| Feedback through turntable Going from 4 springs to 3 springs won’t buy you much. Neither 4 springs nor 3 springs provide much, if any, horizontal isolation since springs are inherently stiff in the lateral direction. There is some isolation in two rotational directions IF t... | |
| Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert? The Stones sounded really loud sometimes because they had Charlie Watts. | |
| Fuse and Power Cable improvements 'how'? - Nuprime ID-8 alpha_gtI don’t think power cables or fuses will achieve the results you are looking for. Most people who enjoy improvements with these upgrades are in measures of resolution. More air around instruments, more precise soundstage. They are not goin... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is From our friend Wikipedia,"Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring in which two conductors of a single circuit are twisted together for the purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources; for instance, electrom... | |

And trying to imagine what a system sounds like based on photos is nothing more than idle speculation. It’s... | |

| Any electronic modders here at Audiogon? I’ve isolated circuit boards from vibration, mechanically isolated transformers from the component electronics, shielded electronics and wiring and fuse from the transformer’s magnetic field, damped capacitors, damped the fuse holder, absorbed bac... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is Whoa! Hey, that guy’s voice is enough to creep any newbie half out of his wits. Part Vincent Price, part Bela Lugosi. And what’s up with all these low post trolls all of a sudden? Was there a cattle call? | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is Twist as in twisted pair would be good for noise rejection and it wouldn’t surprise me if the rate of twist per inch is critical. I.e., the twist rate is not arbitrary and depends on the wire diameter among other things. Don’t get yer panties in a... | |
| What commerical audio system tweaks provide sound quality improvement?? No audiophile has ever been electrocuted whilst cleaning outlets, even those who employed Brillo pads, coat hangers, conductive grease or silver paste, even those who declined or overlooked turning off the power at the breaker box a priori. Even w... | |
