My approach with Gaias: Outriggers and threaded knobs on top make it much easier to tighten down than the stock locking nuts; 1/2" thick Corian boards with heavy duty sliders (felt or Teflon) between floor and Gaias make it easy to move speakers.
These panels have a felt layer behind them and are designed to facilitate conversation - not music reproduction. GIK offers a variation on this architectural paneling with different thicknesses of their absorber material behind it - FYI: https://www.gikacoustics.com/?s=flatfusor&post_type=product
I would love to have a DAC with a triode output stage that also accepted DSD from an SACD and converted it directly to analogue the way the AGD does (I bought a used MK, 2). Not aware of any including the the Acuhorn R2R T which, if I am understanding what's on he website, converts DSD ro PCM...
That's great. Congratulations. As I've posted, I had the opportunity when I moved into my current home to have my first built from scratch dedicated listening room. Its not a large space, but it is giving me the most satisfying sound I have experienced. Enjoy!
Not sure if the spike portion on the Yamamoto cones is long enough - worth a try. The ebony/mpingo cones on ebay are typically well made and inexpensive, and sound similar to the Yamamoto.
The obvious improvement to make which would obviate the need for the piece of wood, would be to replace the aluminum cones (which are $20 for a set of eight at ebay) with a set made of ebony/mpingo,(also available at ebay). Both would transfer resonance (although I'm not sure to what extent the...
Hijack? So there are restrictions on the comments forum members can make? Don't own either and don't have a dog in this hunt. Just think it would be a logical and interesting comparison between two "pinnacle" products. If I was in the market for high end turntable isolation I would want to...
According to Wellfloat the patented, passive Babel controls vibrations down to the molecular level measured by nanometer. The Seismion may do more on a measured basis, but absent a direct comparison no one knows where the audibe impacts start and end. If you turn off the active isolation you...
I have listened to the world's best headphones, and have heard none that provide the accurate spatial presentation of either a live performance or a good system with speakers. I will never use them except in emergencies.
To each his own. Personally don't like the sonic presentation of headphones which don't/can't reproduce even a basic spatial illusion of a live performance (music coming from in front of you because that is where the performers are, instead of from inside of the middle of your head). Can't stand...
