kosst_amojanSo, if I give you a good dose of LSD ...That isn’t going to happen. Your arguments and illogic here are becoming pathetic. 
VPI ADS Versus SDS
bpolettiI have never really understood the need for an SDS or other similar type of device. The only REAL reason for such a device is to reduce the voltage to the motor during record play. That may be true for you. But for anyone who sometimes pl...

gdhal@cleeds Look, I’m truly sorry if my written replies offend you in any way.Have you considered that "Ain’t nobody messin’ with you but you"?Huh? I’m not the slightest bit offended by you. If offense was your objective, it’s unfortunate that yo...

gdhalWell, I thought I made it clear that I'm not demanding anythingHuh? You have repeated numerous times statements such as this: it behooves those who claim to hear an improvement when an ordinary fuse/wire is reversed to be honest with themse...

nonoiseTo behoove is to state that it is the responsibility or duty for a person to do something. That is flat out ridiculous on it's face.  No one owes you anything save for relating what they hear(d). If you doubt it, it is your responsibili...

cleeds - It’s fair to question positive results. gdhal Absolutely. This is why it behooves those who claim to hear an improvement when an ordinary fuse/wire is reversed to be honest with themselves and do a blind test (i.e. a test where ones ...

geoffkaitThere is such a thing as placebo effect, probably most applicable to medical applications rather than audio, but I give you that. There is such a thing as expectation bias, also. I’ll grant you that ... those “psychological” effects can b... 
Is overloading of a preamp volume dependent?
montaldo I have read that if a phono pre signal is overloading a preamp, it should be independent of volume. Does this vary based on the preamp's architecture or is it always true? The louder the signal from a phono cartridge, the more likel... 
VPI ADS Versus SDS
gbanderhoosThis is an interesting alternative for little more money than the original ADS:http://www.9tci.com/Some VPI motors consume more than the 7-watt limit of that controller, so some caution is warranted.  
Dynamics varying with track position.

Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
kosst_amojanThere appears to be two basic sides to this debate. Those who don't buy that Ethernet cables make a difference, and their opinion is buttressed by reams of facts. Then you have those who think they do make a difference, and they ... 
Moving from MM to MC
It's really impossible to offer you a meaningful suggestion without knowing more, such as what pickup arm and phono preamp you will be using with this cart. 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
cleeds I’ve simply pointed out that what you claim is a scientifically valid test jinjuku Links to posts please. Just scroll up, silly - you’ve been doing your best here to defend the validity of your testing protocol. If you now recognize that... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
jinjukuI have the sighted subjectivist crowd DEMANDING scientifically rigorous testing. Not so. I’ve simply pointed out that what you claim is a scientifically valid test is nothing of the sort. If you can find a single post where I was maintaini...
