Replacing the speakers link with silver wire
I think it’s a good idea, what could that tiny piece of wire cost?  Perhaps it will make listening better and you can find out first hand and report back (if you wish). 
how much better is the kuzma 4 point then my TTW Jelco
I would choose Kuzma 4Point assuming your turntable will allow it to be mounted.    
Do you remember when Audiogon was just a bulletin board classified ad site?
Like several others here, I joined Audiogon in 1999 and came every day to read ads and posts.  I still come several times a day,  addictive to say the least.I’ve exchanged ideas with lots of people at this site, eventually we made a point of meeti... 
USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable?
Good cable, but TotalDAC cable beats AQ Diamond.That goes to show that sound is system dependent.  My findings are identical to rgs92, Audio Quest Diamond USB is the best I’ve heard.I had several other brands including TotalDAC.   TotalDAC was dar... 
Tonearms longer than 12 inches
Is this the Albert Porter I have heard about over the years with the Technics tables??? Or am I old enough to be hallucinating again!!!If so it is nice to meet you.HWHello Harry,Yes, I am the guy that prefers Technics SP10MK3 and 12" tonearms. ... 
Tonearms longer than 12 inches
The problem is I have 7 tape machines and hundreds of tapes, many of them master copies, and the 12" 3D printed arm sounds more like the tape than the 10" does. We are talking subtle, it is not gob smack in the face!!! It is a painstaking set... 
Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer
Indeed....I am definitely seeing a trend with your posts, taters...you seem ...well...very bitter.Funny ;-)WOW! This is quite the Exposé.Thanks for the inside info, it changed my life.Maybe even funnier.    
Why are people always getting into pissing matches because they think what they have is better

Etta James - Mono vs. Stereo
Sorry to be a bit off topic.  I’m a huge fan of Etta James and although little experience with mono versus stereo on Argo, I would like to suggest a couple of her albums on the basis of sound quality and artistic excellence.Both are on Fantasy lab... 
Review: Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature Turntable
Rushton,Your review is as pertinent today as it was in 2004.  It still stands as one of the best reviews I’ve read and certainly a stand out achievement for an Audiogon post.LP reproduction is equally important today.   Many fine titles have been ... 
JL Audio Subs
I used two JLAudio subs, model F212.  I put them on the outside of my line array stereo speakers and used them for music and movies.   At one time I had all the surround speakers and amps but find two channel adequate for movies now and much simpl... 
I Dislike new format
I sent an email to Audiogon and they are aware of the issue with Virtual Systems not showing up with new content.   They say they are working on it.There are a lot of systems that I keep up with, they are valuable for me and I like the photographs... 
Did they really delete all the user reviews?
Have they?  That would be a loss, lots of good information and some of those reviews were well written. 
I Dislike new format
Recent Activity no longer includes updates and comments on Virtual Systems. This is a major problem as far as I am concerned.I agree, there are many members who's systems are evolving and I like reading about changes.   I hope that‘s addressed. 
Cleaning records. How often really?
Here are some points I will add to what has already been posted here. The Last company did indeed make a product that was advertised as mold release and it was eventually banned because it was a Freon compound which was a great cleaning agent but ...
