Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend!


OK, I have elevated my belief in isolation.  For the first time I feel I have entered the Hi Fidelity zone.  About 3 weeks ago I purchased the Townshend Speaker Bars.  My muddy bass cleaned up, I have better imaging, clarity, precision, speed and focus.  My buddy who is not not into HiFi but has followed my adventures, was blown away.  He said, "OK, now I get why you do this."  Best money spent! 

Denon DL160 (re-tipped by Soundsmith) > Thorens TD150 > McIntosh 8900 > ALK Extreme Slope in Klipsch Belles.  Just another step in the long journey, but a Giant Step for my enjoyment.  My system took a large enough step forward that I am drawn into listening to all of my 2K plus albums again just to enjoy them in a new way. Great people to deal with too, even with Brexit messing things up.  Highly recommended!
I am not associated with them in any way, just want to pass it on.

Interesting, guessing that you had good isolation already pre-install.  I don't feel I did.  My source is currently my weak link with original Kugel Arm on the TD 150.  I feel that my speakers low end was feeding right back into it.  Wondering if I had replaced the arm and/or table first perhaps I would have noticed a similar change.  We shall see...
Speakers blu tacked to stands is all you need. Stands spiked through carpet and in contact with concrete. Stands filled with atabites.....works for me.
Atacama custom built stands for Tannoy Eatons, built like a tank.
