Townshend Audio workshop at Apha Highend
ALPHA HIGH END, Brasschaat BE, invited all hifi lovers to attend a series of Townshend talks.
Introduced over the weekend, a number of award-winning components and techniques that Max Townshend has found to be indispensable, when aiming to enhance the reproduction quality of any high-end system. an A-B listening test with/without Townshend Isolation and with/without Townshend Supertweeters.
Talks included:
ENHANCING SUPERTWEETERS
Introduced in 1999 the Townshend Supertweeters are Townshend long-term best selling product.
Max will describe the importance of incorporating supertweeters with most loud-speakers.
Crucial for high fidelity sound, they give an accurate reproduction of very fast transients, life-like harmonics structure and precise timing.
Adding Supertweeters to the speakers takes the listening experience to new dimensions.

SUPERIOR HI-FI CABLES
Max will be discussing the Townshend interconnect and speaker cable philosophy, incorporating “construction and network analysis” applied to optimised performance of audio cables:
-Characteristic impedance
-Impedance matching
-Cable geometry
Applying these theories to cables will give a breakthrough performance.

TRANSPARENT PRE-AMPLIFIERS
Now available in its latest incarnation, the Allegri+ reveals even more. Townshend will explain their implementation to achieve, what many critics describe as the most transparent control unit available. The combination of passive design, Fractal wired autotransformers and constrained layer mass damping, gives The Allegri+ exquisitely detailed sound, over an inky-black background.

OUTSTANDING SEISMIC ISOLATION
The WHY and the HOW of isolating individual hi-fi components (e.g. turntables, disk players, streamers, computers, DACs and amplifiers, etc.) and all speakers, to improve and optimise their performance. The Townshend method of isolation, which extends down to 3Hz, is unique in the audio industry. By achieving stunning levels of isolation in all three planes, they far surpass that of all competitive systems.
Max Townshend will explain how Seismic Isolation works, using visual and physical experiments. There will also be a chance to We are looking forward to seeing you.
