What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
mijostyn Lets say cleeds (this is just an example) says mahgister saw a Sherman tank fly. I take a look at a picture of a Sherman tank and reply that mahgister is hallucinating again ... Cleeds replys, "How can you say that? You just saw a pict... 
Review of the SMARTractor and SMARTstylus
millercarbonMy experience has always been that the two most sensitive and therefore critical things to get right are VTA and VTF ... Both of which do make a big difference. Especially VTA. Which, again, cannot be set by any tool, but only by e...

audio2designBy empirical you mean anecdotal.No, by "empirical" I mean "empirical." I understand that you tend to consider empirical data as inherently anecdotal, so it's odd that you now seek a distinction between the two. It would be best to le...

brskie ... Since the AR Phono 3SE is a fully differential phono stage, and, since it ONLY has RCA inputs and a ground post then:      On each of the RCA inputs, do the center pins and the shields carry the hot (+) and cold (-) signals respecti... 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs
rmdmooreTechnically a phono cartridge is "floating" which means it’s neither balanced or single ended. It can be wired either way ...I am surprised that there remains so much confusion on this. A phono cartridge is inherently balanced. That it ca...
