| Springs under turntable I’m not about to argue with whatever one wants to try putting under one’s turntable, but I think there is a "logical" argument against putting springs or anything spongy (e.g., sorbothane) under speakers. The amplifier is putting energy into the ... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Oops! Amother UPDATE:I add 6 new "golden strings" 2 feet long with lava beads over my head and between speakers, for an amazing total of 65 golden strings...The goal was to structure a dispersive sound grid, active, because of the cabled resonator... | |

| Springs under turntable i dont own a turntable...But i know first hand how vibrations can kill sound...My speakers are on my desk and all my other gear parts...My "sandwiches" of different materials were good (quartz/granite/ bamboo/ sorbothane/ cork) but not enough it s... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @douglas_schroeder “If you’re running a $5-10K rig, then do not expect such music to sound great.” When reading it i was speechless...Ignorance? Snobbery? Delusion of new riches? Certainly not informed audio management installation.... What i cal... | |

| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question The reason tube amps are still around all these decades on is that they make less audible distortion than transistor amps- the brightness of solid state is caused by distortion (and is as much a coloration as anything tubes do); this is why a sol... | |
| What makes a DAC so expensive? Mahgister,Always been a big Groucho fan. You’re quotes reminded me to do some binging on old "You Bet Your Life" episodes available on Tubi.Still waiting for some of those deep philosophical quotes, but the quick wit is on full display, Not o... | |
