Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby?
@mtbiker29 possibly the best advise here. It took me a few years to appreciate how important room treatments are. And you can apply that philosophy to many components of your system. Years ago Linn's message was "a cheap cartridge on a Linn sound... 
Cable management....crossing at right angles or
You are worrying too much about this! there is a difference between being neat and being obsessive for no reason, unless of course you are having a problem that you have not mentioned. Take the lid of your pre-amplifire and look inside for some as...

@uncledemp  hahaha......I am eagrly awaiting the fried chicken weight loss podcast ! @thecarpathian ​​@stereo5  This whole thread has gone all over the place! Of course the whole point of being in a band is that you play your parts and instrum... 
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!
@stereo5 no one else is credited for track "Money" except Waters! Check your Vinyl or CD label. Google can help too!  
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!
It's his song and he can do what he likes to it...... the same as its your ears and you can choose what you listen to with it..... I personally don't like the new version so I will not listen to it again. It's really as simple as that!  
using 230Volts Hifi components in the Usa
As a few have already said there are plenty of options for a step-up transformer. I bought a quality one many years ago when I moved to USA and it supplies the Amp, Tuner, CD player and the cassette deck. The system is still working as my second s... 
Does a weave of cables really make a difference?
I have Synergistic Research throughout the system. However, these cables are between 10-13 years old, in those days they were between $200-$500 depending on length, so somewhat affordable then. I started with One and it made a huge difference so I... 
Turntable weight affects speed
Try the "Origin Live Gravity One".....You will be amazed at the improvement in all aspects of the sound quality in particular soundstage and instrument separation as well base definition. Just my 2 cents and I do have heavy weights too so I can ac... 
Concerningly loud pops in vinyl playback
.....additionally look at grounding the turntable itself if you have not done so already. I don't mean connecting the ground wire of the tonearm. With my Clearaudio Performance there is a ground wire which I have not bothered to connect since I ge... 
Concerningly loud pops in vinyl playback
I am suspecting static electricity but not on the record rather in yourself that is being discharged through the arm and the cartridge. two questions: (1) is the volume of the "pop" constant regardless of the volume setting of the system? (2) are ... 
Can I connect multiple sources to an external DAC
Let's start by defining what your problem is first (and then you can correct me if I m wrong!)  You have 2 digital sources and you want to improve the sound quality of both by adding an external DAC. otherwise there would be no need for adding an... 
Where should I go from here with my digital front end?
.....To Analogue for better sound quality :-) !!!  
The Beatles Revolver
I do remember the same opinions when "Let it be - Naked" was released. It's the same with all art work. Alternative versions do have a place for those who want to explore them and if they like them play them more. I really don't see an issue here... 
how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?
Although there are plenty of used turntable and no doubt many of them would be a valid contender here I would stay away from recommending one due to the fact that there is no way to know their condition. I don't know if you can stretch your budge... 
how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?
Just because most people tried to advise without knowing your budget does not make this statement a valid question: "What should I get for the littlest investment that would work better than this wobbly, squeaky  thing?"  I suppose you could arg...
