Calling all SL-1200/1210 owners!

Hi Martin,

I think it may possibly be down to the overall contact surface area, which is miniscule when the Isonoes are on the glass 'coasters'...

I'll bring one of the glass shelves on my Mana rack down next time and place it on the top of your rack and we'll see what happens

However, there's no doubt that your Techie sounds excellent, regardless of the fact that your Isonoe feet are in contact with a wooden surface.

I guess that the isolation properties built into the design of your rack compensate somewhat for the (arguably) Isonoes' sub-optimal coupling with wood, whereas on an ordinary wooden cabinet or table, results may be different. That's certainly what I've heard.

However, there are simply too many variables to know for sure exactly what is happening. The most important thing is your Techie sounds utterly fabulous, regardless (especially with the Paul Hynes SR5 PSU)!

The weekend's Techie session chez Martin went well, I gather?

[Marco]

Indeed it did, mate. Look out for my report in Blank Canvas tomorrow

Hi Marco

I think it may be worth trying the glass coaster's but just of late i have been meddling and fiddling with my system far too much ' its not perfect ! how could it be , but perhaps i should take heed of other's advice instead screwing and messing around with my set up.

So its a kind of system restore ' but not the windows kind if you see what i mean .

The Isonoes sat on my NAS board works ' and i have decided to stop tinkering with it

If only it were that easy with some Windows installations, but then I'd be out of a job

Seriously, it's worth persevering with trials but don't go too far as otherwise it's hard to 'reset' back to a known good setup. If you try something and you get that nagging feeling that something's not right, or even you feel that you don't want to play music, think hard about what change you made and undo it. It's still change and will reinforce what you've achieved so far.

Btw, just to let you guys know that the report on my trip to Martin's will be posted sometime this evening, as I'm due to go out soon on some urgent business

A.K.A. a "siesta" - semi-retired and urgent business on a Friday afternoon - yeah, right! If it's not a little nap then I bet you're off to the pub...

[Marco]

Noooooo.... This is my busy time of the year for framing things people want in the run up to Christmas, so I was out seeing a client in Llangollen. I went for lunch while I was out, though, to celebrate the profit I made

Once I've opened a bottle of wine and settled down for the evening, I'll do the write-up

Marco.

Llangollen? It's too bloody much I tell ya

[Marco]

Lol - what's wrong with Llangollen? It's a lovely little place! This is where I went for lunch - and very nice it was, too:

Llan (as they call it here) is only 15 mins away
