What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi?
decibellI believe it is safe to say that maintaining absolute platter speed in the presence of an ever changing load (friction from needle tip) is physically impossible! Please explain how the speed of a 22-pound spinning platter can be alter... 
Bi-amping Rules
czarivey When you bi-amp, you become a speaker designer, like it or not.Not necessarily. Some speaker systems are designed to be biamplified.

kalali But gain aside, I still don't quite understand the need for an outboard crossover to control the frequency between the HF and LF sections since both amps are feeding full range and each section of the speaker still operates within its... 
Bi-amping Rules
aewhistoryWhat I don't get about the entire concept of using SS for low freq and tubes for high freq is there will always be a dramatic power differential.  So how can you begin to balance out the sound levels coming from your tweeter and wo...

thom_mackris Given how we've learned that a stylus tracking at 2 gm. can modulate the speed of even a massive platter ...I've seen this claim before, but never seen any proof of it. I've measured the speed of my turntable with it 22-pound platt... 
What Does a Cartridge Compliance/Tonearm Mass Mismatch Sound Like?
The stylus may leap out of the groove, and visible pumping of the woofers is also common. 
Is it extra gain or two matched cables or both that improve the sound ?
  rauliruegas This is a totally free world, like it or not.I wish you were correct, Raul, but your couldn't be further from the truth if you tried.  
Stillpoints Ultra6 reference vibration controlers?
bo1972 I have proven that I can create about 300% more quality than other companies for exactly the same money. I haven't seen that proof posted here. And I don't think it's possible to measure sound improvements in terms of percentage of tot... 
Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp??
lewm .... even simpler, you might find that re-arranging the plugs so that they all come off the same AC receptacle would permit you to go back to using 3 prongs. This is the closest to the best solution to this common problem, imo. The hu... 
Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp??
mattmiller I was able to place two 3to2 adapters on all components EXCEPT the main amplifier, I think by doing this the system is now funneling the grounds down to the one outlet, and now its quiet as a mouse!!Do you mean that you've used adap... 
ARC Ref 210...tube virgin
If you haven't yet decided on what speakers you'll be using, it's probably premature to choose an amplifier. Given that you've never owned a tube amplifier before, what led you to decide on buying a Ref 210? 
Stillpoints Ultra6 reference vibration controlers?
bo1972... I have proven many times that I do not have any competition ... In surround I can outperform very easily anything what is on the market ... I can see 3-4 steps further ( deeper) in sound than other people can. I see patterns most peo...

I'm glad this is all clear now!

yogiboycleeds,Why is the OP asking for that option on an amp?I don't think he is asking for that.Why would he???

yogiboy"If you need a balance control you need an integrated amp or a preamp and power amp combo."Many software applications include a balance control, including Windows itself.
