I guess I am lucky to avoid this form of audiophilia nervosa. My speaker cables are short and suspended in the air between the amp and the speaker (Connections up high on the speaker).

Watch the Townshend You Tube video, silly! Max explains the Pod, which behaves like a bellows, iirc. I would watch it again, but my computer has a virus that prevents me from doing so. Me too, swampwater. The Eminent Technology LFT-8b has it’s binding posts mounted on the top of it’s bass bin, and my power amp is at about the same height, on the top shelf of a stand, the speaker cable suspended between the two. Same with my Quad ESL's, which are on Arcici stands. Have to check the tightness of the amp and speaker posts every once in a while! |
https://youtu.be/dW9-r83IvhI Springs! Obviously the springs need to be on outriggers (and elegant looking ones they are) for things that are top heavy, you know, like the speakers in the video. geoff kait give me a stiff enough spring and I’ll isolate the world |
Geoffkait, I’ve always considered your comments to be balanced, informative and fair, so I would ask that you TRY the Townshends before commenting on what they "seem like." It is POSSIBLE that your springs come close to or, Max Townshend forbid (!), equal them. But you know as well as I do that people commenting on what they have not heard fits Ivor Tiefenbrun’s dictum: "If you haven’t heard it, you don’t have an opinion." It’s dismaying how many ignorant comments there are about things people have never even seen, much less heard (and I’m not including you in that statement, since I’ve rarely disagreed with what you’ve written. And I can’t dispute what you say here, since I haven’t heard your springs, and you haven’t heard the Townshends). Just keep an open mind, please. |
