| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About The drift velocity of electrons in copper wire is around 1 inch per minute!Current occurs immediately almost at the speed of light. Kijank is right that the dielectric affects the speed and field strength. But also important is the presence and d... | |
| Total bass suck out at 40hz Mizike, leave everything as it is for now. Have you measured at different points in the room? It sounds like you are measuring in a null. Putting subs next to your sofa might be great for Movies but really bad for Hi Fi.Subs in corners is alway a ... | |
| Help with TT ideas for my first TT I hate to say this (not really) But VPI makes some of the worst turntables on the market. Their engineering is strictly stone age. I'm in big trouble now 🥵 The truth will set you free? | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About jcole, I have what you would call a reasonably high end system. I do not waste my money on any of that garbage. Cable elevators are just a cosmetic thing to show off your stupidly expensive cables. Any sonic improvement they make is purely psychol... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Right. If we are talking about a 2 channel high fidelity system one sub never works well for a multitude of reasons. When you get to two subs crawling around on all fours is an evolutionary step backwards and totally unnecessary. Sub placement has... | |
| Total bass suck out at 40hz Mizike, is there anything below 40 Hz? If not then that is just were your speakers run out of gas. Very few speakers make it below that. If you want to go lower you will have to cross over to subs. | |
| Springs under turntable Rix, just how would you address that? | |

| Isoacoustic isolators Vs Daedalus Audio did isolators audioquest4life, if vibration effected electronic devises our military jets and vehicles would be in big trouble. The best solution is a sturdy enclosed cabinet. I personally do not like open racks and I do not put my equipment any where near the ... | |
| Leave tube amps always on? BS, it absolutely does not cost you more energy to turn your tube amps on an off relative to leaving them on all the time. Tube life is shortened but not as dramatically as you would think. I do know some people who keep them on because they hate ... | |
| Perspective bberys, get a 10 sp record chain. Your dura ace will shift great. I put a record chain on my wife's Ultegra DI2 Specialized and she swears it shifts better. She broke her chain and I only had the Campy chain in my kit. All my bikes have Thompson s... | |
| Goldring 1042 Anti Skate Too High on Dead Wax nehhogan, push the VTF up to 2.0 gm and see how it goes. That is the max allowable VTF for that cartridge. | |
| Goldring 1042 Anti Skate Too High on Dead Wax nedhogan, check the stylus to make sure it is not defective. A 10X magnifier will do. Make sure the VTF is not too low. I know you said you checked it. There is an old expression. Measure twice, cut once. Check it with a digital tracking force gau... | |
| Springs under turntable Lewm, not at all but, people do funny things. Reducing the spring rate would be tough. You would have to replace all four springs with springs exactly the same size and length under tension. Some people may have added damping to the springs by stu... | |
