Koetsu surprise
I bought a Koetsu Urishi Black a few years ago. I mounted it on a Pioneer PL-71, I had bought, back in ’74. At first, it sound very tinny and I was very disappointed in it’s performance. I spoke with Koetsu and they informed me my tonearm, may not... 
Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s)
BTW-proper room treatment can turn a dog into a fox/really good sounding room. You can have the best components money can buy, but if your room and your set-up isn't good, you're  chasing your tail.

As stated earlier,  there's no substitute for good components, however, u have to work with what u can manage, at the time. I used to hold with the idea-good front end-good backend. Sounds good for other apps too😊  You have to have a good source,a... 
Real Time Analizers
Thanks for the info-I figured as much.  I have a Numark 272 I'm going to get a 4 conductor plug for and use it. 
Feedback through turntable
Going on the advice of "How to Get Better Sound", I placed my TT platform on the side wall about 3 feet from my left speaker. Because my sound room is on the second floor and I have a suspended floor, I built a suspended platform, out from my wall... 
Wilson Audio floor jack
I received my speaker jack today.  It's perfect.  No need to do any modifications-the bracket is rubber coated and the jack works perfectly. 
Wilson Audio floor jack
Yes-I noticed.  No Problem, but thanks.  I will probably remove the bracket type base.  1" high!  Perfect.

I found the jack!  For those of you who need an ultra low profile speaker jack, go to California Car Cover and look for the "low billett" jack.  It's about 1" tall, lightweight aluminum and perfect for getting under those low profile speakers.  Ju...

This is Handymann again.  I didn't go in to too much detail.  I actually saw an exact clone, of the jack used by Wilson for  $199.00 and an audio enthusiast was saying he had bought one for his Maxx II's.  I thought I would be able to find it agai... 
Wilson Audio floor jack
I found almost an exact replacement for the Wilson floor jack, about six months ago, but didn't write the brand or website down. Help 
Pre-amp upgrade time?
Everyone's preference is different. If u want really tight bass, but smooth highs and mids, try tubes in the front with a beefy SS power amp.  Class A bias is best for that quick and tight bottom end.  I have had a couple of Krell power amps and a... 
High Current Outlet for Amps?
I have two Krell 600 class "A" bias monoblocks, each plugged into a higher quality medical 20 amp outlets.  The cost for the high current outlet is about $20 at any Lowes.  I have seen $200 audiophile outlets advertised, but...that's another can o... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
I have some ocean front property for sale in Arizona. 
Power Cable DIY - Please advise
I would consider these fore mentioned improvements in sound associated with psychoacoustics.  If you think you hear an improvement in the sound, that's all that matters.  I remember back in the seventies, probably before a lot of you were even bor... 
Power Cable DIY - Please advise
Through the years, I have read all the posts concerning expensive power cords and such. We all want better sound, but I can't get my head around how an expensive power cord in series with house romex wiring and power amps and such can possibly imp...
