Room Treaments - Where To Begin...
15 years ago, the realtor had a funny look on his face when I was walking around the new house, with furnishings, and occasionally clapped my hands or even whistled. Before the wife moved in, I was able to try out a few arrangements for speaker pl... 
Way above my pay grade, Sound waves no longer transverse or perpendicular?
 I am still a horse drawn man until my dying day. Not up to this jump.  
Room Treaments - Where To Begin...
It is more difficult to correct what you haven't yet measured/heard.  
Two of the most powerful words ever
 I live by 'what if', but there are other combinations not so dear.      Three word phrases we never want to hear: "Honey, I'm home." "Release the hounds!"       Two word phrases that we do not want to hear: "Seize him!" "I forgot" "I'm sor... 
Nobsound springs - load range
Let's see, so we can put springs under the load, and also attach springs to the ceiling, with an adjustable rod attaching to the top of the load. Yes, a good weekend project, for sure.

Best TT setup for 2k
I hear you man. Getting back into vinyl was a different thing than I remembered from way back. Since I got lucky with the TT that I chose, it was the preamp that made the most difference. I have had too many ’sigh’ good enough preamps (4 total) th... 
What are your favorite recordings that sound best to you?
Just got 'Amused to Death' in. They weren't lyin'. One of the many recordings that I will keep forever.  
Dang it, I'm Deaf....
My best to all of the responders here, who realize that things change, sometimes at the worst possible time. My hearing got slapped pretty good at the hospital where they administered an antibiotic too rapidly. My head felt like a balloon. That wa... 
Recommendations for setting VTA
Wow, thanks everyone, this IS valuable information for me to consider. I know it’s all physics in the end, or is it geometry? Anyway, I am the kind of guy who might just a make another way of adjusting on the fly with this uni-pivot arm. You see, ... 
CUTTING DOWN A TONEARM CABLE
I just had the honor of rewiring/repairing two different tonearm cables. In short, patience and thinking ahead pays off. This is delicate work to be sure, yet I am happy with the results. The former installer of both of these cables made poor sold...
