| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? stereo5Magical rocks you spread around the listening room.Red and blue crystals that are put on your tonearm.Fairy dust.>>>>>Geez, speaking of spreading it....A sufficiently advanced idea is indistinguishable from magic. - audiophil... | |

| The Science of Cables No, but burn in and burn out do. | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? ESP is for shock not vibration. If ESP worked for vibration everybody and his brother would use in in high end players. | |
| The Science of Cables Yup, English Major. Grammatically correct. | |

| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? In the case of Tiger Paw the platter is not suspended magnetically. The load on the bearing is reduced, however, magnetically.from the Tiger Paw website,“Magnetic levitation has been used before, and is currently used, by a small number of exotic ... | |
| The Science of Cables Directionality, cryogenics, burn in. You can forget about everything else. | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? When Bop Till you Drop came out on LP it was one of the first digital recordings. IIRC the CD sounds very similar to the LP.From wikipedia,“Bop Till You Drop is Ry Cooder’s eighth album, released in 1979. The album was the first digitally recorded... | |

| regarding the Tiger Paw tranquility At constant speed there are no longer the rotational forces incurred during start up to overcome inertia. As I understand it the design doesn’t attempt to levitate the platter, only relieve stress on the bearing. So some friction would be expected... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? The slippage issue arises with *opposing magnets* such as mag lev devices. Thecslippage occurs due to magnetic field forces in the horizontal plane. There are obviously also magnetic forces in the vertical direction. Since some turntables such as ... | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? Hey, coinkidink! The early CDs were unlistenable and so are the later ones! You owe me a Coke. |
