mglik ... have a SmartTractor and know there are YouTubes but feel ignorant and insecure. What do I need to do. When all properly set up will I notice a change? It’s impossible to say if you’ll notice a change with a more precise cartridge alignm... 
Directionality Explained
djones51... I'm not rich so I just look at what tests there are out there that have controlled for biases.So you make your audio system decisions based on others' test results? That must really limit your choices! Why not conduct your own tests... 
Directionality Explained
djones51... I don't care if a million claim they hear a difference in wire directionality unless it's through tests controlled for biases.That's rather odd that you'd sweep aside the observations of 1 million people so readily, and it suggests ... 
is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl
atmasphere LPs since the 1960s have had bandwidth to 40KHz and beyond- I suspect that is one reason they are still around, as they have the widest bandwidth of any format. Ralph, I’m really surprised to see you say that. There’s no way you can get... 
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
headphonedreams... some amp designers actually think that the best thing is to have an integrated amp with a separate power supply. That is a two box solution but with different separation of what goes in which box. Huh?I’ve never seen such a pro...

millercarbonMichael Fremer has been making digital files from records for years. Very few of us ever will hear some of the super high end cartridges he reviews. But we can hear them via digital files. He’s played them for many people at many shows... 
Distortion on the Power Line
three_easy_paymentsSo let's say you correctly identify neighbor's A/C or solar panels as the culprit. What's the point? The point is that that you would then know the problem is not with your service entrance or from something inside your home.  
is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl

stevejewelsSimple question. What does sampling rate mean? The rate at which the original analog source is SAMPLED. The digitizing process only keep data which occurs at the sampling interval. The rest is ignored and lost.What you state seems i...
