Recommendations on Hooking Up Dual Subwoofers and Speakers
ja_kub_sz ... (Technics SU-R1000) only has one unbalanced "pre-out" and one unbalanced "rec-out" and I want to run dual subs. Ideally stereo sub set up, but open to mono subs if necessary. Could I just run RCA cables from the left channels o... 
3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢
noromanceLooks like " sensesundertime" left the house and deleted all posts from their profile which is a shamePerhaps he was a victim of his own posts. Many of his "facts" were confused and he was struggling to keep up.  
Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War?
Nope. 
Quboz/Aurender Issue
lalitkDid you contact Aurender customer support? ...waltersalas Yes, I did. So far, we have not been able to find a solutionGood luck. I had issues with Aurender as well. My solution was finally to dump it in favor of a Bryston.  
What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable?
lewm... The question then was not "whether" VTF goes up when the pivot point is raised, but "how much" does it go up. Someone did the experiment, and the answer was "not very much", but definitely VTF went UP.Yes, it goes up, and it's easily ... 
why do so many discussions turn contentious?
sensesundertimeMany opine about so called time and phase correct loudspeakers but alas the facts are that there is no correlation to these being preferred to others that don't quite emphasize this trait.Really? Do you have actual data to suppo... 
What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable?

What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable?
wlutkeWhen VTA is changed, adjusting the tail up decreases VTF. Just the opposite: Raising the "tail" (pivot) will increase VTA.See VTA/SRA diagram here.

sensesundertimeIf any method is the "best" method, then the penultimate implementations of that method should all approach being the same.Why would that be? Sometimes, the second-best approach uses a completely different technique. Or, perhaps, yo... 
Please help me not make a dumb mistake
Your speaker level inputs share a ground common between left and right. Amplifiers that use differentially balanced circuits have separate grounds for left and right. I'm pretty sure the PL amplifier is a single-ended amp, so you should be fine, ... 
Aged components / service!?
rird a pre which is between 10-15 years old. Personally i kind of feel this is close to a no go. I get conflicting information with regards to service and age ... It depends. There are components from companies such as ARC or Mac that are re...

lewmMegabuck turntables are only a byproduct of societal problems ...Huh? Do you think expensive turntables are designed by homeless people, or what?
