| Which phono section to buy: match table or cartridge? Give Keith Herron a call. Most of the improvement made to the VTPH-1 to the -2 were in the section used only for low output cartridges. Keith occasionally has a traded-in VTPH-1mm that he will sell you for not much more than your $1,000 target (s... | |

| BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE $2499 will buy you a pair of the already-mentioned Eminent Technology LFT-8b, and unlike the somewhat similar Magneplanar LRS, .7i, and 1.7i (all being magnetic-planars), which are a 4 ohm load and require a considerably stout power amp, the LFT-8... | |
| Preamp connection to multiple powered subwoofers If you buy Rythmik subs, the XLR versions of the company's plate amp allows piggy-backing of one sub to another.

| DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor @audiozenology, the only rubber I use for isolation is a set of Sims Navcom Silencers in place of the stock springs in my VPI HW-19 Mk.3 turntable, a favorite mod amongst HW-19 owners.

One form of Isodamp is made expressly for constrained-layer damping, another for damping of metal ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @reubent, did you ever manage to see Jellyfish live? Insanely great! The drummer stood up, singing and playing. Jason Faukner left after the first album, it was the second line-up I saw, at The Palace on Vine Street, across from the Capitol Record... | |
