| Nobsound springs - load range @ryder Guess what, I am now on 2 footers with 1 spring in each. Have you tried to stick with 3 units and put some weight on your DAC to reach the desired compression? | |
| Nobsound springs - load range @tweak1 Well, I started pulling springs out late yesterday with 3 springs/ 3 Nobs under the Oppo first (decent improvement). The streamer/DAC I was talking about is also an Oppo105 (heavily modified: clock, improved XLR output stage, IEC inlet,... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range All the calculations are a waste of time. I always get cautious when hearing such dogmatic statements. I would rather consider starting in the dark and doing erratic trial and error on all possible permutations of changes to different variables... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range Thanks for the ideas for dampening the Nobsound springs, this works great. The PTFE tape (wrapped around each spring) did not have much effect in my case (However, I tried it only on my DAC). The dampening with the ear plugs however does magic, t... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range @musicaddict I try to put in some physics about spring mass systems (have to dig a little since this is long ago since I had to deal with that in my engineering study). A spring extends or contracts in a linear relation with the force you are app... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range @ryder yes I have the aluminum Nobsounds. I just remeasured, the gap unloaded is ~14mm, the gap with 1 spring and 2.5kg load is ~7mm. Maybe the springs in your Nobsounds are different. | |
| Nobsound springs - load range I don't have the Townshend pods, but I have the podiums under my heavy floorstanding speakers. They use pods on all four sides that are fixed to the podium and that have a knob to adjust the preload on the springs (in a certain range, there are di... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range Some thoughts based on my experience meanwhile. I have Nobsound springs under my Streamer/DAC, my heavy mono blocks (44 kg each) and my Powerfilter unit. My initial attempt with the DAC (~12.5 kg) was with 3 units with 3 springs each, as this was ... | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers +1 for the MBL 101E Mk II.I heard them at last year's Highend fair in Munich. It was so much better than anything else I heard so far. Couldn't resist and bought them meanwhile. You need serious amps to drive them, I have the Electrocompaniet AW60... | |
| Furutech FI-48 NCF (R) vs. FI-50 NCF (R) This is exactly what I used for the cable for my streamer/CD Player (modified Oppo 105). The sound is a tremendous improvement against a ~200 EUR commercial cable. I used the Furutech Rhodium spades (FP-209-10 (R)) to terminate the cable ends, the... | |
| Furutech FI-48 NCF (R) vs. FI-50 NCF (R) I have tested the DPS4.1 with the FI-50 NCF plugs meanwhile, it sounds great. I have not compared the FI-48, but the dealer said they sound harsh in comparison and he cannot recommend them (maybe that's due to the metal housing). He recommended th... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise I want to build a really high-end DIY power cable for my two large monos (Electrocompaniet AW600). I have the Furutech DPS4.1 with Furutech FI-50/52 NCF (R) plugs to feed my mains filter. Wall socket is Furutech FT-SWS N... | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend Nice job!!! It really looks great and at the same time is probably highly functional.I built a rack years ago from copper pipes that I soldered together. I filled them with quartz sand to absorb vibrations. Without the sand the pipes were ringing ... | |
| Big source improvement using CD player How do you get the Oppo BD 105 to stream Tidal?You can use a Upnp control point that has access to Tidal (I use the Bubbleupnp app for that, select Tidal as library). The Oppo 105 acts as a Upnp renderer, that you can select in Bubbleupnp and stre... | |
| Sound, neutrality and the pursuit of everything I think the only true reference is comparing to purely acoustical live performances (classical music, chamber, orchestra, opera, rarely jazz in small rooms). Even for those, sound varies a considerably based on room/concert hall acoustics and list... |
