| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? I am saddened and bored by all these personal attack and confrontational posts. | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? There is a basic and central question to vibration control devices.Springs vs SolidSpecifically let’s look at the Townshend products vs the SRA.I do not question the validity or efficacy of Townshend but question if the SRA solid isolation is bett... | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? Silent Running Audio are swamped with orders.Try email Tim at silent Running Audio dot comBut be prepared to wait months. Worth it! | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration Is a Technics SP10-MK III in an appropriate plinth well restored better than a Woodsong Garrard 301?I guess the question is DD or Idler drive?I enjoy the physicality, drive and PRAT of the 301. | |
| The best tube poweramp. . What do you think about ? +1 Atma-SphereM-60 or MA-1Super reliable with excellent detail and tone.Believe it has more detail than VAC. | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? +1 SRA-Silent Running Audio platform.Recommended to me by Ralph Karsten, my Ohio Class platform under my Woodsong Garrard 301 was transformative. The improvement in SQ was huge. SRA builds these platforms to specifically function for the component... | |

| Amplification: what are the biggest advances of the last 40 years? +1 @atmasphere The greatest innovation in amplifier technology is the fairly recent leap in Class D development that made them as smooth as tube amps. | |

I believe that within the line of any Audio company the price dictates the SQ. Considering diminishing returns. And, mostly, being able to point out a sweet spot.B... | |

| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? The two obvious and central components needing vibration control are the TT and speakers. IME, other component also benefit but the improvements are more subtle. | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! I don’t consider cables a tweak. Rather they are a main component. | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! Without question, a great tweak was an Ohio Class SRA platform under my TT. It was like this sophisticated complex piece of gear was finally able to perform as designed.And a recent innovation in my system is QSA light blue fuses in my mono blocks... | |
