| Swapping Wilson Watt Puppy 6’s for open baffle Pure Audio Project Trio15 Voxative's Maybe DIY some Townshend Podiums with these https://www.ebay.com/itm/292100530301 , and a wood cutting board(s) or a piece of floor tile. ;-). The Townshend research seems to suggest that loudspeaker "suspension" is more effective than either coup... | |
| How can Wilson Audio speakers sound that good if they are using OEM drivers? I think you make a mistake by saying Wilsons use OEM drivers. Sure, they are sourced by OEM companies, but they are also built to very detailed manufacture's specifications. It's like saying "how can Honda's Formula 1 race cars be all that great ... | |
| Swapping Wilson Watt Puppy 6’s for open baffle Pure Audio Project Trio15 Voxative's Especially if you are in the UK, may want to see about a demo of these: http://www.townshendaudio.com/hi-fi-home-cinema-equipment-vibration-isolation/hi-fi-home-cinema-vibr... | |
| Swapping Wilson Watt Puppy 6’s for open baffle Pure Audio Project Trio15 Voxative's From your description, it sounds like the only real issue you have with the Wilsons is occasional overpowering bass (as a result of your floor or your room). 1. I would try some of methods to couple or de-couple the speakers to/from your floor. Th... | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp Perhaps a bit off topic, but can anyone detail whether there are any real issues with buying a Chinese made amp (Line Magnetic, Cayin, etc.) - which were build for 220v ? Can you just purchase a 220/110v converter [box] and be done? Or is it mor... | |
| Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement Before you start spending money on gear, determine for yourself what kind of midrange and ’presentation’ you like. You may really like something like the disappearing act and clean presentation of a small Harbeth P3esr mated to a good single ended... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Hey fsmithjack,Interesting thread.Did you get things worked out and sounding good to you ? | |
| Oyaide or Furutech plugs Don't want to steer you away from the Furutech if you're set on it, but I've had good DIY results on tube/hybrid power amp with Acrolink 7N P4030II. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ACROLINK-7N-P4030II-Stressfree-Power-Cable-Sold-By-1Meter-Each-Cut-100-Ge... | |
| Nuvista Tubes - General Here’s a write up of the MF Tri-Vista. I own this integrated, and it’s quite nice. I have upgraded the fuses and interconnecting cables for nice improvements; more delicacy and ’air’.https://hometheaterreview.com/musical-fidelity-tri-vista-300-int... | |
| What's Next ricred - I understand; I realize I mentioned the HD90 but maybe the HD60 would be worth considering. Joe Abrams has a pair listed here at about $2800. Also watch ebay. I was more mentioning a relatively lower cost cable change as an alternative t... | |
| MIT ... joeabrams I don’t think multiple listings, intentional or not, are necessarily good or bad either way. I’ve spoken with Joe and he is knowledgeable and very helpful. That provides significant value. And I think at the MIT level of cables, customers have pre... | |
| What's Next A bit of an outlier suggestion here.It looks like you just got your Clarus Crimson speaker cables, but I may suggest demoing a pair of the MIT HD90 or HD120 biwire. I think you'll get more apparent detail from a significantly quieter background.Th... | |
| A better lamp cord for my stereo equipment? VolexHome Depot extension cord | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? Cheapest route would be to add a Pangea 9SE power cord; it will add bass. Usually ~$150 | |
| Earliest "MOST WANTED" gear 18 in 1978 - Actually bought Sansui G4500 and Infinity RS-Bs(?) 3 ways. Also liked the Polk 10Bs. |
