| Vibration isolation or absorption? This is a very complex but important subject. As others have pointed out, whether to absorb or transmit vibration depends on the floor, the equipment and personal preferences. After thirty years of experiments these are my findings: On speakers.... | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings Ravel, and Satie, Messiaen and possibly Prokoviev | |
| 300b lovers @atmasphere @donsachs Thanks for highlighting the dependence of power tubes on driver tubes as well as on power supplies and transformers. My Wavac EC300B depending on whether I use EAT300bs with their preferred Tungsols 6L6 Coke bottles or Taka... | |
| 300b lovers Don and Ralf, both classy members of the community contributing their know how. Stay around to educate us! | |
| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? Sounds like a ground loop. Try connecting to ground separately or a grounding box. Does this happen only on phono or also higher voltage inputs? | |

| Scheu Turntable Importer in US? Scheu tables are superbly built. I own a ‘Das Laufwer2’ with a slate base. It benefitted majorly from switching the motor for a Teres Verus rimdrive | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings There are two reference recordings of the Etudes: Krystian Zimmerman and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Both are marvelous but quite different. | |
| Innuos and Roon? Roon with its heavy CPU usage is the opposite philosophy to InnuOS. Purely in terms of SQ InnuOS’ Sense beats Roon by a country mile. If you insist on using Roon, InnuOS is not the right choice | |

First clean up the power 4.Make sure everything has good grounding 5. Then fight RFI/EMI wherever possible 6. Put speakers on sp... | |
| Ferrite cores on cables Use 2 1.5V AAA batteries with the ‘+’ pole pointing to the speaker. Much better than ferrites | |
| Why do I need a switch? A cheap addition would be a PinkFaun Isolator going into the Devialet. You might be pleasantly surprised. Also adding a quality clock to the Etherregen and more importantly a better power supply has major benefits | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? The Phoenix Net is in no small portion a reclocker. In my system I reclock the ethernet with both an Etherregen clocked by Antelope 10m preceded by a LHYaudio Ocxo switch. The effect of both is demonstrable and not achievable by Isolators or filte... | |
| A simple tube hack Nope, blue tack doesn‘t melt at tube temperatures | |
| Making speakers “disappear”….. Unfortunately there is no hard and fast rule. Much depends on room geometry incl. height and damping. As a general rule on conventional speakers the time difference between direct sound and first reflection point has the most important impact on p... |
