An Odd Question
noble100 Switzerland wasn't actually completely neutral during WWII, Nazi pillaged money proved too tempting for the Swiss banksSwiss banks accepted Nazi cash because the banks were indeed neutral. But there are many people like you, who think a... 
Low incoming voltage
benzmanI had DTE out and the tech climbed poles and replaced some parts but still not enough to make a difference ...My experience (with a different utility) was similar. You may need to be persistent to get the matter corrected. One thing you ca... 
Low incoming voltage
millercarbonYou’re getting a steady 109-111V. So what again is the problem ... there is no problem. US voltage is just as often quoted as 110 as 120, in either case its nominal, with zero ill effects anywhere in that range ... 109 to 111 is preci... 
Tubes?
yogiboyWhat tube amps are rated at 300 watts? I've never seen oneARC 750 watt monos.  
No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why?
handymannOne can split a 220VAC line and both are already on the same side of the buss, however if you have two high current monoblocks, the ground or “common” will not be able to carry the amperage that one will need for each amp.If we are talki... 
'Life Above 20kh' Research Paper, Harmonics (Overtones)
rixthetrickIs it plausible that recordings that are captured through a broader frequency range (than considered hearing range), requiring a higher sample rate could bring digital closer to or even as good as analogue?Sure, it's plausible. Why ...

fsonicsmith... I have Fremer's set up DVD ... I thought it would teach me all I needed to know. Not even 10%.@fsonicsmith what setup info do you think is missing from Fremer's DVD?  
Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact??
br3098Mass is best added distributed along the arm ...Perhaps ...... but will have the most effect closest to the fulcrum.No, the opposite is the case. The further from the fulcrum, the greater the effect of the mass. The pickup arm works as a ... 
Cartridge Opinions - Sorry
mijostyn... there is a slight change in VTA with tracking error ...Huh? The two angles are completely unrelated. The current standard VTA seems to be 92 degrees.Oh, no, you’re confusing VTA with Stylus Rake Angle. VTA is typically around 20 degre... 
Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact??
mijostyn You can not control resonance with different mass counterweights because once the cartridge is balanced you wind up with the same effective mass regardless of counter weight mass. No, that is completely mistaken, and is one of the reason... 
Game Changing Tweak
Once again, those who clamor most often for blind listening tests reveal they don’t have a clue about valid testing: mijostynYou have to be blindfolded and sitting in your listening position. Have a friend or your wife plug and unplug the unit. A... 
No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why?
millercarbon ... I have no idea how you get 2 lines of 110 out of 220 ...If you’re in the US, NEC allows a 240VAC line to be split into two 120VAC lines with a shared neutral. You can do this because the two lines are different phases. Each 120VA... 
Why don‘t servers/players incorporate polarity switches
Many preamplifiers include this function. I don't see any advantage to having the feature in a server. 
Shipping. Hard Lesson.
If you rely on shipping for your electronics, sooner or later you’re going to suffer damage or loss. It’s inevitable regardless of which carriers you choose to use. Here are some tips that have worked for me.First, document everything, includi...
