| Best Headphone under 1k$? Making progress in burn in of my HiFiMan RE-600S V2 earbuds. Sounds more open today and more musical but still no bass and sound is quite synthetic and tinny. But it’s better than a couple days ago. Kraftwerk sounds super duper. I’m getting the fe... | |
| Dumped the rack But in that case the system would behave non-uniformly due to unequal loads on the springs. Ideally, when you push the top plate up and down you want to see smooth vertical up and down motion. With unequal loading on the springs the motion up and ... | |
| Dumped the rack No problem. One or two springs can be moved a bit manually to distribute the load uniformly and obtain absolute level of the platter. This is also an issue for many amps that have one or two large transformers on one side. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? I hate to judge before all the facts are in but there appears to be several people here who didn’t get the memo. There are not two sides to this argument. There is only one side. In fact there isn’t even an argument. The river is deep and wide, br... | |
| Dumped the rack Yes. The Super Stiff Springs are very stable under load even when the center of gravity is on the high side. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? astewart89444@geoffkait I agree with @mahgister above. Thanks for the psaudio post. I admit I am in Paul’s camp. Although I have overcome some initial hesitations and tried tweaks that seemed to make some intuitive sense to me, it will probably ta... | |
| What is the least compressed signal? An observation: when you analyze the CD offerings on eBay especially, the highly collectible and or desirable ones, what you will find is that the highly compressed versions sell for considerably less than the uncompressed versions which usually b... | |
| What is the least compressed signal? noble100Lossless methods can provide high degrees of digital compression, but there is no loss in size or sound quality. >>>>No loss in sound quality except for the compression, I.e., loss of dynamic range. And just to clarify a commo... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? PS Audio - “Fear of Tweaks” (tales of the intrepid high end electronics designer and his adventures into the Great Beyond)teaser: PS Audio Fear of TweaksChange can be tough for me, especially when the means to an end make no sense.

| Dumped the rack My Super Stiff Springs will isolate 60 lb. nicely. Just place one spring under each corner of the slate turntable directly on the concrete slab, no carpet. Easy as pie. 🥧 And they’re only twelve bucks each. As it turns out the 3” concrete slab mov... | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? Now you’re getting smart. | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? An old girlfriend of mine married a B-52 pilot. Coincidence? | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Isn’t it about time to seriously consider just what kind of world we’re going to be leaving to Keith Richards? | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? I just took a sneak listen on day three of burn in just to see how things were progressing, and shut my mouth and call me corn pone if it didn’t sound like music. No bass to speak of yet, but dynamic and not tinny sounding like yesterday. Of cours... |
