Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring
I did some research when I thought I might want one of these for my VPI and found out that many audiophiles who buy them wind up not using them because they get to be a PIA. Now that’s just what I found, you may not. Also. Haven’t heard great feed... 
If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?
Nice work, diy can be an excellent option and parts connexion has some great materials.   
Tidal class-action
Hope this has some sort of positive outcome.   
The best part about MQA bankruptcy..
That’s a shame, not that I’m a MQA fan but less options for us, and less competition if Tidal fails. Also, there really needs to be a solution to large hi rez digital files and streaming. Streaming is the future and that includes Mobile streaming ...

Wait till you try Shunyata, with one of their power conditioners…  
Forced to DIY

What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
Yes, and you don’t need to go to a store anymore because now they’re on-line in forums like this and on the phone! When that happens I won’t buy anything from them, and in some instances even the product they are selling from anyone. That’s why I ... 
Amp Warranty Repair - What's an acceptable timescale for turnaround?
This is not warrantee related but nevertheless relevant. I just had one of my MC30s worked on by audio classics that I sent up the first week of January and it’s still there ready to be shipped back this week. I fear it’s going to get worse becaus... 
Law Of Diminishing Returns?
I hit the law of diminishing returns within every upgrade! +1 @secretguy  
Yes, digital cables matter too
Yes they make a huge difference. Coax too…no toslink. I went from an Analysis Plus Digital Oval which is an excellent cable in its own right to a Nordost Valhalla digital when I had my node. It was like someone remove a mussel. The only other issu...
