| Isoacoustics Gaia and speaker wobble @zlone - thanks much. Yes, I definitely have the logos facing forward. I know micro tweeks can be done where they can face backwards also. I'm now anxiously awaiting on the longer spikes mentioned above after exchanging emails with their CEO. They... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia and speaker wobble @Zlone - I did. Interestingly when I anchored the Focals to the floor with a different set of spikes (not factory), it wouldn't budge, but the sounds was flatter, not as refined. I'm assuming that is the resonance sneaking back up from the floor i... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia and speaker wobble Reporting back on this. Here is where I ended up for now with the isoacoustics. Heavy piece of tile from a local store. Interestingly enough, I contacted the CEO of isoacoustics and he indicated they are working on a longer version of the carpe... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia and speaker wobble Thanks all so much for the advice so far. Lots of great suggestions to try out and then I’ll report back after getting back in town. It’s unfortunate that IsoAcoustics doesn’t make discs with spikes that are longer and this would be a non issue. C... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia and speaker wobble @ilyavorozheykin - this is the conclusion I'm coming to. The carpet spikes that Isoacoustics sells may work for thin carpet applications, but no way for thick carpet like mine. The last video I posted where I moved the speaker to hardwood to tes... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia and speaker wobble @hjdca - completely agree. It would seem to me that while moving the speaker, the isolator would absorb the movement, but the spike is actually moving. I am in touch with Isoacoustics and we'll see what they say before I decide next steps. @ronb... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia and speaker wobble Thanks all so far fo the comments. I added a couple of short videos to the pictures from my original post. The second video is me repetitively tapping on the speaker. Probably a non-issue as it does in fact bounce back quickly. I could be over-thi... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday I signed up to be a pilot user, but unfortunately it doesn't yet support Bluesound Node - https://help.qobuz.com/en/articles/314578-list-of-brands-integrated-into-qobuz-connect. Bummer. | |
| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested @dbeckwith - the Sonettos just sounded flat to me with no depth. I listened to a lot of the music that I’m intimately familiar with and a ton of a-b testing and kept going back to the Focals. I even brought along a friend who had the same unsolici... | |
| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested I was in a very similar situation deciding on a new set of speakers to replace legacy Dynaudio speakers. I was absolutely smitten with Sonus Faber and particularly the Sonetto V’s as that was in my price range. I listened to them in a couple of di... | |
| Turntable dust cover cleaning @rhg3 - correct. It's picking up the static from the cloth. Same effect even if I run my hand across the cover. | |
| Turntable dust cover cleaning Thanks all for the feedback and advice. There are a couple of suggestions I'll try here regarding cleaning solution and microfiber cloths. I'll report back on results. And, as several have mentioned, it is not a scratch issue as the cover is in pe... | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach @carzmaguy88 - Thanks for your response. I am completely with you on the placement of the speakers. It is driving me nuts. Focal actually provided the following recommendations which seem to contradict each other - "Optimisation For perfection... | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach @kota1 - didn't mean to copy you. I'm not interested in room treatments at this point. Thank you. As @ghdprentice indicated, that can come later. | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach @ghdprentice - thanks for the comments. I will upgrade the whole system at some point. This isn't a fair assessment, but currently the speakers are roughly 50% of the cost - I say that due to the age of much of the equipment - 20+ years (I didn't ... |
