Laptop "ate" my first response before it got posted, tried to write it again and just now noticed the second time around I neglected to credit Rick with the bass difference. He let me know to expect this even before it happened. It is one of the ways you can be sure the speaker isolation is working, you feel the bass in your chest and gut more so than in the legs and butt. It is a big strange at first, finding yourself expecting one thing and getting another. Did not take long at all though to know which is better.
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.
