| Floor spikes for speakers? @jsalerno277 +1, isolation and decoupling are key. | |
| Floor spikes for speakers? Stack Audio Auva's They have it figured out. Completely blew away the Gaia's which were light years better than spikes. I have them on my Wilson's, REL's, and ARC preamp. https://stackaudio.co.uk/auvaisolator/?srsltid=AfmBOopVztJB3iJnICl6HXdC0g... | |
| Which component(s) benifit the most from isolation? Stack Audio Auva's under Wilsons, REL's, ARC preamp. Nordost Sort Cone under dac and amp. Iso acoustics under Aurender. All rack hardware on 3 inch maple slabs, also on rubber pad interfaces to Adonna rack. Inexpensive in the grand scheme. | |
| Can Qoboz Connect sound better than Qobuz viz Aurender Conductor? Either way, be sure to check out a filter between your Aurender and your ethernet input. I just signed up for Qobuz and was fearing it would be a little bright via the ethernet cable (even though it is direct from my AT&T fiber router with no ... | |
| Any Nashville enthusiasts? @mousikai One set of bread crumbs left so far. Another, is to contact Volti Audio in Baxter and Greg can connect you to us. | |
| Any Nashville enthusiasts? @mousikai check out my TN systems page and toggle the details of the whiz bang device for sound | |
| Sum Total Cost Of All Cables In Your Rig? Current collection of cables outlined in my system: https://www.audiogon.com/systems/10635 List price: >$30,000 My records show I paid approximately $15,000 as all but one were previously owned. | |
| Granite Slabs Chasing the wrong things it appears. Draining the vibrations has proven to be the best "sounding" solution. Stack Audio Auva units are much simpler to deploy and produce tighter bass and more presence into the room from your speakers. I've trie... | |
| The Role of R&D in Product Development 40+ years in R&D, product design, and manufacturing. You have postulated an interesting topic. I'd venture the audio companies are less structured in their processes. I've written R&D processes and NPD processes, and they have tons of ri... | |
| Interconnects/Cables of your choice, and why? Links to my systems page and cabling runs: https://www.audiogon.com/systems/10635#&gid=1&pid=5 https://www.audiogon.com/systems/10635#&gid=1&pid=6 So many good cable companies out there. I'd go KS Elations all throughout if I... | |
| Your favorite obscure song Mr. Shoes by City Boy | |
| Salk Song3 Beat and Salk HT2-TL The Beats play a little more open and airy. The HT2 is enjoyable as you know, and a great speaker. The ribbon tweeter is nice but a different sound from the Beat tweet. I'd say they are both great, but just different. | |
| Cardas Power Cords I bought a Cardas connector and fixed my own on a used cable. So, yes, they do fail on occasion. Good cables. | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 Coda is very quiet. I have eliminated so much noise using XLR cabling, etc. it makes me very happy. Coda is transparent and gives no sound signature of its own. My ARC preamp and Bricasti sound come right through. | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 I have owned a few Pass amps and liked them. In the end, they were very smooth but not as "energetic" as I had hoped. Down the road I tried the Coda, not moving away from Pass at that time, and fell in love with it. I considered larger Coda amps b... |
