    Anyone try Isoacoustics Gaia’s and Townshend Seismic Podiums?

    Yes, those are cool. Most users live with one capacity model from IsoAcoustics or Townshend without moving up or down but accommodating all capacities in one product is the Gold Standard... then you only have to be concerned with the footprint dimensions.

    Anyone try Isoacoustics Gaia’s and Townshend Seismic Podiums?

    I worked with Townshend for several years and I work with IsoAcoustics Gaia now for the past few years. The main advantage of Townshend Podiums is that some speakers don’t have fittings to accept threaded footers but I feel their isolation performance is substantially similar. I never did a...

    PACIFIC AUDIO FEST

    I wouldn't assume any brand will not be at the show. Many dealers have not submitted their brands and the list on the website is not up to date yet.

    PACIFIC AUDIO FEST

    How about the rest of you? Is anybody else coming to the Pacific Audiofest in Seattle at the end of July? Anyone out there who's in the area but hasn't heard about the show?

    PACIFIC AUDIO FEST

    Kind of looks like Covid is with us for the long haul. We'll see what the numbers look like at the end of July but if they're still high come with an N95 mask. Then you can roam the rooms and halls and not give it a thought.

    Torus Power - Seeking Technical and User Feedback on Torus NBT Technology

    That's some serious Gryphon gear. It's my experience that dynamics and punch is one of the biggest strengths of transformer units. That it's more of a dense, solid sound but doesn't have the airy, lilting, treble nuance of other solutions.

    Torus Power - Seeking Technical and User Feedback on Torus NBT Technology

    I've read nothing but good things from people using Torus power conditioners. In some of my early systems, I used BPT power conditioners, which also rely on massive transformers but use balanced power technology, where Torus uses their Narrow Bandwidth Technology. I noticed with balanced power...

    How to Play Tidal on Innuos?

    I'm not too interested in Roon after they raised the price. After using the Tidal Windows desktop app I found the Roon UI to be rather inferior for my preference. I'm a bit confused at the idea of one player not sounding as good as another. My understanding is that the driver embedded in the OS...

    How to Play Tidal on Innuos?

    Can anyone explain how you're playing Tidal on Innuos/Squeezebox? I've been trying to set up Tidal to play on Innuos but the setup is not as straight-forward as I would like. As far as I can tell, the only option to control Tidal is an Android app like Orange Squeeze (I don't have an iPhone). I...

    Inverse RIAA File for Phonostage Burn-in - Where to find one?

    In the past, I've used an Isotek burn-in file from a DAC to burn-in phonostage components. I've read on forums that this can be done with an inverse RIAA file. Any thoughts on this and where one can be found?

    Cable Burn-in Devices - Looking for Recommendations

    Thanks, everyone. I'm going with the Audioharma. The Hagerman is a relatively good deal but a more durable device is probably better for my use. I'm skeptical that it makes sense to buy wiring and connector upgrades for this type of application, so I would go for the Classic model but a slight...

    Wolf Audio - What do you think?

    I've been looking at adding Wolf Audio Systems to our product lineup at Jaguar Audio Design. I'm certainly impressed by how well the company is run. I wonder if there are any users out there who would like to share their thoughts? We already work with Innuos. Has anyone heard products from both...

    Where Does Balance Power Work Best?

    Several years ago, I had some systems that sounded amazing with balanced power. Then I tried a BPT Signature with a First Watt amp and it was absolutely lethargic (I think it had an 80lb Plitron transformer). I wonder if you all would offer some advice when using units of this size, what kind of...

    Cable Burn-in Devices - Looking for Recommendations

    I'm looking for recommendations on devices to speed up the burn-in on cables (Power, Interconnect, Speaker). Even better if it's something that can work on components and speakers; so far the only thing I've ever encountered in that area are the break-in playback files. The Hagerman FryBaby...
