"I like the looks of a $20,000 turn table.  However, after the first play the quality goes down."Hi Larry, looks like you've been sold a turkey with that turntable. 
Power cable education needed
" the quality of the power cord matters just as much as the quality of the amp"@Ronboco, you may be a newbie.  Please don't listen to Miller.  The above is possibly the biggest load of hogwash he has ever written.  Being over-generous to him, thi... 
What is better, analog or digital?
Please can we have a ban on repeat posting of this topic?Why does everyone want to weigh in EVERY time?Do they just pick from a library of old posts?I read nothing above but the topic title. 
Math + Logic + Science = something completely mad...
Totally looney to put big amps on speakers.For all the valid and good reasons stated above.If space is at such a premium, why not hang the amps on wires from the ceiling so they sit in the air just 1cm above the top of the speaker.But @jerkface do... 
Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components?
@artemus_5     "He found out that listeners had no problem telling these consonants apart when they were played back immediately one after the other. But as he increased the pause between the playbacks, the listener’s ability to distinguish betwee...

This is the most stupid thread ever.There is no need for discussion.DON'T DO IT.There is no second way.And + about 15 for all the posts that spotted the snake oil. 
Favorite cable brand.
Just look at the huge list of companies making big money out of gullible audiophiles.  I don't say cables can't make a difference but hasn't it all got a bit silly? I note that each post names yet another cable as favourite.  Surely if there is b... 
Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl?

Speaker purchase question
OP is dull.1.   If there were no pix or mention of grilles then there were no grilles.Why didn't you ask before buying?Duurrr.2.  The review probably stated they sound better without grilles, most do.So you've got better than you expected, don't f...
