Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT?
The sky is falling 
I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance
When ever I encounter a sibilant record I switch to my digital 3K -3 db notch filter curve and it goes right away at the expense of a little "presence." Problem solved. 
hi anbody have a wood record mat ?
geoffkait, what? are you one of those organic guys? 
Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help!
That you chakster. I was getting really tired of saying that. 1+ 
Low Sensitivity Speakers Compression Issue.
If you put two systems together the one that is loudest will always get the nod. A similar situation exists for dynamics. Distortion is almost never a good thing excepting maybe small levels of low even ordered harmonic distortion depending on you... 
Solid state AB amp?
Vladimir you lost me after "I don't think so." 
Fan on Amp Unbeatable
You may be able to replace the fan with a fan exactly the same size that is quieter. Digikey and Parts Express have hundreds of them. Measure the voltage on the fan leads it is usually 110 VAC or 25 VDC. If 25 VDC you can wire a pot to it to adjus...

Then you read what Sanders has to say and you really start scratching your head. http://sanderssoundsystems.com/technical-white-papers/53-esl-amp-bias-white-paper It all comes down to what you like the sound of best. 95% of the population couldn... 
Acoustic treatment
Geoffkait. Still not a direct answer. I probably knew what a Helmholtz resonator was before you were born. In 1978 I had two RH Labs (Randy Hooker) sub woofers. They were essentially enclosed Helmholtz resonators adjusted to 30 Hz if I remember co... 
Acoustic treatment
Sorry folks. It falls off like a rock at 18 Hz. My typing is worse than awful.They did not teach boys how to type because we did not become secretaries.  
Acoustic treatment
Tim, I think you should find a job as a used car salesman, excuse me salesperson.Actually summed bass below 100 Hz is an advantage in most acoustic situations you would have in the typical home.Jon, It would be easier with identical subs. But if y... 
The Presslift
For $400 I'll pass. If I do not want to pay attention to my wonderful turntables I'll play a digital format. mindpoprevolution, you can take your flying saucer thing-a-ma-jiggie and.........I'll think of something less poetic than what I had in mi... 
Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT?
You guys sometime make me want to pull out whatever hair I have left. You are spending someone else money without analyzing the situation.The TT is sitting on a heavy stand on a concrete floor. There is no isolation platform that is better than fo... 
Acoustic treatment
Oh and Mr Rocket science. How big would a helmholtz resonator have to be to resonate at 20 Hz? Anyone care to guess? 
Acoustic treatment
It is easy to Dampen frequencies 250 Hz and up. Doing so creatively can make a big improvement in imaging. Unfortunately as you go further down especially as the wavelengths get longer than 100 Hz it becomes progressively harder. I have played wit...
