Been a while since I posted in this thread! I’ve moved my Focal Arche/Phonitor 2 listening station back to my stair landing and I‘ve added significant upgrades to my entertainment room 2.1 and headphone system with a Chord 2650 integrated amplifier, Chord TT2 with M-Scaler and Totem Forest speakers with Storm Sub. My wife can listen to the 2.1 system (hates headphones) and I can go to my private landing. Nice to have choices!

I've never heard the Phonitor 2, but just love the look of it.

When any manufacturer takes the time to give their component a genuinely balanced, together visual design, I totally appreciate it.

Spring cleaning...
So. Much. Dust.

@Gadget67 Acoustic pucks under a SS amp?

I bought an 8 pack and had 4 left over so I figured it couldn’t hurt! It’s magical...the music sparkles...I hear things I’ve never heard before...I now levitate while I listen...my love life is better...

Don't the window sticker hurt system transparency?

The Arche is really made for Focals headphones, but these look great on them.

I can't answer that but from the looks of things it definitely adds coloration

I have to live with a bit less transparency. If I remove them, floor noise from the kids goes way too high.

Life is full of tradeoffs!

I was going to buy the Abyss 1266 Phi TC but you have convinced me for those acoustic pucks... Thanks a lot, I save a lot of money

They really don't work that well with headphones anyway. I tried for years and found no matter how I placed them between my ears and the headphones, I couldn't hear anything. And the price or quality of the headphones didn't even matter. It was so frustrating

I remember with your post the GH 50 mod by @John Massaria with those little furniture dots... But in his case the results are wonderful (and there are others here that think the same)

Ahhh...that’s right....the spiked feet...strange it has that...can be used as a weapon when someone startles you unexpectedly.
