Hi Chris,Anyone who has let their ET Two-equipped table go off-level knows exactly what you are describing with the term "groove anxiety". As we have discussed before, my TNT's VPI Firestone bladders leak and are a PITA to refill/recalibrate, so I... 
What do audiophiles want from a cable?
Hey Geoff,Sounds like maybe this is rocket science after all?Best to you Geoff,Dave 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hi alexa6404,My experience is that the SR Black fuses are delicate. I went with a 2 amp vs a 1 amp on my Ayre preamp’s power supply after the 1 amp blew. I have used boutique fuses for many years and this is the first one that I ever had one blow.... 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
Fair enough, noromance. I have a DR-25 I bought new and two used DR-9s purchased recently from different sellers with the intention of running them dual bridged mono. One was fitted with a refurb kit from Classe’ a couple years ago, the other bone... 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
^Agreed.Most of this thread is pre-that, in fact, waaay pre-that, jakeman.Best to you,Dave 
What do audiophiles want from a cable?
Hi chrisr,What is your opinion on the potential of liquid for rejection of RF/EMI before reaching the conductor?Best to you chrisr,Dave 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
Hi noromance,Not arguing your opinion, but many (including me) used the early Classe’ class A/B amps via the XLR inputs. Dave Reich designed the DR-9 with single-ended inputs and later succumbed to pressure from Glen Grue to add XLR inputs. Reich ...

Silent Source cables-Need advice regarding customer service or lack of--
Hi all,I am very impressed with how each of you responded to this frustrating situation, especially the OP. Best to you all,Dave  
Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap?
Hi skoczylas,You make two points, so I will as well. One, yours is the most balanced, reasonable, and intelligent post I have ever read regarding cables and most certainly involving power cords. Two, well, no need for a two here...Best to you skoc...

Hi Chris,I don’t doubt (at all) your experiences with your TNT nor with your Verdier and I agree that I am working against what was envisioned by HW in the TNT’s original design. He did, however, move away from the complex pulley system with the l... 
The dumbest stereo experience ever!
I must be missing it. This guy likes to watch reels go round and round. A lot. Reputedly, his wife put a nix on his obsession to watch hundreds of reels go round and round at once (an intervention). Why does this invite thoughts and writings about... 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
articdeath,If they were on dope in 2002, they probably aren't anymore.  You two new guys are arguing with ghosts of the past.  These posts are 14 years old and only one person (the OP) seemed to have anything but praise for Classe' amps.Dave 
Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap?
"I see a few posters here recommending plugging your amp directly into the wall socket. Isn’t that risky? How do you protect your equipment from power surges if you forego any kind of surge protection?"Hi arafiq,In almost 50 years of audio, I neve... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
"Really? That's simply amazing! Are you talking about just low frequencies here, or do the sympathetic vibrations feel like they span a wider range?"Hi cleeds,My "hand test" is not calibrated. lolYes, The deep bass frequencies do generate more per...
