Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Suspending all cables and power cords above the floor is always a good idea. Suspending them from eye hooks in the ceiling using thread, using a rubber band on one end, will provide very good isolation for the suspended cables and cords. This susp... 
Snake oil and tweaks that work!
Try flipping the interconnects around. That can have very surprising effects. One way should always sound better than the other. That's assuming the two interconnect cables are identical in terms of direction to begin with. 
AFI FLAT Record Flatener
One assumes nobody still flattens records using glass sandwich in preheated oven on WARM for about 5-10 minutes. Experimentation with the actual temperature and time in the oven is advised to avoid damaging the record. Weighing down the top glass ...

I really like your new avatar Mapman. I can’t quite make it out. Is it a windmill?😀 
Can an old Thorens Table be "Over Dampend" to the point where sound is adversely effected?
geochThe funny thing is that even a solid lead plinth can steal the life out.you can say that again. Lead anywhere. One of the worst materials ever foisted on naive audiophiles.  
Cd Ripping - is it better to use inbuilt CD drive of laptop or use an external Cd drive
Just like in real life for any laser reading process everything matters when ripping. At least if sound quality is an issue for you. You know the drill. Vibration related to the transport mechanism, static electric fields, seismic vibration, backg...

Dealing with subwoofer Nulls
  auxinputOh, I also built an adjustable Helmholtz resonator. It had a very minor effect on the bass and I didn't see the benefit in my situation. The Helmholtz cabinet also cause a lot of blair/harshness in the upper mids highs (probably due to...
