| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? My Altec Lansing 1570B were built around 1954 and run fine. They were rebuilt in 2004 but the transformers, chokes etc are all original. | |
| Amp Selection for Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand Distortion/noise usually causes discomfort (listener fatigue). You have probably heard the saying, you don't know its there till its gone. A lot of noise comes from the power in your wall feeding your gear and the front end (phono or digital equ... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? Get a DAC. That will allow you to utilize and endpoint and/or server. Having streaming capability is a great door opener to new music. | |
| Shindo Masseto + Coincident Frankenstein versus Nagra 300i integrated If you can live without a remote control you should look at the First Sound preamp. It's an exceptional Preamp for the cost. I have the Mark 3 SI.There is a First Sound Paramount on audiogon for $7,500. That preamp surpasses mine. You could also ... | |
| Pure Audio Project Loudspeaker with Voxativ driver option I have the trio 10 with Voxativ. I also have the trio 15 with horn. The horn is very accurate. Its also a horn. You have to be careful what you feed it. I have the silver Verastarr but its way to analytical. I found the horn integrates fanta... | |

| Best building material for vibration free shelving The use of beads to isolate the plates was a pretty big gain in reducing internal and external noise transmission. In my earlier models you can see a simple stack of acrylic on corian with 3 beads separating them. The TT just sits on top. It do... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving https://www.audionirvana.org/forum/the-audio-vault/diy/43633-rp6-hot-rodded-with-remote-motor-mountThis is a link to my TT and its development. Its actually pretty darn nice now. Rivals my very nice digital setup. | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving You know, I know a dealer who sat his amps on little tables from IKEA because they were made like cardboard. Corrugated paper between a couple thin plywood pieces. He said it was like an air gap. Poor man stand, but pretty effective he thought. | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Wish I could afford $10k speakers. I just connected my Pure Audio Project trio 10 last night. Breaking in and tuning now. My TT sits on my shelving stand. Nothing fancy. I built the base and plinth so I took the time there to isolate. Have fun. | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving BDP24 has some very good points. I hear pods pushed all over. Some like them, others do not. Its gonna be hit or miss. I have a friend with a full set of SRA stands. Huge and heavy. Vibration can be turned into heat and dissipated if done righ... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving N80, not taking a shot at you. IME, when your system gets more dialed in you start to hear small changes more readily. Also, all the little stuff adds up over time. Provided your actually keeping the good and removing the bad. That can be the... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving I did not understand this to be a air vibration transmission back into the signal. Think about where bass is strongest. Usually at the back wall and corners. Sure you could get some, especially through vinyl. My understanding is you have a lar... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Made my own footers from a 1.5 square piece of corian 1/2" thick. I put a dimple in the top and set a Druzy stone in the dimple. Thw stone is kind of like lava. When you flick it with your finger its a dull click. You can put a piece of tooth ... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) Curious what you did. I try to keep it NEC compliant. The next version for me will have a dedicated ground rod to take the shielding only. Mil spec silver wire from the shield to the rod. I have a Ufer ground as my main ground. I don't have a... |
