Isolation for a table for floors with movement
Of course, you could isolate the table from the floor by suspending the table from the ceiling, using 4 guy-wires (or picture wires) attached to a solid self with the table on the self. I have and footfalls, etc. have no effect.Salut, Bob P. 
Finding Pure Water for Record Cleaning - very long
Not to worry about BPA in the water, since there is BPA in the vinyl record! Its in the plasticizer.Salut, Bob P. 
record cleaning findings/puzzle
Maclogan, then people using PVC piping that contains D-octyl-phthalate, better stop pumping methanol through them!The company that I worked for produced ester plasticizers that went into the vinyl used for records. In fact it the plasticizer was D... 
record cleaning findings/puzzle
I'll second Maclogan's assertions with reference to alcohols (at least the small lecule alcohols such as IPA)dissolving the high molecular weight plastizers, di-octyl phthalate being one of them, that are used in the PVC used for records. It doesn... 
Iso Clean Fuses
David, there wasn't really any point in starting this thread then. For those who believe that direction makes a difference (or even that fuses make a difference) then no need to remind them. For those who do not believe that direction nor fuses ma... 
Anyone else in my shoes? Ears going.........
It might not be your ears. maybe you have finally realized that there arensalut, Bob P. 
Iso Clean Fuses
Back and forth 60 times a second in power supply circuits and back and forth from 20 to 20000 times a second in speaker wires. So directionality, even if it exists in wire, makes no difference.Bob P. 
"Watts" Versus "Current"
Not to throw water (pun intended) on danyers' analogy but the water pressure at the hose nozzle is independent of the size of the hose (WHEN THERE IS NO FLOW), but will actually be LOWER at the end of a smaller hose because of the extra resistance... 
Speaker Cables
Lacee, while there is no harm in using different material in the separate legs of the speaker cables, there is no real 'rationale' for doing so, since the current is alternating and not concontinuously 'flowing' in one direction as the terms 'lead... 
so what do you do when listening?
Good music is so distrating for me that I find it impossible to do anything else that requires some concentration and have music playing at the same time. Its either turn the music off or stop the other activity and listen to the music! I don't kn... 
Turntable - On the Wall or to the Floor?
There is another solution that I have used when faced with a flimsy floor which transmits footfalls to the turntable - hang the turntable from the ceiling with 4 guy wires attached through turnbuckles attached to a large shelf. The turnbuckles are... 
Driving 4 ohm speakers
If 'high quality sound' is not the issue, then wire up in series, Alarg's misgivings not withstanding.Salut, Bob P. 
Overhang for Ortofon 2M Bronze on Rega RB301
Bobgates, that might be true, but the setting arrived at is but an approximation of the real playback conditions, since there is much less friction generated in a groveless portion of the disc.The 'listen' to the distortion in both channels method... 
dbx 3BX III and turntables . . . do you use it?
I use a Phase Linear Auto Correlator II for vinyl, except for Direct to Disc LPs - no expansion needed there!Bob P. 
Holographic imaging
Huh!All I know is that when I hear something or many things, I am hearing them all at the same time. The brain can distinguish between the time arrival between the ears, but if only one ear is working, it cannot distiguish from how far away a soun...
