| Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums The performance of any speaker will be radically transformed. My $33K Tetra 606s easily became $66K speakers. The improvement with Podiums was the greatest of any upgrade. | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 I had mentioned that 1260 applied to one speaker cable did not do anything. Now Rick told me two things. 1. Some contacts are too polished to hold 1260 well. 2. Speaker spades and bananas need to be completely covered. I did notice that my spade... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @larsman Bought "Damn" LP from Amazon for $28. Listening to the YouTube now. Super interesting and musically terrific. Drama and content! If only there was no "Us and Them". | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @larsman The similarities to today are shocking. Cult mentalities. Propaganda.Violence. And even worse, a propaganda machine unimagined. On the Rap side, just learned that Kendrick Lemar won the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for “Damn”. For “capturin... | |
| Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek I think it is Ralph who designed the first, and still one of the very few, truly balanced phono stages. I run a balanced line from my TT. It is very true that there are noise and microphonic problems with the stock Chinese tubes. Ralph weeds thro... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? ghasley So true that there are “material negative societal circumstances”. So much still and so disturbing. So much so that it is the underlying theme of so much Rap. I always thought that Nazi Germany was not unique and that it could happen an... | |
| All In One CD Player and Speakers If all you want is CD and radio, the Meridian Ferrari (F80) is the best SQ. I got mine for $1K. So, this guy should take around $1200. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisaf257-meridian-ferrari-receivers | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Now having listened to many Rap artists I feel I can give a more complete evaluation. In general, Rap is not made for audiophiles. Mostly, it is electronically based. Acoustic instruments are mostly absent. Surely, I have heard some pieces that ar... | |
| Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek I started with an A-S MP-3 and moved up to the MP-1. I was using an Audible Illusions preamp and was set on adding a Zesto phono stage. But after quite a few talks with Ralph and owning the great M-60s, I came to understand that the Atma preamps w... | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade Without a doubt, the Best Bang for the buck is $349 for High Fidelity Cables NPS 1260! Even only applying it to the phono IC, the improvement in SQ is stunning. Hard to imagine but HFC is introducing NPS Q45T saying it is twice as effective. Boy... | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? Correct me if I am wrong but it appears that a majority of us Forum dwellers are about the same age. My Freshman year in college was 1971. Boomers! As a Voice Performance major in the conservatory I had to have my first serious system. Anyone rem... | |
| REVIEW: Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables My feelings about Fideliums is that there should be many, many much pricier speaker cables flooding the used market. I replaced $6K cables that are now relatively junk. Fideliums trashed them! And that Jeff Smith is a terrific guy with an intense... | |
| Great results with NPS 1260?! Can it be applied to the female IEC plug? There is no YouTube for that. | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 I am so impressed with NPS 1260 that I felt it needed its own thread! If there is going to be an upgraded model do I have to order some and reapply? | |
| Recommendations on small ESL speakers for tiny room +1 Quad 57s were designed for small rooms. They can be enchanting even though missing highs and lows. However, the current best rebuild is Electrostatic Solutions (ESS). They are said to give much more highs and lows. |
