| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? And by the way thanks to Geoff for a number of very good damping ideas with his cork paper in the DAC. Those will help too. | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? You could also try Herbie's grungebuster + PTFE washer pairs to isolate the PCBs in your DAC as I have done to good effect. You have to unscrew the PCBs to put them in but this needn't be complicated depending on how your DAC is laid out.Also, th... | |
| VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers FWIW I am switching back to VAC's KT88-SC going forward. Sound is just great I now find and the reliability factor is top class. They test their tubes thoroughly for use in their components. | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums By way of update, I am extremely happy with the Townshend podiums I recently got myself from Nick at Emporium HiFi here on Audiogon. I got the Townshend Speaker Podiums Size 3 for my Nola Metro Grand 2 speakers. I replaced the 8 Ultra AL Stillpo... | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? @psickerson, I am curious how you store music? I tried Sonore Rendu (not micro-Rendu) some time ago and liked the sound - a bit different from my Berkeley USB, but not necessarily inferior. I am thinking of going back to that for various reason... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? I would second the tubed Concert Fidelity DAC that @ps68 above referred to. It has a Philips DAC chip. Very fine sound I get from it, frankly eclipsing what I can get from LPs at any (to me) affordable price point in practically every way. My CF... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Thanks for the tips on set up @mains. Will post my impressions here. | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Thanks @folkfreak and @rcprince for the help with your experience with the Townshend. I got a pair of podiums from nick at emporium here through Audiogon. Will post here about my experience after I receive and install them. I expect the results... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Thanks @rcprince for the warning. However, I believe that the Townshend podiums will actually lower the speakers elevation by as much as a couple of inches. This, as you guessed, is because of the 2+ inch combined height of the SPs, bases and He... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Thanks for the warning folkfreak. I won't get the Herzans for my speakers then! But I am thinking very seriously about a pair of Townshend Size 3 for my NOLAs. The Townshends would replace my Stillpoints Ultra Aluminums with Stillpoints Ultra B... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums I mean I am thinking of getting the Townshends for my NOLAs. | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums FolkfreakMay I ask do you still use the Townshend Seismic Podiums or did you switch to Herzans for your speakers? I could not afford the Herzan TS-150 but I am thinking of getting myself a pair of these for my NOLA Metro Grand 2s.Thanks | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Thanks Ozzy I will try those. I see them on Amazon.One more thing to add on circuit breaker panels - a bit off topic though. I have found that a sheet of Stillpoints ERS paper over my panel is very effective in improving sound for the whole syst... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Thank you David, I will try more HFTs in the circuit box. The trouble with using superglue for me is that I rent and will move eventually. So I should perhaps try some removable glue. | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Sorry , in my first sentence, I meant has anyone tried using HFTs on circuit breakers? |
