| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? lewm... you are using a pure tone from a test LP, not music, which is fine but does not quite mimic the real world situation.

| A blessing? Or a curse? jetter... audio2design can generally represent my thoughts on the subject ...Thanks for your candor. Frankly, I think it odd that anyone would characterize those with whom they disagree - yet never even met - as suffering from "delusions of grand... | |

| Basic technical question about digital source signals headphonedreamsYou can actually see small steps in Stereophile's measurements of many dacs.Which ones? It's a broken DAC if you can see steps on the output. | |
| The value of a good FM tuner?......, now and in the future... I bought a McIntosh MR-80 around 1980 for $2000 - the equivalent of more than $6500 now. I'd never spend that kind of money on a tuner today, but I still have the Mac and it still performs like a champ. It does require periodic service (every 12 y... | |
