| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables dekay, exactly, who says they are great based on cost, or ideas, gotta hear them, AND you need someone to help you blindly compare them so you don’t have expectation bias of the nth degree.

| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video my electrovoice crossovers, made in 1958, are in the photo above, x336, a metal can painted grey, filled with tar. I thought, age, make some new ones. Custom builders advised me they last forever, as do the drivers of the horns (impregnated linen)... | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video I would rather he tested floor standing speakers, but his conclusion (favoring absorbing isolation, not hard transfer spikes) matches my own conclusion after many years. Years ago, I thought I was so smart when I removed the wheels of my JSE Mode... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! I have read that re-tippers say MOST styluses they work on are un-evenly worn, indicating that MOST do not have anti-skate set properly. Ray Leung of VAS just checked and cleaned half a dozen of my cartridges using their powerful scope. He readil... | |
| Ice fans for listening during warm/hot days IF you can successfully run a de-humidifier in the space prior to listening, that can get the space more comfortable, the opposite of blowing over ice. | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? Unless a problem exists, I would not needlessly complicate a home audio system with xlr. We run out of things to ’improve’ don’t we. I tried xlr, and found it a waste of time, but at least I now know. our home residential systems, the majority ... | |

| Acos Lustre GST-801: TONEARM LIFT FIXED (early model). you make the initial height adjustment with two allen head set screws that fixes the arm to the rotating height mechanism. the weight of the arm is fixed by these. here is a photo with measurements of the short lever screw with a plastic tip that... | |
| Acos Lustre GST-801: TONEARM LIFT FIXED (early model). the arm lift handle flexes a long thin metal strip. That strip will push the lifter mechanism's innards up ONLY IF the pin that protrudes from the side of the bottom of the lifter mechanism is properly positioned above the metal strip (out of sigh... | |
| Happy Father’s Day Happy Father’s Day Indeed. Many years ago I learned to be ready when someone says "What do you want? for ...." My wife gave me this, I asked for it after hearing some of it when my friend Jim brought his here a while ago. If you like Jazz Bass, ... | |
| Mcintosh MQ112 Live near enough to me in Plainfield, NJ, 07062? I got hearing aids and a dual 31 band equalizer at the same time, thinking the eq might do a better job if I plugged the inverse of my hearing test into it. Turns out the hearing aids have a progra... | |

The Luxman and others use a ’reduced weight’ motor/bearing design, and you would not want much weight, these rubber... | |
