and "balanced" out, but only RCA in. 
TotalDAC D1 Driver-anyone using one yet?
Thanks! Now why doesn't the website say something more useful and concise like that! So, I'm digital only and have found that my streamers sound better with a preamp so that was why I was going down this path. Plus dCS doesn't seem advise using th... 
Suggestion for Audiogon Forums
Actually, I enjoy the mix of all of it except when it gets to be a personal attack. I have learned things here during some rough debates that otherwise might not have come out. MC Hammer-MC the foil! I think some of us would get bored without a li... 
Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?
Although the contributors seem very knowledgeable about passive control preamps I don't know if this is a good place to ask if the  Townsend passive Allegri Reference  preamp is the type of technology you understand and support and the type compan... 
Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?
I don't recognize any of the model numbers nor the technologies, but you guys seem to know a lot about passives. I have never tried a passive preamp, but i have been researching a Townsend Allegri Reference passive preamp to replace my massive two... 
As promised my thoughts on my newly installed Townsend Podium isolation system.
The sales rep from Townsend (John) told me to take the GAIAs off and mount the speakers bareback. I didn't try it stacked, but I also justified buying the Podiums 5 months after I bought the GAIAs by thinking that I would sell the GAIAs and recoup... 
Townsend springy platforms for my Sasha 2s, springs not ISOA GIAS, HRTs for electronics???
As promised I received and installed my Podiums today. Thank you to Millercarbon and Ozzy for their encouragement as it wasn't so difficult to get my 200 pound speakers up on them. I just moved slowly and used towels to protect everything. I'm goi... 
Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations
Well, I'm on the edge of my seat. What is this ref cable beater named? 
Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium Platform Review:
My Podiums and three Platforms were shipped yesterday and will be delivered Friday so I will be adding my views on Townsend soon! I'm a lot more excited about these devices than any of my previous tweaks or cables. So out of my prior experience an... 
Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations
I've just been down this road again myself.  I continue to be baffled by all the "one off" small companies that get recommended on this site. Cables in particular are hard to evaluate as they are expensive, seemingly no end to the number of compan... 
Speaker Spike Philosophy
I have a spring trial in process right now if others are interested. I have Townsend Podiums, and three Platforms ordered. I come from a history of B&W 801 Matrix Anniversary speakers mounted on spiked bases filled with 50 pounds of sand each,... 
Townsend springy platforms for my Sasha 2s, springs not ISOA GIAS, HRTs for electronics???
Yes, they look great. They look more industrial than the ISO Acoustics. Look better and sound better, great! Plus, talk about first world problems...it looks like the person running the vacuum cleaner in my room can't run it into the sides of my S...
