Anybody use HRS EXR racks -any feedback (or maybe lack thereof lol)?
@mulveling  To clarify - I’m not experiencing feedback issues with my setup. In fact the sound is very good. The main issue is external vibrations that cause skipping based on the sensitivity of my cart (DS Audio W3) - its a very light cart, ama...

@mulveling I should add, in addition to the ERX rack, an S3 isolation shelf add-on is proposed specifically for the techdas turntable.

@dwette    your 3 tier rack is what I'm looking at. I'd buy the rack and the top shelf to start. possibly adding shelves later.

@mulveling  Thanks for the detailed response. The Techdas does have an air-lifted platter for vibration control, so the stand under it should probably be rigid I believe. They produce their own racks, but they're more akin to museum pieces or h...

“Have you contacted TechDAS to see what they recommend? I would think they would have some suggestions as to what works best for their products.”   Funny enough, they make some of the best isolation stands in existence. Their top end tables com...

Some quick research into the negative stiffness isolation approach - it looks like a great solution for non-balanced, symmetrical devices.  The techdas airforce V had a built in ant-vibration system and is very assymetrical as far as weight distr...

Thanks. I hadnt heard of these.  It looks like the equivalent product would come out to about the same cost as the HRS rack when you factor in that it supports a single unit.  The tech looks interesting, the reviews are mostly self generated - i ...

https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2727176 @upstateaudiophile - Im coming in later here - but I noticed your post above regarding the JL Audio F's subs.  I'm preparing to add 2 to my Wilson Watt/Puppy's using the Wilson ActivXO crossover, but thi... 
Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
@ghdprentice good point. Some Power Conditioners contain dedicated ports for variable current devices - such as amps - this is an important feature to consider.

Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
I have a Niagara 3000 and I’m very happy with it, as many others on this thread agree.    its such a polarizing topic, as some other forums are outright against the benefit of power conditioners (snake oil et all. However I’ve noticed the people ... 
What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X?
I’m in the market for new speaker cables. For what its worth I’ve run Nordost purple flair from my Mcintosh ma12000 (tube/solid state) to my Sabrina X for over a year and I’ve found them to be a good pairing. I never once thought anything sounded... 
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
1)Does anyone here think Wilson isnt aware of these measurements? 2) Lets assume we all agree that they are.  IMO if 1 and 2 are true, then its intentional, and perhaps for reasons we’ll never be privy to. But the reason could be that flattening... 
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
All good engineering makes certain assumptions about the intended applications and audience for a product. It’s completely valid for Wilson to take the approach they have - for the sound quality they were trying to achieve, the context of the tim... 
Problem with my Rose 150 b
I realize this is an old thread but I’ve been going through a similar issue on and off for about 9 months. I use a Roon Nucleus to stream Tidal through a Rose 150b. If I choose ethernet as the input to the Rose, eventually I get drops and then s...
