| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? According to stories, Tesla considered Edison inefficient as Edison was doing trial-and-error often while Tesla thought that you had to figure it out in your head first and then do experiment just to prove you were correct.I was not there so I can... | |
| Moderately priced audio Reading many posts on Audiogon, you would think that people are embarrassed to admit they have a hard time affording anything over, let's say, $2000. Numbers discussed and thrown around are in tens of thousands for speakers and thousands for phono... | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? It is possible to do something without knowing why it worked. The problem is when one tries too hard to explain why it works and gets tangled in that. At the same time, good theory is always a good start, but does not guarantee real-life outcome.T... | |

| Forever turntable under $2000 "Sine waves can not be stored digitally and still faithfully resemble a clean waveform."The text mentioned (“Sine waves stored in ROM are used for the control waveforms at constant speed, and this achieves smoother and more stable rotation”) does ... | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Wow, people actually used newspapers as a part of audio manipulation."Removing all telephone books, in fact all books and magazines and newspapers from the house does wonders for the sound."We must be living in the golden age of sound now.
