Steve,

What do you think of the Nobsound springs

Jim,

You’re being kind of mean to the less fortunate northerners tonight😎

Art Blakey & TJM-First Flight to Tokyo:The Lost Recordings

This just arrived the other day and it lives up to the hype.

To answer Jim's question, the wood is quarter-sawn North American walnut and the inlays are of two woods, claro walnut and I can't remember the name of the other, but it's a gorgeous combo.  These are the best choices so not to clash with the zebra wood I have in the room. It's really quite stunning, those woods for the speakers.

And if it makes you Northerners feel better, I am heading to the cold.  I changed plans for travel to Mammoth, out 1 day, Wednesday to Friday.  The major storm is forecasted to drop 6 to 8 feet from main lodge to the summit and about 3 to 4 feet in town.  I-395 is expected to be closed from Bishop to Mammoth on Monday and possibly Tuesday.  All this snow in the time frame of Sunday afternoon to Tuesday night.  That's a serious storm.

Spinning vinyl tonight, after the basketball game.

Tim,

I have had a similar set out of acrylic for years. I didn’t like them as much as these. The acrylic bases on the others made an audible scratching noise. Unlike the more substantial material on the Nobsound.

I can’t really make a substantive comparison at this time but my system has never sounded better in the last few weeks and this change today did nothing to harm this. I do believe the power of the low to deep bass has benefited.

@j_husker , 

That title interested me as well. Recently ordered "Moanin'"
