| Fuses that matter. Geoff, Fwiw i think you already said that! | |
| Need help fixing a Linn Axis I still love my axis. I wonder how much it would cost to replace. That would help me determine how much to invest in repairs, if they could be done reliably. | |
| Fuses that matter. "It's seems similar to a religious doctrine. "Fusism would be a good name I suppose?Nebulous things like this that defy scientific models will inevitably be viewed from a dogmatic perspective by each I suppose. What else is there to say? | |
| Bob Welch RIP Very sad news.I read earlier today that he had some recent undisclosed/unconfirmed health issues. | |

| Stylus Drag Tonywinsc,Good stuff! Thanks for adding some well thought out metrics to the discussion!If any specific turntable is able to maintain speed adequately when a record of mass N (N would vary from record to record) is placed on the platter, isn't it ... | |
| What makes music so congested? Remastered US CD from a few years back is good to average or above average depending on track as I recall. Need not sound overtly "congested" though often does from what I have heard over the years. So devil is in the details as usual. Not uncommo... | |
