Tom Bailey’s "street legal" ’69 Camaro ran a best of 6.73 @ 210.83 MPH in the 1/4 mile last year at Hot Rod’s Drag Week, and he drove the car home. The Bugatti Chiron runs a (very impressive) 9.4 @ 158 MPH in the same distance. Using the 1/4 mile... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? "If you spent $2M on a modern "Supercar", you’d arrive at the end of a quarter mile 2 football fields behind the quickest highly-modified "street legal" cars from the muscle car era." I question the veracity of your opening statement. Superca... | |
| Magico Ultimate III - $700,000 Speakers 2,200 lbs. I'm fairly certain they'd crash through my suspended floor. | |
| Shelf life of EMT TSD 15 rubber suspension If the cartridge does not bottom out when set at the appropriate VTF the rubber damping is fine! And if it gets hard with age? | |

| USB Digitil microscope advice I just captured these images with a $21 microscope that I purchased on Amazon. I intend to use it for cartridge setup. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I'll report back after I'm done. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WD843ZM?psc=1&ref=p... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ct0517 I'm sure it's somewhere buried in this thread, but how long is the long I-beam? I have one that's 60mm and one that's 70mm. Is there one that's longer than 70mm? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners My reasoning for weighing the magnesium and aluminum arm wands is that I just removed my aluminum arm wand to install a magnesium arm wand. The heavier magnesium arm wand should be a better match for my low compliance cartridge. Does anyone know... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but I just weighed the aluminum and magnesium arm wands. Both had foam damping material inside of them. The aluminum wand was 8.83g and the magnesium wand was 24.24g. | |
| Amazing Cartridge Repairs by Vinyl Audio Science! He took photos and videos documenting the repairs. Prices were superb!! @jbhiller Did you have to request photos and video of the repair or does he do that standard? He has one of my cartridges right now for a new body and stylus/cantilever... | |
| Unterminated bulk ethernet cable Good options so far. Any others? | |
| Could I use my analog hifi system for commerical bar? @hoangkhoi1207 All the bars in that article except one use huge speakers to fill the large rooms with sound and they look like permanent installations. I don't think yours will cut it. | |
| Step up From Rogue RP-5 You may also want to check out the older Athena or Hera which are no longer produced. It seems like a lot of people prefer them to the current offerings. | |
| Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps? Motorized stepped attenuator like in the old Rogue Hera / Athena - no, but it was klunky to use as the control sucked. @mulveling What exactly sucks about the motorized stepped attenuators in the Heras and Athenas? Mine seems to work pretty go... | |
