What is wrong with audiophiles?
glupsonA single test, complicated and sophisticated as it may be, could be enough. The sample size is what matters more. Sample size matters, no doubt. But a test with even a large number of subjects, but that relies on a single room and single... 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
geoffkait ... a single test doesn’t mean anything. It’s the accumulation of evidence that leads to conclusions, so there must be many tests, by different individuals on different systems with different people running the tests. Only then can ... 
Best place to sell high end audio equipment?
b_limoIt appears TMR has black listed me because I haven’t accepted any of their last 10 (or so) low ball offers ... their offers have been insulting and they seem to get pretty upset “wasting” their time when I won’t accept their lowball offer. T... 
Variable Frequency Drive for Turntable
I'm 99.9999 percent sure the TD145 uses an AC synchronous motor, so any of the popular motor controllers should work. Walker, VPI, or even DIY should be a-ok. 
Stylus Profile Discussion
mijostynA stylus rake angle around 20 degrees is fine. You can only tell a difference at the extremes and every record is different anyway. You're confusing SRA with VTA - they are two different things. SRA should be set around 92 degrees, VTA ...

atdavid First, what is the goal of the test? Is it to prove that A is better than B? ... nope, that would require a properly administered test (which by the way is not hard, just requires methodology)No, our goal is to validate or disprove th... 
Heavy power cord

The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase
atdavid ou could have assumed that people who are here are adults ...I’m not at all sure that’s a safe assumption. There seem to be several juveniles who regularly post here - based on their simplistic renderings - and their clamoring to be treat... 
The science of opinion ...
atdavidnothing I say will speak as loudly as the silence ... the silence of addressing what I sayThat silence - which you acknowledge speaks more loudly than your wordy screeds - reflects the nature of your vacuous renderings. 
US source of Panzerholtz?
pryso... apparently Corian includes flakes of aluminum in the compound.  But there is no specification for size or quantity of those flakes, so the resonance characteristic can vary from one brand to another.That can't be correct, because DuPo... 
Turntable for a Newbie!
glennewdickTechnics 1500c is probably the best bets out there, proven reliability and long term resale value is also something to consider.  The 1500C is likely a good value. But it's been on the market for less than a year, so any remarks abo... 
VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER!
lewmBr3098, The Vanquish is direct drive. Only the second such ever produced by VPI.  On that level, it can honestly be said to be truly new and possibly improved compared to its single antecedent. The Vanquish is actually VPI's third DD turntab...
